VAMPS: Visual-Assisted Mathematical Problem Solving Benchmark 文章

arXiv:2606.04244v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models are increasingly capable of complex reasoning, yet their performance often degrades when they must externalize a problem through a tool and then reason over the tool's output, specifically when they rely on visual aids. This gap is especially important because real engineering and scientific workflows often rely on visualization tools for analysis, validation, and decision-making. To study this discrepancy, we introduce VAMPS (Visual-Assisted Mathematical Problem Solving), a benchmark for graph-assisted mathematics. VAMPS contains 1,168 multimodal, bilingual multiple-choice question-answer pairs drawn from Iranian University Entrance Exam algebra and calculus problems and expanded with human-reviewed LLM-generated synthetic variants, all selected so that plotting provides a natural solution strategy by revealing intersections, extrema, asymptotes, etc.
