arXiv:2608. 15736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation models (FMs) increasingly support multimodal and geospatial reasoning, yet it remains unclear whether cartographic principles designed for human perception are equally effective for machines.
arXiv:2607. 17999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial understanding is crucial for foundation models (FMs), and maps have long helped humans organize and reason about geographic information.
Spatial understanding is crucial for foundation models (FMs), and maps have long helped humans organize and reason about geographic information. This study examines whether choropleth maps remain useful for machine spatial understanding when models can directly process structured geodata.
arXiv:2510. 04514v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent multimodal LLMs have shown promise in chart-based visual question answering, but their performance declines sharply on unannotated charts-those requiring precise visual interpretation rather than relying on textual shortcuts.
arXiv:2602. 18600v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Systematically evaluating Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) is essential for advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
arXiv:2511. 17731v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has proven remarkably effective for eliciting complex reasoning in large language models (LLMs).
arXiv:2605. 09883v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As current Multimodal Large Language Models rapidly saturate canonical visual reasoning benchmarks, a key question emerges: do these strong scores genuinely reflect robust visual understanding?
arXiv:2608. 08077v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Theory of Space framework (ToS) assesses the spatial understanding of curiosity-driven Vision-Language Models (VLMs) under partial observability.
arXiv:2608. 10954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate impressive performance in benign scenarios, their cognitive reliability deteriorates significantly in complex scenes under adverse conditions.
arXiv:2607. 13647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Do vision models see colors the way humans do?
arXiv:2606. 12830v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong multimodal understanding, they remain limited in spatial reasoning tasks that require active evidence acquisition and multi-step visual interaction.
arXiv:2607. 14756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This research investigates the potential of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to infer building typologies: Construction, Current Use, and Storeys from Google Street View (GSV) images.
arXiv:2508. 17298v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Compositional visual reasoning has emerged as a key research frontier in multimodal AI, aiming to endow machines with the human-like ability to decompose visual scenes, ground intermediate concepts, and perform multi-step logical inference.
