Geo-Expert: Towards Expert-Level Geological Reasoning via Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2605. 24844v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While general-purpose Large Language Models (LLMs) applied to Geology often hallucinate when reasoning about subsurface structures and deep-time evolution, current AI in Earth sciences predominantly targets surface remote sensing and GIS.

Exploring the Role of LLMs in HPC Programming: A Survey

The survey reviews how Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used in High‑Performance Computing (HPC) programming, covering code generation, parallelization, frameworks, evaluation, and broader challenges. It finds that general‑purpose LLMs perform adequately on serial and OpenMP‑style tasks but struggle with distributed MPI workloads, while domain‑specialized models achieve higher accuracy yet are limited in scope and evaluation. The authors argue that LLMs will not replace HPC experts soon but can act as powerful collaborators, provided richer datasets, integration with performance tools, rigorous evaluation, and governance are developed.

A Generative-AI Modeling Framework for Explainable Decision Support in Complex Geosteering Scenarios

The paper presents a real‑time, AI‑driven geosteering workflow that combines Generative Adversarial Networks for geological parameterization, ensemble methods for model updating, and dynamic programming optimization for decision support during directional drilling. The framework uses offline GAN training to generate realistic geology realizations and a Forward Neural Network to predict Logging‑While‑Drilling tool responses, enabling progressive reduction of subsurface uncertainty around the drilling bit. Tested on a low‑net‑to‑gross drilling scenario, the prototype delivers steering recommendations and automatically maps formation boundaries along the well path.

SCICONVBENCH: Benchmarking LLMs on Multi-Turn Clarification for Task Formulation in Computational Science

SCICONVBENCH is a benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on multi‑turn clarification tasks in computational science. It focuses on two key abilities: eliciting missing information (disambiguation) and resolving contradictory requests (inconsistency resolution) across four domains—fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, materials science, and partial differential equations. The benchmark pairs a structured task ontology with a rubric‑based evaluation framework, measuring LLM performance in clarification behavior, conversational grounding, and final‑specification fidelity, and reveals that even top models only resolve about 52.7% of disambiguation cases in fluid mechanics while often making ungrounded assumptions.
