Learning Visual Spatial Planning from Symbolic State via Modality-Gap-Aware Self-Distillation

Haocheng Luo, Jiahui Liu, Ruicheng Zhang +8

While Vision-Language Models excel at general multimodal understanding, they still struggle with visual spatial planning. We attribute this limitation to a perception--reasoning mo…
