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.
GeoThinker enables active, task-conditioned geometry integration in MLLMs via spatial-grounded fusion and importance gating, reaching 72.6 on VSI-Bench.
Audit of four VideoQA benchmarks reveals text-only shortcuts in VLMs; new diagnostics Blind Gap, Visual Gain, and Shortcut Score quantify and filter visual dependence.
S-Agent augments VLMs with spatial tools, scene and agent memory for evidence accumulation on multi-view and video tasks, and produces an 8B model via SFT on its own trajectories that beats same-scale baselines.
ReKey introduces a live benchmark protocol that regenerates visual keys in images to produce contamination-resilient VQA evaluations, showing 9.5-18.8 point higher scores on original items across eight VLMs.
IPT supervision improves spatial reasoning in VLMs on perspective taking, path tracing, and multiview counting tasks, often outperforming textual chain-of-thought while remaining consistent with observed inputs.
GASP injects geometric priors into VLMs via a deep-supervised correspondence head trained on video point correspondences and depth consistency, raising internal matching accuracy and delivering gains on spatial benchmarks without any 3D VQA data.
Adding per-frame camera-pose supervision to a video MLLM improves spatial and general video question answering by 2–6% and yields SOTA streaming pose estimates on ScanNet.
Unlabeled web videos processed by designed data engines generate effective training data that yields strong zero-shot and finetuned performance on 3D detection, segmentation, VQA, and navigation.
SFI-Bench shows current multimodal LLMs struggle to integrate spatial memory with functional reasoning and external knowledge in video tasks.
