Researchers have introduced AirQualityBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate global air quality forecasting models under realistic conditions. Unlike previous methods that use preprocessed data, AirQualityBench incorporates challenges such as uneven global coverage, missing observations, and varied pollutant scales. Evaluating existing models on this benchmark revealed that strong performance on simplified datasets does not always translate to real-world, fragmented monitoring streams. AI
