People handle such tasks by sketching, checking intermediate pictures and trying alternative routes. Earlier multimodal "slow thinking" methods either reason purely in text over a fixed input image or add visual help… 2. **[Autoregressive Semantic Visual Reconstruction Helps VLMs Understand Better](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-autoregressive-semantic-visual-reconstruction-helps/)** *(2026 · 7 citations)* Most large vision-language models (LVLMs) such as LLaVA receive training signal only on their text answers. 3. **[VideoPro: Adaptive Program Reasoning for Long Video Understanding](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/li-2026-videopro-adaptive-program-reasoning-long/)** *(2026 · 6 citations)* Long videos are hard for VideoLLMs because the visual cues needed to answer a question are few and scattered across a long timeline. 4. **[GeometryZero: Advancing Geometry Solving via Group Contrastive Policy Optimization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-geometryzero-advancing-geometry-solving-group/)** *(2026)* Geometry problems remain hard for LLMs, mainly because many of them require drawing extra lines or points. ## Co-authors here 12 of 20 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jiaqi Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaqi-wang/) ×3 - [Dacheng Tao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dacheng-tao/) ×2 - [Dianyi Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dianyi-wang/) ×2 - [Qipeng Guo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qipeng-guo/) ×2 - [Chenglin Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenglin-li/) - [Haitao Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haitao-li/) - [Haowen Hou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haowen-hou/) - [Jingqi Tong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jingqi-tong/) - [Kaicheng Yu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kaicheng-yu/) - [Liang Ding](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/liang-ding/) - [Qianglong Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qianglong-chen/) - [Qinyuan Cheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qinyuan-cheng/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) ×2: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/), [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ×2: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 22 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [13 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yikun-wang/cited-by/).
