RC provides stepwise supervision for reference-frame updates in multi-step spatial reasoning, addressing a supervision gap in single-step spatial question answering.
This repository provides approximately 1.6M RC annotations with 2β4 steps, constructed from verified single-step annotations in VSI-590K and SPAR. The paper uses 150K filtered and sampled two- and three-step examples for training.
