Is Visual Prompting All You Need? Studying VLM Spatial Reasoning under Progressive Visual Scaffolds

Lars Benedikt Kaesberg, Tianyu Yang, Florian Valentin Wunderlich +4

Vision-language models (VLMs) have advanced rapidly in multimodal reasoning, yet recent work shows that their failures often reflect an interaction between visual grounding and dow…

SPaRC: A Spatial Pathfinding Reasoning Challenge

Lars Benedikt Kaesberg, Jan Philip Wahle, Terry Ruas +1

Existing reasoning datasets saturate and fail to test abstract, multi-step problems, especially pathfinding and complex rule constraint satisfaction. We introduce SPaRC (Spatial Pa…

Stay Focused: Problem Drift in Multi-Agent Debate

Jonas Becker, Lars Benedikt Kaesberg, Andreas Stephan +3

Multi-agent debate - multiple instances of large language models discussing problems in turn-based interaction - has shown promise for solving knowledge and reasoning tasks. Howeve…
