Improving Scene Text Recognition in Multimodal Large Language Models using Visual Text Grounding

· 0 citations · 58 references

TL;DR

This work introduces three tasks/objectives for reverse localization of text as an instruction-tuning mechanism, where the model is guided to extract textual content based on spatial localization cues, thereby enhancing its spatial grounding ability.

One Patch Is Enough: Reinforcement-Optimized Visual Token Grounding for MLLM-Based Scene Text Spotting

This work proposes Single-Patch Text Spotting (SPaTS), a vision-centric framework that routes each text instance through a single anchor visual token and then recovers geometry via full-image refinement and introduces Single-Patch Selective Optimization (SPaSO), a reinforcement learning framework that optimizes discret...

A Paragraph is Worth a Thousand Captions: Rethinking Text Supervision for Vision-Language Retrieval

It is shown that paragraph supervision enables effective use of long token sequences, whereas caption-only training degrades beyond 60 tokens, and paragraph supervision consistently benefits long-description benchmarks and hard negatives prove detrimental in text-only fine-tuning.

VPDL: Visual Prompt-Guided Differential Learning for Generalizable Scene Text Recognition

Inspired by the human ability to reference prior visual knowledge when recognizing text, VPDL introduces a set of character-level visual prompts that guide the model in perceiving appearance variations among characters and develops a local-to-global differential learning strategy that enhances patch-level representatio...
