Title: Beyond Recognition: Evaluating Visual Perspective Taking in Vision Language Models
Abstract:
arXiv:2505.03821v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We investigate the ability of Vision Language Models (VLMs) to perform visual perspective taking using a new set of visual tasks inspired by established human tests. Our approach leverages carefully controlled scenes in which a single humanoid minifigure is paired with a single object. By systematically varying spatial configurations -- such as object position relative to the minifigure and the minifigure's orientation -- and using both b
