ERGeoBench:A Comprehensive Benchmark for Embodied Reasoning and Geo-localization in Multimodal Large Language Models

arXiv:2605.31251v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential as embodied agents, yet embodied geo-localization remains underexplored due to the lack of fine-grained evaluation. We introduce ERGeoBench, a diagnostic benchmark for vision-driven embodied geo-localization. ERGeoBench evaluates models under three progressive settings -- single-view, panorama-view, and embodied-view -- where agents may actively acquire observations through...

Global Cross-Modal Geo-Localization: A Million-Scale Dataset and a Physical Consistency Learning Framework

arXiv:2603.08491v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Cross-modal Geo-localization (CMGL) matches ground-level text descriptions with geo-tagged aerial imagery, which is crucial for pedestrian navigation and emergency response. However, existing studies are constrained by narrow geographic coverage and simplistic scene diversity, failing to reflect the immense spatial heterogeneity of global architectural styles and topographic features. To bridge this gap and facilitate universal positioning,...

GEO-Bench: Benchmarking Ranking Manipulation in Generative Engine Optimization

Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly rank products, documents, and recommendations for user queries, which makes manipulating these rankings a growing concern for fairness and information integrity. Research on generative engine optimization (GEO) has produced many manipulation methods, but each is evaluated on its own dataset with its own metrics, so their relative strength and detectability stay unclear.

Why a Neo Geo port of Doom is functionally impossible

Here at Ars, we've taken pleasure in reporting on versions of Doom that run on everything from wireless earbuds and printers to Windows' notepad.exe and even inside Doom itself. So when we hear that a piece of game-playing hardware from the '90s (or later) can't run Doom, our ears perk up. That hardware is the Neo Geo, an early '90s game console that players of a certain age will remember for its eye-watering launch price and its relatively strong pixel-pushing power for the time.

Channel Chart Location Privacy Based on Geo-Indistinguishability

Announce Type: new Abstract: Channel charting enables location-based services (LBSs) without requiring explicit position information by using pseudo-locations from the channel chart. While this property implies inherent privacy advantages, it does not provide formal privacy guarantees. In this work, we address location privacy in channel charting referred to as chart location indistinguishability (CLI), which extends geo-indistinguishability (GI) to channel charting representations.

When Vision Misleads, Let Location Speak: A Worldwide Image Geo-Localization Method via Location Attention Mechanism and Large Multimodal Models

arXiv:2606.08918v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Worldwide image geo-localization aims to determine the capture location of an image on a global scale. Existing methods often mislocalize images by matching them to visually similar scenes from different geographic regions, which limits reliability in practical applications. To address this issue, we propose TransGeoCLIP, a novel retrieval-based framework that integrates a location attention mechanism and large multimodal models (LMMs).

A former GEO Group executive now runs ICE. The company's government ties run deep

ICE's new acting director started this week. He's a former executive with GEO Group, the prison contractor that has seen huge financial gains as the Trump administration ramps up immigrant detentions.

FlatVPR: Plug-and-play Geo-linear Residual Adapter for Geometric Rectification of Foundation Model Feature Manifolds

Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes ``FlatVPR,'' a novel geometric rectification paradigm that effectively bridges the trade-off between map lightweightness and localization accuracy in visual place recognition (VPR) by enforcing a feature manifold structure where any descriptor between two adjacent anchors $\mathbf{z}_A$ and $\mathbf{z}_B$ can be accurately reconstructed via linear interpolation $\hat{\mathbf{z}}_{pseudo} = (1-t)\mathbf{z}_A + t\mathbf{z}_B$, where $t \in...

Meridian: Metric-Semantic Primitive Matching for Cross-View Geo-Localization Beyond Urban Environments

Announce Type: new Abstract: Successful robot automation requires accurate global localization to support repeatability, task planning, goal specification, and safe operation. However, reliable localization in GNSS-denied environments remains an open problem. Overhead aerial imagery offers a promising solution, but existing approaches primarily target structured urban environments and have been rarely demonstrated in unstructured natural terrain.
