Why Is Spatial Reasoning Hard for VLMs? An Attention Mechanism Perspective on Focus Areas
Shiqi Chen, Tongyao Zhu, Ruochen Zhou +7
Large Vision Language Models (VLMs) have long struggled with spatial reasoning tasks. Surprisingly, even simple spatial reasoning tasks, such as recognizing "under" or "behind" rel…
