SDGBiasBench is a large-scale benchmark suite designed to evaluate and mitigate biases in vision–language models (VLMs) when reasoning about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It contains 500k expert‑involved multiple‑choice questions and 50k regression tasks, allowing assessment of both decision‑level and estimation‑level bias. Experiments show that current VLMs exhibit intrinsic SDG bias, often relying on priors rather than multimodal evidence, and the proposed CADE method significantly reduces this bias, improving accuracy and reducing mean absolute error.

Artificial intelligence for plant disease analysis has advanced from task-specific classifiers to multi-modal models capable of jointly interpreting visual and textual information. However, practical...
The paper introduces SOLAR, a multimodal generative model that jointly interprets visual and textual data to understand tomato leaf diseases across six question‑answering tasks. SOLAR aligns visual features with task‑aware language representations using a Fusion Expert module based on a mixture‑of‑experts, enabling it to generate contextually relevant answers for diverse diagnostic tasks. Evaluated on 41,677 images and 216,209 QA pairs, SOLAR outperforms state‑of‑the‑art vision‑only, vision‑language, and task‑specific models in both closed and open‑ended settings, demonstrating superior accuracy, robustness, and multimodal reasoning.
