Title: Evaluation of Embedding-Based and Generative Methods for LLM-Driven Document Classification: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.04997v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work presents a comparative analysis of embedding-based and generative models for classifying geoscience technical documents. Using a multi-disciplinary benchmark dataset, we evaluated the trade-offs between model accuracy, stability, and computational cost. We find that generative Vision-Language Models (VLMs) like Qwen2.5-VL, enhanced with Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting, achieve superior zero-shot accuracy (82%) compared to state-of-the-
