aircop-8b — Qwen3-VL-8B fine-tuned on AirCopBench

LoRA adapter for Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct, supervised fine-tuned on the training split of AirCopBench, a multi-UAV collaborative aerial perception VQA benchmark.

Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.11025

Task

Each question shows the same scene captured at the same moment by 2–6 UAV cameras from different viewpoints, and asks a 4-way multiple-choice question (object grounding, counting, matching, causal/collaboration assessment, etc.). The model answers with a single option letter.

Results (AirCopBench test, 1025 questions)

Subset	Accuracy
Overall	0.7532 (772/1025)
Real2 (2 real UAVs)	0.6099
Sim3 (3 sim UAVs)	0.8206
Sim5 (5 sim UAVs)	0.7415
Sim6 (6 sim UAVs)	0.7405

Parse failures: 0.
