Researchers have developed SciLT, a new framework designed to improve long-tailed image classification specifically within scientific domains. Traditional methods struggle with the unique characteristics of scientific images, leading to limited gains when fine-tuning existing foundation models. SciLT addresses this by adaptively fusing multi-level representations, particularly leveraging penultimate-layer features which are crucial for tail classes, thereby achieving more balanced performance across all categories.
