Spatial-Interactor: Learning Spatial Reasoning through Interaction with the Observable Physical World
摘要
arXiv:2609.23038v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial reasoning is essential for vision-language models (VLMs) to understand and act in the physical world. Reasoning in dynamic environments requires VLMs to perceive local state transitions caused by object motion and viewpoint changes and integrate them over long trajectories to maintain an updated spatial state, yet existing VLMs remain limited in both capabilities. Current spatial training primarily focuses on static questions about object attributes and spatial relations, providing limited direct supervision for state transitions; in contrast, interaction trajectories naturally connect a preceding observation, an action, and a subsequent observation, offering direct supervision for local state transitions, while complete trajectories reveal dependencies among consecutive transitions. We therefore introduce Spatial-Interactor, a framework that trains VLMs to model physical-world state transitions through interaction, organizing this learning process into a three-level curriculum covering L1 passive world-state transitions, L2 active self-state transitions, and L3 long-horizon interaction trajectories. Accordingly, we construct the Learning from Spatial Interaction dataset (LSI-108K) from simulated and real interaction trajectories, with tasks aligned with the objective of each level. Our two-stage training strategy applies Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) to L1 and L2 for local transition modeling, and On-Policy Distillation
