SciCap Scientific Image and Caption Dataset

SciCap Dataset provides pairs of scientific images with corresponding captions. It is designed for training and evaluating multimodal models. The dataset was created for research in scientific image understanding.

Use Cases

• Train image captioning models using the provided image-caption pairs.
• Evaluate the accuracy of generated captions against the dataset's ground truth captions.
• Develop visual question answering systems for scientific figures using the image and descriptive text.
• Fine-tune vision-language models on domain-specific scientific imagery.

Strengths

• Focuses on scientific imagery, a specialized domain.
• Provides structured image-caption pairs for multimodal learning.

Limitations

• Specific size, number of pairs, and image diversity are unknown.
• Potential bias towards specific scientific fields or publication sources.
• Caption quality and consistency are not verified without sample data.
