Dataset Card for SciFIBench

Dataset Description

• Homepage: https://github.com/jonathan-roberts1/SciFIBench
• Paper: SciFIBench: Benchmarking Large Multimodal Models for Scientific Figure Interpretation

Dataset Summary

The SciFIBench (Scientific Figure Interpretation Benchmark) contains 1000 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 dataset, using adversarial filtering to obtain hard negatives. Human verification has been performed on each question to ensure high-quality, answerable questions.
