arXiv:2603. 04976v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards ( RLVR ) has emerged as a transformative paradigm for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models ( LLMs), yet its potential in 3D scene understanding remains under-explored.

arXiv:2607. 17243v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-view spatial reasoning requires vision-language models to compare visual evidence across images, align object correspondences, and infer spatial relations over long visual contexts, a setting where chain-of-thought reasoning tends to grow verbose without becoming more accurate.

arXiv:2601. 19099v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision--language models (VLMs) achieve strong performance on many multimodal benchmarks but remain brittle on spatial reasoning tasks that require aligning abstract overhead representations with egocentric views.
