Summary

A SigLIP2 study reported higher validation scores after full tuning, but had no independent test region.

On a reproducible split of public aerial fire-risk imagery, full SigLIP2 adaptation reached 63.05 percent validation accuracy and 58.94 percent macro F1, versus 55.95 and 50.19 percent for a frozen encoder probe. Both results came from one seed and checkpoint selection on the same validation partition, so the paper explicitly stops short of claiming performance on unseen regions.

Why it matters
