When 2D Tasks Meet 1D Serialization: On Serialization Friction in Structured Tasks
Researchers demonstrate that Large Language Models perform significantly better on 2D structured tasks when given visual representations rather than serialized text inputs. The study reveals that converting 2D data into 1D token sequences creates representational friction that degrades model performance, with gaps widening as task complexity increases.
