Evidencepartial
Ostrakon-VL achieves an average score of 60.1 on ShopBench, establishing a new state of the art among open-source MLLMs with comparable parameter scales and diverse architectures.
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated numeric result with clear comparison context in the abstract.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Notably, it surpasses the substantially larger Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B (59.4) by +0.7
Implicationpartial
Direct numeric comparison provided in the abstract with specific model names and scores.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
and exceeds the same-scale Qwen3-VL-8B (55.3) by +4.8, demonstrating significantly improved parameter efficiency.
Implicationpartial
Direct numeric comparison with same-scale model showing performance improvement.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we introduce ShopBench, the first public benchmark for FSRS.
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated as 'the first public benchmark for FSRS' in the abstract.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we propose QUAD (Quality-aware Unbiased Automated Data-curation), a multi-stage multimodal instruction data curation pipeline.
Implicationpartial
Directly described in the abstract as a proposed solution to data quality challenges.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
real-world FSRS data, collected from heterogeneous acquisition devices, are highly noisy and lack auditable, closed-loop data curation, which impedes the construction of high-quality, controllable, and reproducible training corpora
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated as a major obstacle in the abstract's problem description.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
existing evaluation protocols do not offer a unified, fine-grained and standardized benchmark spanning single-image, multi-image, and video inputs, making it challenging to objectively gauge model robustness.
Implicationpartial
Directly stated as the second major obstacle in the abstract.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we first develop Ostrakon-VL, an FSRS-oriented MLLM based on Qwen3-VL-8B.
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated in both abstract and analysis sections.
