Abstract

In recent years, multimodal large language models have undergone rapid development and demonstrated excellent performance in various multimodal downstream tasks. However, the current mainstream multimodal large language models still perform unsatisfactorily in function image reasoning tasks, which requires the model to not only possess strong visual perception capabilities but also perform chained thinking reasoning to accurately understand and answer questions involving mathematical functions. To address these issues, a specially designed instruction fine-tuning dataset, FunctionQA, tailored for function image reasoning tasks was first constructed. Each data point, in addition to standard question-answer pairs, also includes a detailed chained reasoning process, ensuring that the model can learn complex reasoning steps during training. Secondly, a four-stage fine-tuning strategy was designed for function image reasoning tasks, gradually optimizing the visual encoder, multimodal adapter, and large language model, and incorporating LoRA technology to reduce training costs. Experimental results show that the mFunction-4B model, built on the LLaVA framework, achieved an accuracy of 43.55% on the MathVista testmini FunctionQA subset with 4B parameters after optimization using the FunctionQA dataset and the four-stage fine-tuning strategy, representing a 14.52% improvement over the baseline model LLaVA-1.5-7B, validating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
