This paper proposes a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework for scientific image quality assessment, designed to simultaneously address both the understanding track (SIQA-U) and the scoring t...
Scientific images are the core elements of presenting experimental conclusions, elaborating system architecture, and supporting comparative arguments in scientific papers. However, existing image quality assessment (IQA) methods are predominantly designed for natural photographs or AI-generated content, which cannot be directly applied to scientific papers.

MiRAGE is a new evaluation framework for retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) that handles multimodal sources such as audiovisual media. It uses a claim‑centric approach with two metrics: InfoF1, which measures factuality and information coverage, and CiteF1, which measures citation support and completeness. Human evaluation shows MiRAGE aligns well with extrinsic quality judgments, and an automatic implementation outperforms three text‑centric RAG metrics (ALCE, ARGUE, RAGAS) on text while uniquely generalizing to multimodal inputs.
