Can Visual Generation Expand What Unified Multimodal Models Know?
arXiv:2610.21459v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified multimodal models (UMMs) receive image-generation supervision that exposes them to visual information not fully documented in text. Can learning to generate images expand what pretrained models know? We introduce Knowledge Transfer Probing (KTP), a controlled protocol that supplies new knowledge through image-generation training and tests its accessibility through text-only question answering. Across seven knowledge categories and three…
