SPM-Bench: Benchmarking Large Language Models for Scanning Probe Microscopy
Researchers have developed SPM-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on their capabilities in scanning probe microscopy. This benchmark utilizes an automated data synthesis pipeline that extracts image-text pairs from scientific papers, ensuring high quality and efficiency. SPM-Bench introduces a novel evaluation metric, SIP-F1, which not only ranks model performance but also categorizes their reasoning 'personalities' and identifies their true limitations in complex physical scenarios.
