This paper introduces the SIQA framework, which redefines scientific image quality assessment by distinguishing between perceptual alignment and scientific correctness, and demonstrates through a new benchmark that current multimodal models often achieve high scoring consistency with experts while lacking genuine scientific understanding.
This paper argues that RGB-only Multimodal Large Language Models fail to generalize across different cameras due to entangled perspective and object properties, and proposes a Camera-Aware MLLM framework that integrates camera intrinsics, augmented data, and 3D geometric priors to achieve robust, generalizable spatial intelligence.
This paper enhances the reliability of solar flare regression by applying conformal prediction to deep learning models, demonstrating that conformalized quantile regression outperforms alternative methods in achieving valid coverage rates and favorable interval lengths for space weather forecasting.
