MJev-Spatial: System One Spatial Intelligence via Native Attention Matching

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

MJev-Spatial is a multimodal decision model that unifies spatial intelligence tasks—choice, numerical, and point prediction—into a single classification framework. It treats each candidate as a class, scoring them with pretrained query and key projections without adding parameters, and achieves predictions in a single forward pass with no answer tokens. Trained on 12.3 M question‑answer pairs, it outperforms eight baseline models, ranks first on seven of twelve benchmarks, and runs 2.5× faster than the fastest autoregressive baseline.

Spatial-OPSD: Self-Improving Spatial Reasoning via Label-Free Self-Distillation

Spatial-OPSD is a label‑free self‑improvement framework for vision‑language models that leverages spatial priors such as depth, 3D relations, and camera geometry to provide dense token‑level supervision. During training, a privileged teacher uses these priors while the student learns from only the original visual‑language input, and a recursive round‑wise scheme allows repeated self‑improvement without moving the teacher. Across four VLM families, one round of Spatial‑OPSD improves the five‑benchmark average, and three rounds push a strong spatially specialized model to the open‑source frontier, achieving the highest average among open models and best results on three of five spatial reasoning benchmarks.
