This model card describes **BiPS (Bi-directional Perceptual Shaping)**, a **training-time** framework proposed in *“See Less, See Right: Bi-directional Perceptual Shaping For Multimodal Reasoning”* [CVPR 2026].

## What is BiPS?
Many VLMs fail on multimodal reasoning because they **look at the wrong visual evidence** (especially for charts, thin lines, intersections, and small regions). BiPS improves **question-conditioned visual grounding** by turning “where-to-look” supervision into training signals—**without requiring extra tools at inference time**.
## Key idea
BiPS trains a VLM with two complementary view transformations:
- **Evidence-Preserving View**: keep only the visual evidence needed to answer, reduce distractions.
→ enforce **consistency** between predictions from the original image and the preserved view.
- **Evidence-Ablated View**: remove the key evidence so the image no longer supports the answer.
→ enforce **separation** so the model cannot rely on shortcuts.
These constraints are typically implemented with **KL-based objectives** and can be integrated into **GRPO** training.
## Why it matters
- Better **fine-grained evidence alignment**
- Less “guessing” from language priors
- **No additional inference overhead** (views are used only during training)
## How to use
BiPS is mainly a **training recipe**. To apply it:
1. Follow the official repo to set up dependencies and scripts.
2. Train your base VLM with BiPS-generated **preserve/ablate** views.
3. Use the resulting checkpoint as a standard VLM at inference time (no extra steps).
