A decoupled question-conditioned image editor trained via supervised imitation then VLM-reward enhancement improves MLLM visual reasoning Pass@1 by 4.6-5.5 points across models and tasks.
The Token Replacement Test shows VLMs keep most accuracy gains even after corrupting or replacing continuous thought token content, indicating the tokens are not used as information bottlenecks.
Proposes Spatial Narrative Score (SNS) evaluation for VLMs' camera motion understanding and introduces CaMo model achieving consistent performance on SNS and direct QA.
MLLMs display a large perception-reasoning gap on perspective-conditioned spatial reasoning tasks from omnidirectional images, with sharp accuracy drops on advanced tasks like egocentric rotation, though partial gains are possible via RL reward shaping.
ViSRA boosts MLLM 3D spatial reasoning performance by up to 28.9% on unseen tasks via a plug-and-play video-based agent that extracts explicit spatial cues from expert models without any post-training.
SiMing-Bench shows current MLLMs have weak agreement with physicians on procedural correctness in clinical videos, with intermediate step judgments remaining poor even when overall scores look acceptable.
Backward token warping in ViT-based MLLMs enables reliable reasoning from nearby viewpoints by preserving semantic coherence better than pixel-wise warping or fine-tuning baselines.
SpatialMosaic introduces a 2M-pair multi-view QA dataset and 1M-pair benchmark for MLLMs on spatial reasoning under partial visibility, plus a hybrid baseline that integrates 3D reconstruction models as geometry encoders.
SpatialBench creates a five-level framework and 15-task benchmark to measure hierarchical spatial reasoning in MLLMs, finding strong basic perception but weak symbolic reasoning, causal inference, and planning.
GeoWeaver performs token-adaptive geometric grounding on visual tokens from a multi-level bank prior to language modeling to support better spatio-temporal reasoning.
LAST augments MLLMs with a tool-abstraction sandbox and three-stage training to deliver around 20% gains on spatial reasoning tasks, outperforming closed-source models.
GUIDE unrolls multi-granularity geometric priors layer-wise into early MLLM layers with gating to improve spatial reasoning and perception.
SAGE adds duality consistency as an auxiliary reward in GRPO training with a dynamic operation pool to improve spatial reasoning robustness and generalization in VLMs.
SenseNova-U1 presents native unified multimodal models that match top understanding VLMs while delivering strong performance in image generation, infographics, and interleaved tasks via the NEO-unify architecture.
SpatialImaginer integrates visual imagination with textual chain-of-thought to improve spatial reasoning robustness in multimodal large language models.
A survey of physical AI that distinguishes theoretical physics reasoning from applied understanding and synthesizes advances in symbolic reasoning, embodied systems, and generative models to advocate for physics-grounded world models.
