Abstract
Given the success of the deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) in applications of visual recognition and classification, it would be tantalizing to test if DCNNs can also learn spatial concepts, such as straightness, convexity, left/right, front/back, relative size, aspect ratio, polygons, etc., from varied visual examples of these concepts that are simple and yet vital for spatial reasoning. Much to our dismay, extensive experiments of the type of cognitive psychology demonstrate that the data-driven deep learning (DL) cannot see through superficial variations in visual representations and grasp the spatial concept in abstraction. The root cause of failure turns out to be the learning methodology, not the computational model of the neural network itself. By incorporating task-specific convolutional kernels, we are able to construct DCNNs for spatial cognition tasks that can generalize to input images not drawn from the same distribution of the training set. This work raises a precaution that without manually-incorporated priors or features DCCNs may fail spatial cognitive tasks at rudimentary level.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
