3ViewSense: Spatial and Mental Perspective Reasoning from Orthographic Views in Vision-Language Models

ICML 2026oral

Current Large Language Models have achieved Olympiad-level logic, yet Vision-Language Models paradoxically falter on elementary spatial tasks like block counting. This capability mismatch reveals a critical "spatial intelligence gap," where models fail to construct coherent 3D mental representations…

MathSmith: Towards Extremely Hard Mathematical Reasoning by Forging Synthetic Problems with a Reinforced Policy

AAAI 2026technical

Large language models have achieved substantial progress in mathematical reasoning, yet their advancement is limited by the scarcity of high-quality, high-difficulty training data. Existing synthesis methods largely rely on transforming human-written templates, limiting both diversity and scalabilit

PerceptionRubrics: Calibrating Multimodal Evaluation to Human Perception

ICML 2026poster

We introduce the Perception Rubric Benchmark (PRB), a rubric-based evaluation framework for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) that addresses the growing gap between benchmark scores and human-perceived quality. While standard perception metrics approach saturation, they produce compressed ran…
