[![OpenCompass](https://opencompass.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/image/compass-hub/badge.svg)](https://hub.opencompass.org.cn/dataset-detail/SciFIBench)

Note: This repo has been updated to add two splits ('General_Figure2Caption' and 'General_Caption2Figure') with an additional 1000 questions. The original version splits are preserved and have been renamed as follows: 'Figure2Caption' -> 'CS_Figure2Caption' and 'Caption2Figure' -> 'CS_Caption2Figure'.

### Dataset Summary
The SciFIBench (Scientific Figure Interpretation Benchmark) contains 2000 multiple-choice scientific figure interpretation questions covering two tasks. Task 1: 
Figure -> Caption involves selecting the most appropriate caption given a figure; Task 2: Caption -> Figure involves the opposite -- selecting the most appropriate 
figure given a caption. This benchmark was curated from the SciCap and ArxivCap datasets, using adversarial filtering to obtain hard negatives. Human verification has been performed 
on each question to ensure high-quality, 
answerable questions.

### Example Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# load dataset
dataset = load_dataset("jonathan-roberts1/SciFIBench") # optional: set cache_dir="PATH/TO/MY/CACHE/DIR"
# there are 4 dataset splits, which can be indexed separately 
# cs_figure2caption_dataset = load_dataset("jonathan-roberts1/SciFIBench", split="CS_Figure2Caption")
# cs_caption2figure_dataset = load_dataset("jonathan-roberts1/SciFIBench", split="CS_Caption2Figure")
# general_figure2caption_dataset = load_dataset("jonathan-roberts1/SciFIBench", split="General_Figure2Caption")
# general_caption2figure_dataset = load_dataset("jonathan-roberts1/SciFIBench", split="General_Caption2Figure")
