TikArt: Stabilizing Aperture-Guided Fine-Grained Visual Reasoning with Reinforcement Learning
- 用可变视野逐步查看图像重点区域,边看边思考
- 在复杂图表和微小物体上推理准确率提升显著
- 适合需要精细观察的视觉问答与目标分割任务
多模态大模型在细粒度视觉推理中受限于单次全局图像编码:关键线索常存在于微小物体、杂乱区域、细微标记或密集图表中。我们提出TikArt(Think-Aperture-Observe),一种基于可调视口的智能体,将多模态推理建模为对感兴趣区域的序列化证据获取过程。TikArt采用思考-视口-观察(TAO)循环,交替进行语言推理与两种视口操作:Zoom(提取矩形裁剪)和Segment(调用现成分割器生成以对象为中心的掩码视图)。每次视口操作后强制执行观察步骤,将局部证据写回文本,实现可解释的视口轨迹与持续的语言记忆。基于Qwen3-VL-8B,TikArt采用两阶段课程的GRPO风格强化学习训练。为稳定长时程工具融合学习,引入相对不确定性降低(RUR)奖励,由冻结评估器计算,鼓励证据积累并抑制工具滥用。在高分辨率推理、通用多模态理解以及指代与推理导向的分割任务上,均显著优于基线模型,证明视口引导观察能有效提升细粒度视觉推理能力,并自然迁移至像素级定位任务。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Fine-grained visual reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is bottlenecked by single-pass global image encoding: key evidence often lies in tiny objects, cluttered regions, subtle markings, or dense charts. We present \textbf{TikArt} (\textbf{T}h\textbf{i}n\textbf{k}ing \textbf{A}pe\textbf{rt}ure), an aperture-guided agent that formulates multimodal reasoning as sequential evidence acquisition over regions of interest. TikArt follows a Think--Aperture--Observe (TAO) loop that interleaves language reasoning with two aperture actions: Zoom, which extracts rectangular crops, and Segment, which invokes an off-the-shelf segmenter to produce object-centric mask-based views for irregular targets. A mandatory Observation step after every aperture action writes local evidence back into text, yielding interpretable aperture trajectories and persistent linguistic memory. Built on Qwen3-VL-8B, TikArt is trained with GRPO-style reinforcement learning under a two-stage curriculum. To stabilize long-horizon tool-integrated learning, we introduce Relative Uncertainty Reduction (RUR), a dense reward computed by a frozen evaluator that favors evidence-building trajectories and mitigates degenerate tool use. Experiments on high-resolution reasoning, general multimodal understanding, and both referring and reasoning-oriented segmentation show consistent gains over the backbone, demonstrating that aperture-guided observation improves fine-grained visual reasoning and transfers naturally to pixel-level grounding.
