Abstract
Dynamic spatial reasoning is essential for connecting visual intelligence to thephysical world, yet remains challenging for vision-language models (VLMs), which must preserve scene state while tracking how spatial relations evolve over time. Meanwhile, video generation models (VGMs), trained to synthesize temporally coherent world dynamics, offer a rich source of spatiotemporal representations. We present GenDSR, a framework that transfers intermediate representations from VGM into VLM for dynamic spatial reasoning. Rather than treating a VGM feature as a monolithic prior, GenDSR constructs two complementary branches: a raw branch preserving holistic generative context and a delta branch emphasizing temporal variation. Task-conditioned tokenwise gates then fuse both signals and inject the result into the native visual representation. On DSR-Bench, GenDSR achieves 67.2%, surpassing the previous best result and establishing a new state of the art.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.
