Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have facilitated Multimodal Summarization with Multimodal Output (MSMO), wherein systems generate concise textual summaries accompanied by salient visuals from multimodal sources. However, current MSMO evaluation remains fragmented: text quality, image-tex...

Multimodal summarization requires models to jointly understand textual and visual inputs to generate concise, semantically coherent summaries. Existing methods often inject shallow visual features into deep language models, leading to representational mismatches and weak cross-modal grounding. We...
