Navigation with VLM framework: Towards Going to Any Language

arXiv — cs.CLWednesday, October 29, 2025 at 4:00:00 AM
Recent advancements in Vision Language Models (VLMs) are paving the way for more efficient navigation in open scenes, addressing long-standing challenges in the field. These models can intelligently reason with both language and visual data, making them a promising tool for achieving fully open language goals. This development is significant as it could lead to more accessible and versatile navigation systems, enhancing user experiences across various applications.

NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The article examines the dual role of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) explanations in enhancing transparency and potentially fostering confirmation bias in users. It highlights how users often equate trust with agreement on outcomes, even when reasoning is flawed, and how confident delivery tones can suppress error detection. This underscores the complexity of CoT explanations in vision language models (VLMs) and their impact on user trust and error recognition.
FinCriticalED: A Visual Benchmark for Financial Fact-Level OCR Evaluation
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
FinCriticalED (Financial Critical Error Detection) is introduced as a visual benchmark for evaluating OCR and vision language models specifically on financial documents at the fact level. This benchmark addresses the challenges posed by the visually dense layouts of financial documents, where minor OCR errors can lead to significant misinterpretations. It provides 500 image-HTML pairs with expert-annotated financial facts, marking a shift from traditional metrics to a focus on factual correctness.
