Autoregressive large models have recently advanced Text-to-SVG generation from simple icons to complex, long-context graphics, yet standard autoregressive decoding often fails to maintain global consistency across geometry, layout, occlusion, and composition. We introduce CANVAS (Consistency-Aware Navigation via Visual Adaptive Sampling), a training-free, render-aware inference framework that combines power-sharpened trajectory likelihood with visual feedback from rendered futures and derives a stroke-wise navigation rule. It effectively estimates each candidate stroke's future value under a limited generation and rendering budget and adaptively allocates samples according to candidate uncertainty, decision influence, and rollout cost. Experiments across multiple autoregressive SVG backbones and complementary benchmarks demonstrate improvements in global consistency, which includes sound geometric relationships, spatial layouts, occlusion ordering, and overall composition, without additional training, demonstrating the effectiveness and generalization ability of our framework.
In demanding professional environments and meeting review scenarios, lengthy text often imposes a high cognitive load. To facilitate efficient information communication, transforming verbose text into logically clear diagrams is essential. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) provide an effective representation for this purpose due to their editability and resolution independence. However, current research on Text-to-SVG generation remains hindered by three major challenges: (1) the scarcity of datasets for complex, logic-rich diagrams; (2) the absence of explicit layout priors, which leads to chaotic spatial arrangements; and (3) the lack of fine-grained visual feedback to validate rendered outputs and correct aesthetic defects. To address these challenges, at the data level, we introduce DocMeetSVG-100K, a large-scale SVG dataset tailored for document authoring and meeting review scenarios. At the model level, we propose GVR-Coder, a novel framework designed to generate high-quality logical diagrams from lengthy professional texts. Specifically, we adopt a curriculum-driven rejection sampling fine-tuning to progressively enhance the model's capability in modeling complex structures, while explicitly incorporating layout constraint knowledge during training. In addition, we introduce reinforcement learning from dual rendering feedback, a mechanism that provides implicit feedback through reward signals to jointly optimize structural complexity and visual aesthetics. Furthermore, we design a generate-verify-repair agent loop, which improves generation quality through explicit, fine-grained feedback and targeted refinement. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GVR-Coder outperforms competitive baselines and reliably produces logically coherent and visually appealing diagrams.

We propose RefineSVG, a single-step closed-loop visual feedback framework that enables multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to perform high-fidelity image-to-SVG generation through self-correction. Existing MLLM-based approaches rely on single-pass open-loop inference, where the model receives visual input only once and must generate thousands of SVG code tokens without intermediate verification. This paradigm inevitably leads to geometric drift, error accumulation, and visual hallucination on complex images. RefineSVG overcomes this limitation by invoking an external rendering engine after an initial SVG generation pass to compare the rendered output against the target image. The comparison yields a multi-dimensional visual residual map (Diff-Map) that is fed back to the model as a ReAct-style correction signal, driving a targeted correction step. To support this render-observe-correct interaction, we further introduce an SVG-oriented semantic vocabulary that compresses token sequences by over 52%. A progressive training pipeline spanning supervised fine-tuning, rejection-sampling cold-start data construction, and end-to-end agentic reinforcement learning aligns the model with closed-loop visual correction. Extensive experiments show that RefineSVG consistently outperforms existing baselines in reconstruction fidelity, structural accuracy, and code efficiency.Code is available at https://github.com/liuxiaobo66/RefineSVG.
Automatic prompt optimization (APO) has been widely adopted to adapt vision-language models (VLMs) to downstream tasks without weight updates, yielding promising results. However, on multimodal tasks, the effectiveness of APO is fundamentally bottlenecked by a blind feedback channel: the optimizer reads the question, the prediction, and the gold answer, but never the input image on which the model failed, and therefore cannot diagnose visually grounded errors. As a remedy, we introduce Cross-Modal Visual Feedback (CMVF). CMVF incorporates (1) a failure-conditioned visual diagnosis stage, in which a stronger optimizer VLM inspects each failed image without access to predictions or labels, and (2) an error-aware aggregation stage that compresses these observations into reusable, task-level visual blind-spot patterns that drive the prompt rewrite. Crucially, the image is consumed only during optimization; the deployed artifact is an ordinary text prompt that runs at the same inference cost as any text-only baseline. Extensive results across 12 VQA datasets and 4 target VLMs demonstrate that CMVF consistently ranks first, improving over the strongest baseline on every target by 2.4 points on average, with gains of up to 6.5 points on individual benchmarks. Moreover, the optimizer self-organizes into expert-style visual checklists that transfer across models without re-optimization.
