Title: Robust-U1: Can MLLMs Self-Recover Corrupted Visual Content for Robust Understanding?

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.08063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable success in visual understanding, yet their performance degrades significantly under real-world visual corruptions. While existing robustness enhancement approaches exist, they are limited: black-box feature alignment lacks interpretability, and white-box text-based reasoning cannot restore lost pixel-level details. This work investigates a fundamental research question: Can MLL
