This paper investigates vision-language models (VLM) as reasoners, specifically focusing on their ability to form abstractions and problem-solve in various domains. The authors draw from several formalisms that underlie human and AI reasoning skills, including the SMART task introduced by Cherian et al. (2022). They employ these abstractions along eight axes: math, counting, path, measure, logic, spatial, and pattern to examine VLM’s ability to reason in these areas. The authors also investigate avenues of improvement for VLMs, including composite representations with vision-language cross-attention and proper hyperparameter choices. These efforts lead to significant improvements (up to 48% gain in accuracy) on the SMART task, highlighting the power of deep multimodal learning.

This paper looks at how well machines can reason like humans do. It’s about using a combination of visual and language understanding to solve problems and make decisions. The researchers use a special set of rules called the SMART task to test their machine models’ abilities. They find that by combining different types of information, they can improve their machine’s ability to reason in areas like math, logic, and spatial understanding. This is an important step forward in creating machines that can think and problem-solve more like humans.
