| Challenge: | Currently, vision-language models excel in many downstream tasks but struggle with spatial reasoning, which is crucial for navigation and interaction with physical environments. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that generates synthetic data to provide targeted supervision for VLMs across these basic spatial capabilities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework disentangles 2D spatial reasoning into three core components: direction comprehension, distance estimation, and localization. |

| Challenge: | High-quality, diverse data are vital for large language models (LLMs) but remain scarce and costly. |
| Approach: | They define the first HSS domain system covering 14 mainstream fields and introduce HSS-Synth. |
| Outcome: | the proposed pipeline outperforms 14 leading baselines on 16 benchmarks. |

| Challenge: | Existing urban itinerary planning studies focus on traditional tourism, but they lack the precision and accuracy needed to create a personalized itinerary. |
| Approach: | They propose an open-domain urban itinerary planning system that integrates spatial optimization with large language models to provide customized urban itineraries based on user needs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can generate personalized urban itineraries based on user needs and scale with existing methods. |
