Contrastive vision-language models like CLIP have been found to lack spatial understanding capabilities. In this paper we discuss the possible causes of this phenomenon by analysing both datasets and embedding space. By focusing on simple left-right positional relations, we show that this behaviour is entirely predictable, even with large-scale datasets, demonstrate that these relations can be taught using synthetic data and show that this approach can generalise well to natural images - improving the performance on left-right relations on Visual Genome Relations.

Understanding Space Is Rocket Science -- Only Top Reasoning Models Can Solve Spatial Understanding Tasks
A new contrastive real-image benchmark shows most vision-language models fail spatial relation tasks, while chain-of-thought reasoning models approach human-level accuracy.

Metamorphic Testing for Pose Estimation Systems
MET-POSE uses metamorphic rules to test pose-estimation systems without ground-truth labels, and on Mediapipe Holistic it detects faults at similar or higher rates than classic labeled testing.
