Can LLMs fully understand geologic maps?
PEACE: Empowering Geologic Map Holistic Understanding with MLLMs
January 13, 2025
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.06184This paper introduces PEACE, a framework leveraging Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) for enhanced geological map understanding. It includes GeoMap-Bench, a new benchmark for evaluating MLLM performance on geological map tasks, and GeoMap-Agent, a multi-agent system designed for these tasks. GeoMap-Agent uses a hierarchical approach to information extraction (HIE), domain knowledge injection from specialized AI expert agents (DKI – geologist, geographer, seismologist), and prompt engineering (PEQA) to improve MLLM performance. Key multi-agent aspects include the collaborative expert group and scalable tool pool, offering a model for other complex scientific visualization tasks.
