Anchoring What Matters: A Dual-Level Learning Framework for Visually-Grounded Multimodal Reasoning
摘要
arXiv:2609.18057v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has significantly improved the reasoning capabilities of large vision-language models (LVLMs). However, standard on-policy RLVR algorithms face a critical optimization bottleneck in preserving and reinforcing visually grounded reasoning behaviors: valuable visually-grounded reasoning trajectories are discarded after a single update, while uniform token advantage allocation prevents the model from reinforcing critical perception or reasoning steps. To bridge this gap, we propose PIVOT, a dual-level learning framework that anchors policy optimization around informative visual reasoning signals. Specifically, PIVOT introduces a self-calibrated experience replay mechanism, which selectively collects and replays visually-grounded historical experiences as stable reference anchors for policy optimization. Building upon this, we further design a vision-guided advantage allocation mechanism to allocate additional vision-aware advantages to tokens based on their local visual support and impact on downstream reasoning. Extensive experiments across diverse benchmarks demonstrate that PIVOT achieves highly competitive performance in enhancing the multimodal reasoning capabilities of LVLMs.
