Visual Document Understanding and Reasoning: A Multi-Agent Collaboration Framework with Agent-Wise Adaptive Test-Time Scaling

A new framework for cascading multi-agent anomaly detection in surveillance systems has been introduced, utilizing vision-language models and embedding-based classification to enhance real-time performance and semantic interpretability. This approach integrates various methodologies, including reconstruction-gated filtering and object-level assessments, to address the complexities of detecting anomalies in dynamic visual environments.

The introduction of VMMU, a Vietnamese Multitask Multimodal Understanding and Reasoning Benchmark, aims to assess the capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs) in interpreting and reasoning over visual and textual information in Vietnamese. This benchmark includes 2.5k multimodal questions across seven diverse tasks, emphasizing genuine multimodal integration rather than text-only cues.
