Researchers have developed a new post-training method called Filling Before Advancing (FBA) to improve the performance of remote sensing multimodal large language models (RS-MLLMs) in specialized scenarios. FBA addresses the challenge of scarce, high-quality data by first filling prerequisite capability gaps before advancing to scenario specialization. When applied to coastal harbor understanding, FBA significantly boosted performance on the HarborEval benchmark, increasing scores from 57.95 to 70.29 for LLaVA-v1.5 and from 81.09 to 83.37 for Qwen3-VL, outperforming other methods.
