REVERSE: Reinforcing Evidence Verification and Search for Agentic Image geo-localization
Yong Li, Furong Jia, Dacheng Yin +4
Image geo-localization aims to determine where a photograph was taken, a task that often requires more than recognizing visible landmarks. Human experts typically solve it through…
SpotAgent: Grounding Visual Geo-localization in Large Vision-Language Models through Agentic Reasoning
Furong Jia, Ling Dai, Wenjin Deng +4
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated strong reasoning capabilities in geo-localization, yet they often struggle in real-world scenarios where visual cues are spar…
Step-DeepResearch Technical Report
Chen Hu, Haikuo Du, Heng Wang +64
As LLMs shift toward autonomous agents, Deep Research has emerged as a pivotal metric. However, existing academic benchmarks like BrowseComp often fail to meet real-world demands f…
Towards Interpretable Geo-localization: a Concept-Aware Global Image-GPS Alignment Framework
Furong Jia, Lanxin Liu, Ce Hou +3
Worldwide geo-localization involves determining the exact geographic location of images captured globally, typically guided by geographic cues such as climate, landmarks, and archi…
Percolation Transition of K-Destinations Reveals Universal Backbone of Urban Mobility Networks
Weiyu Zhang, Furong Jia, Jianying Wang +2
Cities are held together by a small subset of recurrent origin--destination ties, but extracting this backbone from noisy mobility data remains difficult, and most models still pri…