Code-generating large language models (LLMs) increasingly produce visual artifacts such as charts, web pages, and slides by writing programs that are executed by non-differentiable renderers, committing to code before observing the render. As a result, otherwise executable code often yields artifacts with visually salient defects, including overlapping elements, clipped text, broken alignment, low contrast, and overflow. We study visual-feedback self-distillation for code-generated visual artifacts. We propose Visual-SDPO, a self-distillation policy-optimization framework that treats rendered visual feedback as privileged context for a weight-sharing teacher and distills this feedback into a coding student. To make supervision spatially targeted rather than uniform, we introduce Visual-Grounded Code Credit Weighting, which traces each detected defect back to the code statements responsible for the affected elements and amplifies the distillation signal on those statements. A sequence-level GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) term complements the dense token-level objective by rewarding executable, visually high-quality rollouts, while failed executions remain learnable through the self-distillation path by passing execution errors as privileged context to the teacher. We instantiate Visual-SDPO for chart, web/UI, and slide generation with a unified Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct backbone. Across chart-to-code, UI-to-code, and slide-generation benchmarks (ChartMimic, Design2Code, and AeSlides), Visual-SDPO improves over the zero-shot base by more than 10 absolute points in the primary metric and over GRPO by at least 2.4 points, with fewer training steps and no added inference-time cost.
Visual posters are a compact medium for communicating dense information, yet progress on automatic poster generation remains difficult to measure because existing evaluations are often restricted to paper-only inputs, narrow domains, or surface-level visual similarity. We introduce Any2Poster Bench, a benchmark for any-source poster generation that evaluates systems across eight input modalities--PDFs, URLs, PPTX, DOCX, Markdown, LaTeX, notebooks, and videos--and five content domains. Any2Poster Bench pairs each source with quiz-based probes of verbatim factual retention and interpretive understanding, together with VLM-based judgments of visual quality, layout, readability, content completeness, and logical flow, enabling reproducible assessment of both information fidelity and visual communication. To instantiate and validate this benchmark, we further present Any2Poster Agent, an end-to-end reference agent that parses heterogeneous sources, organizes salient content, plans poster layouts, renders posters, and iteratively refines them using visual feedback. On Any2Poster Bench, Any2Poster Agent achieves 87.25% average accuracy across input modalities and 87.28% across content domains. On PaperQuiz-style evaluation, where prior paper-to-poster agents are directly comparable, Any2Poster Agent improves over PosterAgent-4o from 51.06-51.33% to 72.58% overall accuracy and from 116-121 to 145.16 in density-augmented score. Together, Any2Poster Bench and Any2Poster Agent provide a reusable evaluation resource and a competitive baseline for studying multimodal, domain-general poster generation.
Recent advances in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have benefited from Reinforcement Learning (RL) for enhanced reasoning. However, existing methods still face critical limitations, including the lack of low-level visual information and effective visual feedback. To address these problems, this paper proposes a unified multimodal interleaved reasoning framework \textbf{ForeSight}, which enables VLMs to \textbf{See Further} with low-level visual cues and \textbf{Think Deeper} with effective visual feedback. First, it introduces a set of low-level visual tools to integrate essential visual information into the reasoning chain, mitigating the neglect of fine-grained visual features. Second, a mask-based visual feedback mechanism is elaborated to incorporate visual reflection into the thinking process, enabling the model to dynamically re-examine and update its answers. Driven by RL, ForeSight learns to autonomously decide on tool invocation and answer verification, with the final answer accuracy as the reward signal. To evaluate the performance of the proposed framework, we construct a new dataset, Character and Grounding SalBench (CG-SalBench), based on the SalBench dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the ForeSight-7B model significantly outperforms other models with the same parameter scale, and even surpasses the current SOTA closed-source models on certain metrics.
