| Challenge: | Existing benchmarks focus more on end-to-end performance, but neglect the underlying principles of knowledge acquisition and generalization. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark specifically designed to explore the problem-solving principles by decomposing 6.5K visual math problems into 10.9K step-level questions for evaluation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark covers 6.5K visual math problems and 10.9K step-level questions spanning 5 layers of knowledge granularity and 67 hierarchical knowledge concepts. |

| Challenge: | Existing approaches to improve contextual faithfulness treat the LLM as a black box, generating responses that are inconsistent with the provided context. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for faithful RAG that operates in three stages: (i) fine-grained knowledge pruning to filter irrelevant context, (ii) latent conflict probing to identify hard conflicts in the model’s latent space, and (iv) conflict-aware attention to modulate attention heads toward faithful context integration. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that ProbeRAG significantly improves both accuracy and contextual faithfulness. |

| Challenge: | Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) is a new approach to document retrieval, but it is not suitable for legal reasoning. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for reliable legal reasoning that structures knowledge as relational graphs and uses a multi-agent system to verify validity. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms existing GraphRAG models in accurate and trustworthy legal analysis. |

| Challenge: | Existing methods for hierarchical text classification are lacking in the field of natural language processing. |
| Approach: | They propose a hierarchy-aware T5 model with path-adaptive attention mechanism to exploit hierarchical dependency across different levels. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models especially in Macro-F1 and low Macro. |

| Challenge: | Existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) lack spatial reasoning, despite text-based CoTs . e-ViC reframes spatial intelligence as a verifiable, tool-using capability, argues a new study. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that moves reasoning beyond text into the visual domain . they ground reasoning in pixel-level interactions to enable human-like "look-and-confirm" strategies . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms existing Vision-Language Models with an average gain of 10.1%. |
