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.
arXiv:2503. 19990v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many real-world applications of spatial intelligence, such as robotic control, autonomous driving, and automated assembly, require spatial reasoning across multiple sequential steps.
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:2602. 22284v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advancements in deep learning have actively addressed complex challenges within the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) domain.
arXiv:2607. 12678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) floor plan drawings contain both graphical primitives and textual annotations, which provide complementary geometric and semantic cues for intelligent design understanding.
Recent advances in multimodal generative models have enabled instruction-based image generation to move beyond semantic manipulation to knowledge-driven visual reasoning. However, these methods focus on explicit commonsense reasoning, shallow causal understanding, and direct knowledge recall, failing at knowledge-intensive generation.
arXiv:2602. 02465v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Frontier models are transitioning from multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that merely ingest visual information to unified multimodal models (UMMs) capable of native interleaved generation.
