H-GRPO: Permutation-Invariant Reinforcement Learning for Grounded Visual Reasoning

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) often achieve high performance on benchmarks while remaining "black boxes", yet they remain prone to hallucination or rely on superficial shortcuts. In this work, we propose a framework designed to enhance both performance and interpretability through De-compositional Evidence Grounding. Unlike monolithic inference approaches, our approach forces the model to decompose a global query into a sequence of atomic sub-questions, each requiring an explicit sub-answer and critically a localized evidence bounding box. By grounding intermediate logical steps (e.g. identifying a container, analyzing liquid properties, and assessing environmental context) in specific vi...
