# MathCoder-VL: Bridging Vision and Code for Enhanced Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning

Repo: [https://github.com/mathllm/MathCoder](https://github.com/mathllm/MathCoder)

Paper: [https://huggingface.co/papers/2505.10557](https://huggingface.co/papers/2505.10557)


## Introduction
We introduce MathCoder-VL, a series of open-source large multimodal models (LMMs) specifically tailored for general math problem-solving. We also introduce [FigCodifier-8B](https://huggingface.co/MathLLMs/FigCodifier), an image-to-code model.

| Base Model                                          	|Ours                                               |

## Usage
For training and inference code, please refer to [InternVL](https://github.com/OpenGVLab/InternVL).

```
from datasets import load_dataset
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO

mm_mathinstruct = load_dataset("MathLLMs/MM-MathInstruct")
print(mm_mathinstruct)

# show the last image
img = Image.open(BytesIO(mm_mathinstruct['train'][-1]['image']))
img.show()
```

It should print:
```
DatasetDict({
    train: Dataset({
        features: ['id', 'image', 'question', 'solution', 'image_path'],
        num_rows: 2871988
    })
})
```

### Prompt for TikZ Code Generation

```
<image>\nPlease generate the corresponding TikZ code that accurately represents the visual elements in the image. TikZ is a powerful tool for creating vector graphics within LaTeX documents. Your generated code should be precise, well-structured, and should recreate the image as faithfully as possible.
```
