Memes have emerged as a prominent medium for conveying public sentiment on sensitive health topics such as vaccination. Unlike conventional multimodal tasks, memes feature implicit stances, sarcastic nuances, and complex cross-modal interactions, posing significant challenges for accurate stance detection. This paper presents our approach for the VaxMeme Shared Task @EEUCA 2026, which aims to classify vaccine-related memes into three distinct classes: Vaccine-critical, Neutral, and Pro-vaccine. Building upon MemeCLIP, we systematically enhance our framework via task-specific adaptation, lightweight cross-modal fusion, noise-aware training, LLM-assisted semantic augmentation, and inference-stage optimization, ultimately ensembling multiple complementary variants for final predictions. Our ensemble method achieves a Macro-F1 score of 0.8494 on the official test set, securing first place and demonstrating the critical efficacy of noise-aware training and late-stage ensembling for robust stance identification.

The path to fully autonomous web agents is currently hindered by a critical bottleneck: their limited ability to handle CAPTCHA. Existing agent benchmarks largely ignore this practical challenge, failing to evaluate an agent’s real-world capacity to solve CAPTCHA. To bridge this gap, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of real-world CAPTCHA distributions and introduce MirrorCAPTCHA, a benchmark annotated with Weighted Pass Rate and a newly proposed metric Completion Degree. MirrorCAPTCHA is designed to serve as a “mirror” that faithfully reflects the automation capabilities of agents in real scenarios. We filter 2095 websites from Common Crawl, identify the CAPTCHA deployed on these sites, and cluster them into 18 distinct categories using K-means algorithm. To ensure practicality, we extract a web subgraph from Common Crawl covering these websites and use random walks to simulate real-world CAPTCHA encounter frequencies, yielding a realistic measure of agents’ ability. Additionally, we develop a lightweight synthetic data pipeline to train Ovis2-Agent-CAPTCHA-8B, which significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art closed-source models on MirrorCAPTCHA, achieving a 9.4% higher average Weighted Pass Rate and a 2.13% higher average Completion Degree than the runner-up, Gemini-2.5-Pro.
