ES-Reasoning @ ICLR 2026
The First Workshop on Efficient Spatial Reasoning
The ES-Reasoning @ ICLR 2026 workshop focuses on efficient spatial reasoning in artificial intelligence, bringing together researchers to present and discuss novel methods for enabling machines to understand and reason about spatial relationships in visual and multimodal data. The workshop aims to advance the state-of-the-art in spatial understanding for applications in robotics, vision, and language models.
