ReasonUni: Reasoning-Augmented Reconstruction Advances Unified Multimodal Models
arXiv:2610.20781v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image-to-text (I2T) understanding and text-to-image (T2I) generation are dual tasks in unified multimodal models (UMMs). Reconstructive post-training couples these tasks, but existing reconstruction-based methods remain perception-centric and provide limited supervision for reasoning about structure, intent, and transformation. We propose ReasonUni, a reasoning-augmented reconstructive post-training framework that extends this coupling beyond pe…
