WikiSeeker: Rethinking the Role of Vision-Language Models in Knowledge-Based Visual Question Answering (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for Knowledge-Based Visual Question Answering rely on images as the retrieval key, and often overlook or misplace the role of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-modal RAG framework that assigns VLMs two specialized agents: a Refiner and an Inspector. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on EVQA, InfoSeek, and M2KR show that the proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art performance with significant improvements in both retrieval accuracy and answer quality. |
