DriveSpatial benchmark shows the best of 15 VLMs trails humans by 28.4 points on spatiotemporal driving tasks, with cognitive scene construction as the main failure mode.
VGenST-Bench is a new video benchmark for MLLM spatio-temporal reasoning built via generative synthesis, a multi-agent pipeline with human oversight, a 3x2x2 taxonomy, and hierarchical tasks separating perception from reasoning.
VLMs fail to ground numerical values in spatial perception on new bidirectional tasks, relying on shallow cues instead of coordinate-aware representations.
VLMs achieve 53-97% on volumetric rearrangement planning but only 6-45% on occlusion and under 7% on reflections in a new 3,034-sample benchmark, with white-box analysis localizing the failure to visual-token merger in Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking.
Spatial Prediction pretext task learns spatial structure in self-supervised learning by regressing relative position and scale between image views, yielding more structured representations and better generalization.
Slot-MLLM introduces a slot-attention-based object-centric visual tokenizer with Q-Former encoder, diffusion decoder, and residual vector quantization for improved local visual comprehension and generation in multimodal LLMs.
LENS is a new multi-level benchmark dataset for evaluating MLLMs on perception-to-reasoning tasks using the same images across all levels with recent social media content.
