Why Do Multimodal LLMs (MLLM) Struggle with Spatial Understanding? This research shows that MLLMs’ spatial struggles aren’t from data scarcity, but from architecture. Spatial ability relies on the vision encoder’s positional cues, so a redesign like prompt targeting is needed.

Here are my 3 favorite Machine Learning books. These books will teach you the following: 1. The Machine Learning workflow 2. ML algorithms and techniques 3. Deep Learning Tools (Keras, PyTorch, and Scikit-Learn) If you are going to buy one book, make it one of these.
