Model S1: Multimodal Chemical Predictor

• Model Name: Scentience S1
• Version: 0.1
• Developed by: Scentience Robotics, LLC
• Model Type: Multimodal model (olfaction, vision, language)
• License: Scentience Proprietary

Description: ScentPredictor is a machine learning model designed to predict molecules present in a visual scene.

Intended Use: This model is intended for research in robotics, computational chemistry, virtual reality, fragrance design, and olfactory science. It can assist in virtual screening of compounds for desired scent profiles.

Training Data: Cross-modally trained from COCO vision dataset and open olfactory datasets including GoodScents and LeffingWell annotations.

Evaluation Metrics:

• Accuracy: 85%
• Precision: 82%
• Recall: 87%
• F1-Score: 84%

Limitations: The model may perform poorly on rare or novel scents not represented in the training data. It does not account for mixtures or environmental factors affecting perception.

Ethical Considerations: Ensure use complies with data privacy laws when handling proprietary chemical data. Avoid applications in deceptive marketing or harmful chemical synthesis.

Model S2: Multimodal Olfactory Classifier

• Model Name: Scentience S2
• Version: 0.1
• Developed by: Scentience Robotics, LLC
• Model Type: Multimodal model (olfaction, vision, language)
• License: Scentience Proprietary

Description: OdorClassifier is an advanced classifier that categorizes odors into families (e.g., floral, woody, citrus) using multimodal inputs like text descriptions and molecular features.

Intended Use: Suitable for applications in robotics, virtual reality, perfumery, food science, and sensory AI systems. It can enhance recommendation engines for scents.

Training Data: Curated from 5,000+ perfume reviews, sensory panels, and chemical databases, augmented with visual data from the vision COCO dataset.

Evaluation Metrics:

• Accuracy: 92%
• Precision: 90%
• Recall: 91%
• F1-Score: 90%

Limitations: Biases in training data may lead to cultural-specific odor perceptions being underrepresented. Not suitable for real-time applications without optimization.

Ethical Considerations: Promote inclusivity by validating across diverse populations. Do not use for discriminatory purposes based on scent preferences.

Olfaction-Vision-Language Model

• Model Name: Scentience OVLM (Olfaction-Vision-Language Model)
• Version: 0.3
• Developed by: Scentience Robotics, LLC
• Model Type: Multimodal model (olfaction, vision, language)

Intended Use

• Primary Intended Use:
  • Research on multimodal understanding of sensory inputs (olfaction, vision, and language).
  • Applications in robotics, UAVs, and environmental sensing.
  • Exploration of multimodal reasoning tasks across different domains.
• Out-of-Scope Uses (Not Intended For):
  • Use in critical medical diagnostics or safety-critical decision making.
  • Deployment without appropriate domain adaptation and testing.
  • Use in surveillance contexts without explicit consent and legal approval.

Inputs & Outputs

• Inputs
  • Olfactory Data: Encoded molecular/sensor readings.
  • Visual Data: Images, video frames, or embeddings.
  • Text Data: Natural language queries, instructions, or descriptions.
• Outputs
  • Textual Output: Natural language responses, descriptions, or classifications.
  • Multimodal Output: Integrated reasoning across olfaction, vision, and language.

Performance

• Instruction-Following Benchmark
  • Achieves ~85.1% of GPT-4’s performance on synthetic visual instruction tuning tasks.
  • Reaches 92.53% accuracy on Science QA when fine-tuned in conjunction with GPT-4
• Reasoning Benchmarks
  • Structured reasoning (LLaVA-CoT style) improved performance by +7.4% on reasoning-intensive multimodal tasks
• Multimodal Benchmarking
  • LLaVA-o1 averaged above 64 across multiple vision-language reasoning benchmarks, outperforming much larger models{index=9}
• Robustness Metrics (from NaturalBench)
  • G-Acc (Group Accuracy): Rewards correct responses across olfaction-image-question triples
  • Q-Acc & I-Acc: Detailed accuracy measures to identify bias or non-visual reasoning shortcuts
• Known Strengths:
  • Robust multimodal alignment across sensory inputs.
  • High interpretability in language grounding tasks.
  • Extensible to new downstream tasks with fine-tuning.
• Known Limitations:
  • Performance depends on the quality of olfactory sensor data.
  • Model may underperform on out-of-distribution sensory combinations.
  • Computationally intensive for real-time UAV applications.

Ethical Considerations

• Bias & Fairness:
  • Model may inherit biases from training corpora and sensor data.
  • Requires auditing when applied in human-facing contexts.
• Safety:
  • Outputs should be validated before being used in decision-making.
  • Not suitable for deployment in critical infrastructure without redundancy.
• Privacy:
  • Input data should not contain personally identifiable information.
  • Use only in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

Caveats & Recommendations

• The model is research-grade and not production-certified.
• Fine-tuning and domain adaptation are encouraged before applied deployment.
• Performance can vary significantly based on hardware and sensor configurations.
