Does AI Understand Imaging? A Systematic Benchmark of Agentic AI for Computational Imaging Tasks

arXiv:2607. 07189v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) and agentic AI have shown strong performance on semantic visual tasks, but it remains unclear whether they can handle the physics and inverse problems that underlie computational imaging.

Imaging-101: Benchmarking LLM Coding Agents on Scientific Computational Imaging

arXiv:2607. 10789v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computational imaging, which recovers hidden signals from indirect, noisy measurements, underpins quantitative discovery across scientific disciplines, yet building a correct reconstruction pipeline demands deep domain expertise and remains laborious even for domain scientists.

Towards Autonomous and Auditable Medical Imaging Model Development

Large language model (LLM) agents are beginning to automate machine learning engineering (MLE) by coupling planning, code execution, debugging, and empirical feedback. Translating this capability to medical imaging remains difficult because each task imposes modality-specific experimentation and strict requirements for validation protocols and prediction artifacts.

Rethinking Image Processing for the Age of AI: A Problem-First Framework for Scientific Progress

The paper critiques the prevailing model-first approach in AI-driven image processing, arguing that researchers often prioritize benchmark performance over genuine understanding of real-world imaging problems. It proposes a problem-first framework that separates the physical imaging issue, solution principle, statistical estimator, and computational implementation, and introduces a six-stage workflow to guide research from problem formulation to evaluation. Case studies in super-resolution and low-light enhancement illustrate how benchmark datasets can misrepresent real tasks and emphasize the need for clearer standards on evidence, reproducibility, and uncertainty.

Can Coding Agents Build Robust Baselines? A Skill-Based Approach for Automating the Medical Imaging Model-Development Pipeline

The paper introduces an agentic AI Scientist workflow that automates the entire baseline development process for medical imaging by combining literature-guided reasoning, automated code generation, and hypothesis-driven experimentation. Evaluated on four public benchmarks covering segmentation, classification, and detection, the pipeline consistently improves validation performance, achieving competitive leaderboard results such as 6th place on both PUMA tracks and 31st on MILK10k. The approach also shows strong domain generalization on MIDOG25 across scanners, tumor types, and species, demonstrating that a skill-based, literature-guided agentic workflow can reduce engineering effort without task-specific redesign.

The Image Reconstruction Game: Drawing Common Ground Through Iterative Multimodal Dialogue

arXiv:2606. 01901v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the Image Reconstruction Game, a fully automated benchmark in which a vision-language model issues corrective instructions to an image generator across multiple turns, making accumulated common ground directly observable as a rendered image.
