SciIR-Bench

General AIMultimodal PerceptionMAIR-Lab-HUST

SciIR-Bench evaluates text-to-image models on scientific image reasoning across three semiotic-aligned tracks: entity structure, scientific process, and scientific law. It uses an atomic checklist to convert scientific accuracy into verifiable fine-grained questions.

Why it matters

Current text-to-image models lack rigorous evaluation for scientific imagery, which requires logical reasoning beyond visual fidelity. SciIR-Bench provides a structured protocol to measure such capabilities, aiding selection and development of models for scientific visualization tasks.

Motivation

While Text-to-Image (T2I) models have shown remarkable success in generating photorealistic visual content, they still struggle with the rigorous semantic alignment and logical reasoning required for scientific imagery.
