There have been many recent improvements in the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform complex tasks and answer domain-specific questions through techniques like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). However, reasoning abilities of LLMs, including spatial reasoning abilities, are still lacking.
arXiv:2511. 02627v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce DecompSR, decomposed spatial reasoning, a large benchmark dataset (over 5m datapoints) and generation framework designed to analyse compositional spatial reasoning ability.
arXiv:2606. 04381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent large language models (LLMs) often appear to exhibit spatial reasoning ability; however, this capability is largely \emph{symbolic}, arising from pattern matching over spatial language rather than true \emph{geometric} reasoning over space.
Recent large language models (LLMs) often appear to exhibit spatial reasoning ability; however, this capability is largely \emph{symbolic}, arising from pattern matching over spatial language rather than true \emph{geometric} reasoning over space. Because LLMs operate on discrete tokens, they lack native support for continuous spatial representations, explicit geometric computation, and structured spatial operators.

arXiv:2608. 07411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the context of geodata, existing Large Language Models have often been studied in a homogeneous setting, which has considerably limited insights into their generalization capabilities.

arXiv:2608. 07353v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding concepts is fundamental to generalization.
The paper introduces a network‑based spatial context retrieval pipeline that uses pedestrian street networks and open data (OpenStreetMap, GHS‑POP) to generate compact spatial briefs for open‑weight large language models. It then builds a faithfulness benchmark that labels each model claim by its source—whether grounded in the brief or drawn from training knowledge—and tests models against planted false premises across multiple cities and model configurations. The study finds that model family and generation influence resistance to false premises more than model size, revealing dimensions of spatial reasoning not captured by traditional correctness metrics.
arXiv:2607. 14115v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inspired by how humans communicate spatial information, language-guided geo-localization has gained significant traction for its intuitive and practical value.
