Grounded reasoning in AI: useful for some tasks, but not all

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of grounded reasoning in visual AI models, a technique where models identify specific locations in images to aid their thinking process. The study found that while grounded reasoning can improve performance on tasks like counting, it offers no significant advantage over other methods for many spatial reasoning and perception benchmarks. The researchers propose that grounded reasoning is most beneficial for tasks requiring the identification of "undescribable references" – visual concepts difficult to articulate in language – and introduce a new benchmark, BrickVision, to test this capability.
