StateSight is a new benchmark designed to isolate and evaluate the ability of vision‑language models to reconstruct latent spatial structure from a single image. It consists of three procedurally generated task families—cube‑net opposite‑face reasoning, occluded cube‑tower counting, and 4‑neighbor connected‑component counting—each with 300 deterministic prompts and exact‑match scoring. The benchmark also includes a companion dataset, StateSight‑Steps, with 900 image‑text examples and 3,600 intermediate visual states to aid analysis of reconstruction errors.
arXiv:2608. 15006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although visual reasoning is crucial for solving complex geometry tasks, existing vision-language models rely heavily on text-only reasoning.
arXiv:2605. 18160v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recent years, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress, primarily attributed to effective paradigms for integrating visual and textual information.
arXiv:2609.36219v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Perspective taking is a fundamental component of spatial intelligence, requiring models interpret spatial relations from a specified viewpoint, such as...
arXiv:2607. 00491v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Benchmarks for vision-language models (VLMs) mostly test observational spatial reasoning: models describe relations already visible in the input.
arXiv:2606. 07861v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent vision-language models (VLMs) excel at multimodal understanding and reasoning, yet their fine-grained visual perception remains underexplored.
arXiv:2610.01640v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) face a fixed-budget trade-off between processing more visual information for fine-grained perception and using a larger...
The paper introduces a framework that combines a Geometric Vision Parser and a Symbolic Solver to enable a Large Language Model to solve complex plane geometry problems. By translating diagrams into symbolic representations and performing formal deductions, the approach reduces hallucinations and produces interpretable, human-like solutions. Experiments on a new benchmark from 2025 Chinese Zhongkao exams show performance comparable to Gemini 2.5 Pro.
arXiv:2607. 26769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models increasingly use sketches, annotations, tools, and intermediate images during reasoning, but it remains unclear whether they truly rely on these visual states.
arXiv:2605.27310v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Cross-view spatial reasoning remains a weak spot for vision-language models (VLMs): they reason in language and discard the fine-grained geometry t...
arXiv:2605. 16713v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) achieve strong semantic recognition, yet remain brittle on elementary spatial relations such as left of, on, behind, and between.
