MindEdit-Bench: Benchmarking Object-Level Counterfactual Spatial Reasoning in VLMs from In-the-Wild Photos
Leyuan Yu, Xiao Tang, Minghao Liu, Xinyuan Li, Xiaokai Bai, Sheng Zhou, et al.
Benchmarks for vision-language models (VLMs) mostly test observational spatial reasoning: models describe relations already visible in the input. Existing what-if tasks typically vary the observer while keeping the scene fixed. Can VLMs instead predict the consequences of hypothe…
