Do Multimodal Models Decide Consistently on Equivalent Optical Spectra?

arXiv paper testing representation invariance and abstention on measured optical spectra of silicon metasurfaces and gold nanoparticles, evaluating d3-nano, Jev 1.13, three GPT-6 Luna configurations, and Qwen3.5-2B.

Highlights

  • Each spectrum is shown as four tables (nm, µm, scientific notation, eV) and two plots (nm, eV).
  • Changing only the representation moves accuracy by up to 41 percentage points within one model.
  • Asking in photon energy instead of wavelength helps some model-view pairs by 16-50 points and hurts others by up to 25.
  • LoRA fine-tuning of d3-nano abstains whenever input is truncated; training with answerable truncations avoids that shortcut in all six seeds.
  • The tasks, per-response results, and analysis code are released.
