Exploring Image-Text Alignment for Radio Galaxy Morphologies
Erica Lastufka, Mariia Drozdova, Svyatoslav Volosynovskiy
We investigate whether specially constructed text captions can capture the same morphological information as radio galaxy images. Using the MiraBest dataset, we generate captions w…
Radio Astronomy in the Era of Vision-Language Models: Prompt Sensitivity and Adaptation
Mariia Drozdova, Erica Lastufka, Vitaliy Kinakh +3
Vision-Language Models (VLMs), such as recent Qwen and Gemini models, are positioned as general-purpose AI systems capable of reasoning across domains. Yet their capabilities in sc…
Bridging the Gap: Examining Vision Foundation Models for Optical and Radio Astronomy Applications
E. Lastufka, O. Bait, M. Drozdova +7
Vision foundation models, which have demonstrated significant potential in many multimedia applications, are often underutilized in the natural sciences. This is primarily due to m…
Semi-Supervised Fine-Tuning of Vision Foundation Models with Content-Style Decomposition
Mariia Drozdova, Vitaliy Kinakh, Yury Belousov +2
In this paper, we present a semi-supervised fine-tuning approach designed to improve the performance of pre-trained foundation models on downstream tasks with limited labeled data.…
