Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have made remarkable progress across visual perception tasks, yet spatial reasoning remains a persistent weakness, especially for questions that require reasoning over visual space. Recent spatial-reasoning methods incorporate generated grounding, where models predict bounding boxes …
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) commonly perform spatial reasoning through chain-of-thought (CoT), encoding intermediate reasoning as autoregressive sequences of discrete language tokens. Such hard thinking requires committing to a single token at each step, even when the correct spatial interpretation remains unc …
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) are commonly trained with reinforcement learning (RL) to improve their generation of chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning before producing final answers. However, RL rewards are typically assigned based on final answers, providing little or no direct supervision over intermediate reasoning. Th …
