# Dataset Card for Scientific Figures, Captions, and Context |
|
A novel vision-language dataset of scientific figures taken directly from research papers. |
|
We scraped approximately ~150k papers, with about ~690k figures total. We extracted each figure's caption and label from the paper. In addition, we searched through each paper to find references of each figure and included the surrounding text as 'context' for this figure. |
|
|
|
All figures were taken from arXiv research papers. |

### Usage |
|
The `merged.json` file is a mapping between the figure's filename as stored in the repository and its caption, label, and context. |
|
To use, you must extract the parts located under dataset/figures/ and keep the raw images in the same directory so that they match the image_filename fields. |
|
The images are named in the format <paper id>-<figure name> where paper id is the id given by arXiv and figure name is the name of the figure as given in the raw format of each paper. |
