GeoFitBench-LLM: A Benchmark for Assessing Large Language Models' Capabilities in Geospatial Data Requirements Elicitation for Geo-Analytic Tasks

GeoFitBench-LLM is introduced as a benchmark for assessing whether LLMs can infer the datasets, the supporting resources and the constraints required by geo-analytic requests in natural language.

Key points

  • Large language models are becoming central to GeoAI systems, yet their evaluation rarely considers the elicitation of geospatial data requirements.
  • This omission is critical as retrieval oriented geo-analytic tasks cannot be supported reliably without first identifying the necessary datasets and constraints.
  • The benchmark is structured around two reasoning dimensions, Spatio-Temporal Relational and Semantic Grounding, reflecting long-standing challenges in geospatial information retrieval and related natural language tasks.
  • Ground truth requirements are encoded in a fixed, provider-independent schema for reproducible evaluation of resource identification and attribute-level specification.
