Mengshi Qi*, Wei Deng, Xianlin Zhang, Huadong Ma. Global-Local Monte Carlo Tree Search in Vision-Language Models for Text-to-3D Indoor Scene Generation. arXiv 2026 (Extension of our CVPR 2025). [PDF] [Code]
In this paper, we propose a novel Global-Local Monte Carlo Tree Search in Vision-Language Models for Text-to-3D Indoor Scene Generation.

Wei Deng, Xianlin Zhang, Mengshi Qi*. Active Exploring like a Pigeon: Reinforcing Spatial Reasoning via Agentic Vision-Language Models. ICML 2026. [PDF] [Code]
Inspired by pigeons’ building and exploiting cognitive maps for navigation, in this work we propose a novel agentic pipeline for spatial reasoning with VLMs.

Wei Deng, Mengshi Qi*, Huadong Ma. Global-Local Tree Search in VLMs for 3D Indoor Scene Generation. CVPR 2025. [PDF] [Code]
This paper considers 3D indoor scene generation as a planning problem subject to spatial and layout common sense constraints. To solve the problem with a VLM, we propose a new global-local tree search algorithm.
