Title: Visuospatial Perspective Taking in Multimodal Language Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.23510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As multimodal language models (MLMs) are increasingly used in social and collaborative settings, it is crucial to evaluate their perspective-taking abilities. Existing benchmarks largely rely on text-based vignettes or static scene understanding, leaving visuospatial perspective-taking (VPT) underexplored. We adapt two evaluation tasks from human studies: the Director Task, assessing VPT in a referential communication paradigm, and the Rotating F
