GTPred: Benchmarking MLLMs for Interpretable Geo-localization and Time-of-capture Prediction
GTPred is a new benchmark for geo‑temporal prediction that evaluates multi‑modal large language models (MLLMs) on 370 images taken across 120 years worldwide. It assesses predictions by matching both the year and a hierarchical location sequence, and includes annotated reasoning chains to test intermediate reasoning. Experiments on 15 MLLMs show that while visual perception is strong, models still lack world knowledge and geo‑temporal reasoning, and that adding temporal data improves location inference.

S$^3$Geo: Structure-Semantic Synergistic Learning for Cross-View Geo-Localization
S$^3$Geo introduces a structure‑semantic synergistic learning framework for cross‑view geo‑localization, combining a Decoupled Query Pooling module to capture local structural patterns, an optimal‑transport based contrastive learning scheme for soft cross‑view correspondences, and a Semantic Knowledge Distillation strategy from a frozen CLIP teacher to embed semantic priors. The method jointly models fine‑grained structural and semantic information, enabling robust matching between images from vastly different viewpoints such as drone and satellite views. Experiments on University‑1652 and SUES‑200 datasets show that S$^3$Geo outperforms state‑of‑the‑art approaches without increasing inference complexity.

GeoBridge: Decoupled Semantic Conditioning for Generative Image Geolocalization
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced image geolocalization mainly by improving how they reason about geographic cues. How that reasoning isdecoded into coordinates, however, has lagged behind.
