Recent studies posit that Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) primarily amplifies behaviors inherent to the pre-training distribution rather than inducing new capabilities, but these insights are predominantly limited to language-only domains, leaving the dynamics of visual-cent...

Multi-modal retrieval-augmented generation (MM-RAG) relies heavily on re-rankers to surface the most relevant evidence for image-question queries. However, standard re-rankers typically process the full query image as a global embedding, making them susceptible to visual distractors (e.g., backgr...
