Title: SpatialThinker: Reinforcing Scene Graph-Grounded Spatial Reasoning via Dense Rewards

Abstract:
arXiv:2511.07403v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in vision-language tasks, but continue to struggle with spatial reasoning. Existing spatial MLLMs rely on large-scale datasets, explicit 3D inputs, architecture-specific modifications, or sparse Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods that provide insufficient guidance for spatially-grounded reasoning. We introduce SpatialThinker. To our knowledge, it is the first MLLM
