ZwZ2: Single-Image Evidence Connection Boosts Multimodal Reasoning Across Tasks

Shanghai Jiao Tong University researchers introduce ZwZ2 and the EvidenceConnect framework, which synthesizes 20.4K single-image training samples requiring models to connect evidence across multiple regions, yielding 4B, 9B, and 27B models that surpass base models on 25 benchmarks and transfer gains to multi-image, spatial reasoning, and agent tasks.
