TerraBench: Can Agents Reason Over Heterogeneous Earth-System Data?
Dat Tien Nguyen, Thao Nguyen, Fadillah Adamsyah Maani +5
Climate and environmental decision-making increasingly requires reasoning across heterogeneous inputs, including gridded physical data, satellite imagery, geospatial context, and s…
PolyAlign: Conditional Human-Distribution Alignment
L. D. M. S. Sai Teja, Ufaq Khan, Sathira Silva +2
Post-training methods such as supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and preference optimization typically align language models toward a single global assistant behavior. While effective fo…
Objects Before Words: Object-First Inductive Biases for Grounding Language in Child-View Video
Sathira Silva, Abrham Kahsay Gebreselasie, Muhammad Umer Sheikh +3
Learning grounded word meaning from natural experience requires resolving two ambiguities in infant-view recordings: when the named referent appears and where it is in a cluttered…
MMClima: A Framework for Multimodal Climate Science Data and Evaluation
Muhammad Umer Sheikh, Hassan Abid, Khawar Shehzad +2
Climate change research increasingly requires AI systems that reason across text, dynamic visual content, and scientific figures, yet existing climate QA benchmarks are small, most…
Agentic AI for Remote Sensing: Technical Challenges and Research Directions
Muhammad Akhtar Munir, Muhammad Umer Sheikh, Akashah Shabbir +5
Earth Observation (EO) is moving beyond static prediction toward multi-step analytical workflows that require coordinated reasoning over data, tools, and geospatial state. While fo…
ThinkGeo: Evaluating Tool-Augmented Agents for Remote Sensing Tasks
Akashah Shabbir, Muhammad Akhtar Munir, Akshay Dudhane +6
Recent progress in large language models (LLMs) has enabled tool-augmented agents capable of solving complex real-world tasks through step-by-step reasoning. However, existing eval…
