Consistency as Inductive Bias: Learning Cross-View Invariance for Robust Multimodal Reasoning
Xin Zou, Haolin Deng, Yibo Yan, Shuliang Liu, Kening Zheng, Zhiwei Jin, et al.
Inductive biases steer learning toward generalizable solutions by encoding task structure. In this work, we identify a crucial missing bias in MLLMs: cross-view consistency, \textit{i.e.}, semantically invariant views of the same instance should lead to the same answer. Standard…
