Title: Understanding vs. Generation: Navigating Optimization Dilemma in Multimodal Models
Abstract:
arXiv:2602.15772v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current research in multimodal models faces a key challenge where enhancing generative capabilities often comes at the expense of understanding, and vice versa. We analyzed this trade-off and identify the primary cause might be the potential conflict between generation and understanding, which creates a competitive dynamic within the model. To address this, we propose the Reason-Reflect-Refine (R3) framework. This innovative algorithm re-
