arXiv:2608. 07353v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding concepts is fundamental to generalization.
arXiv:2608. 07411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the context of geodata, existing Large Language Models have often been studied in a homogeneous setting, which has considerably limited insights into their generalization capabilities.

Geographic Information System (GIS) professionals rely on multi-step spatial analysis workflows to support decision-making in urban planning, disaster response, and environmental monitoring. The process is tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone.
arXiv:2607. 06482v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current benchmarks for evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) in data analysis often fail to reflect real-world settings.
GTPred is a new benchmark for geo‑temporal prediction that evaluates multi‑modal large language models (MLLMs) on 370 images taken across 120 years worldwide. It assesses predictions by matching both the year and a hierarchical location sequence, and includes annotated reasoning chains to test intermediate reasoning. Experiments on 15 MLLMs show that while visual perception is strong, models still lack world knowledge and geo‑temporal reasoning, and that adding temporal data improves location inference.
Open-vocabulary Earth observation (EO) aims to localize geospatial concepts specified in natural language rather than a fixed label set. Existing benchmarks, however, usually cover narrow category vocabularies or limited query forms.
arXiv:2606. 10460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent large language models (LLMs) have shown rapid progress in reading-based question answering (QA), where evidence is explicitly provided or can be trivially retrieved.

arXiv:2607. 02387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: NASA and its data centers hold thousands of geoscience datasets and tools like Worldview, Giovanni, the Science Discovery Engine, and Harmony.
There have been many recent improvements in the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform complex tasks and answer domain-specific questions through techniques like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). However, reasoning abilities of LLMs, including spatial reasoning abilities, are still lacking.
