Orientation information is recoverable from MLLM visual encoder embeddings via linear regression, contradicting the hypothesis that failures originate in the encoders.
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.
SCP defines a new benchmark task for predicting spatial causal outcomes beyond direct observation and shows that 23 leading models lag far behind humans on it.
Semantic Generative Tuning uses image segmentation as a generative proxy to align misaligned representation spaces in unified multimodal models and improve both perception and generative layout fidelity.
SpaceMind++ adds an explicit voxelized allocentric cognitive map and coordinate-guided fusion to video MLLMs, claiming SOTA on VSI-Bench and improved out-of-distribution generalization on three other 3D benchmarks.
Distilling view-consistent future views and action-outcome supervision from a generative world model into a VLM via two-stage post-training improves dynamic spatial reasoning on SAT-Real, VSI-Bench and similar benchmarks while avoiding test-time world-model cost.
