Deconstructing Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning: Towards a Unified Perception-Alignment-Reasoning Paradigm

ArXi:2603.08291v1 Announce Type: new Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning (MMR) has recently attracted increasing attention for its capability to solve mathematical problems that involve both textual and visual modalities. However, current models still face significant challenges in real-world visual math tasks. They often misinterpret diagrams, fail to align mathematical symbols with visual evidence, and produce inconsistent reasoning steps. Moreover, existing evaluations mainly focus on checking final answers rather than verifying the correctness or executability of each intermediate step.
