Rethinking Multi-Image Re-Representation in Multi-Image Understanding

Multi-image understanding requires MLLMs not only to recognise the content of individual images, but also to organise visual evidence distributed across them. We study this problem through multi-image re-representation, viewing prompted Chain-of-Thought reasoning and agentic visual tool use as different ways of re-organising visual evidence during reasoning. We introduce Mosaic, a general-purpose multi-image visual harness that enables an MLLM to actively construct visual intermediates with ten composable image operations. We compare five re-representation settings on existing multi-image benchmarks and on MosaicBench, a new grounding-focused benchmark for fine-grained multi-image underst...
