图表编辑需从参考图像中推断并修改可视化代码,依赖多模态模型在细粒度视觉推理、指令遵循和可执行代码合成方面的综合能力。大推理模型(LRMs)具备长链式思维(CoT)能力,适合处理此类复杂任务。但初步研究表明,推理长度与编辑性能呈倒U型关系:过度推理常导致‘过度思考’,模型会幻化出不存在的视觉细节或陷入冗余推理循环。为此,我们提出REChart,一种两阶段训练框架,对中间推理步骤提供过程级监督,提升编辑保真度与推理效率。首先,基于大规模图像-指令-代码数据池,采用角色分工的代理式‘思考-评分-修正’流程,合成20万条高质量推理轨迹用于监督微调。其次,通过强化学习优化模型,采用双奖励机制:保真度奖励评估代码正确性、视觉保真度与结构一致性;效率奖励为每轮推理分配随机思考预算,截断推理过程,并根据最终推理段对输出的贡献给予奖励。在ChartEdit与ChartMIMIC基准上,我们的模型在同规模开源模型中表现最佳,同时缓解过度思考问题,在最大思考预算16,384个token下,平均推理词元消耗降低79.0%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Chart editing requires inferring and modifying visualization code from a reference chart image based on an editing instruction, challenging fine-grained visual reasoning, instruction following, and executable code synthesis capabilities of MLLMs. Large reasoning models (LRMs) with extended Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning are suitable for tackling such complex multimodal tasks. However, our preliminary study reveals an ``inverted-U'' relationship between reasoning length and chart-editing performance: Excessive reasoning often leads to ``overthinking,'' where models drift toward hallucinated visual details or get stuck in redundant reasoning loops. To address the gap, we introduce REChart, a two-stage training framework that provides process-level supervision over intermediate reasoning steps, improving both editing fidelity and reasoning efficiency. First, we synthesize 200k high-quality reasoning trajectories for supervised fine-tuning from a large image-instruction-code pool, using a role-specialized agentic Reason-Score-Refine workflow that iteratively refine the chart code toward higher quality. Second, we optimize the model via reinforcement learning with two complementary rewards: a \emph{fidelity} reward evaluating code correctness, visual fidelity, and structural consistency, and an \emph{efficiency} reward that assigns each rollout a random thinking budget, truncates the reasoning process, and credits the final reasoning segment according to its contribution to the output. On the ChartEdit and ChartMIMIC benchmarks, our model achieves state-of-the-art chart-editing performance among open-source models of comparable scale, while mitigating overthinking and reducing average reasoning token usage by 79.0\% under a maximum thinking budget of 16,384 tokens compared with the base model.
