Title: InPhyRe Discovers: Large Multimodal Models Struggle in Inductive Physical Reasoning
Abstract:
arXiv:2509.12263v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large multimodal models (LMMs) encode physical laws observed during training, such as momentum conservation, as parametric knowledge. It allows LMMs to answer physical reasoning queries, such as the outcome of a potential collision event from visual input. However, since parametric knowledge includes only the physical laws seen during training, it is insufficient for reasoning in inference scenarios that follow physical laws unseen during train
