New CoSPlan benchmark challenges vision-language models in visual planning tasks

Researchers have introduced CoSPlan, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the sequential planning capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs) in visual domains. Unlike text-based planning, CoSPlan requires models to execute a series of visual actions, detect erroneous steps, and correct them to reach a target scene. Despite employing advanced strategies like Chain-of-Thought and Scene Graphs, VLMs struggle with CoSPlan. To address this, the paper proposes Scene Graph Incremental updates (SGI), a training-free method that refines textual scene graphs for step-by-step reasoning, showing an average improvement of 4.4% on CoSPlan with generalization to PlanBench and VQA.

    CoSPlan: Corrective Sequential Planning via Scene Graph Incremental Updates

    arXiv:2512.10342v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision Language Models (VLMs) have shown promising planning capabilities, yet their success remains confined to the text domain, leaving visual decision-making relatively underexplored. Addressing this gap, we introduce Correcti…
