GaugeVLM: Structuring Spatial Supervision with Measured Geometric Interventions
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.38285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) can contradict themselves across views of the same spatial relation and fail to respond when that relation changes. Addressing these failures requires supervision that captures error magnitude and geometric dependencies across observations, both of which remain implicit in training on individual answers or ordinal preferences. Therefore, we introduce GaugeVLM, which makes this structure explicit through controlled object and camera interventions in explicit 3D scenes, producing linked observations with measured dif
