# Rethinking Comprehensive Benchmark for Chart Understanding: A Perspective from Scientific Literature
[GitHub](https://github.com/lydonShen/SCI-CQA) | [Paper]()

## Dataset Details
SCI-CQA introduces a novel evaluation framework inspired by human exams, encompassing 5,629 carefully curated questions, both objective and open-ended.

SCI-CQA consists of a total of 7 files. 

The chart directory under **chart_test_images.zip** contains 2,894 images, which include all the images used in the question-answer pairs. 
To make it easier to distinguish, the images corresponding to different questions are placed in separate folders within this directory. 

The remaining 6 files correspond to different question-answer pairs. 
We have categorized all the questions into two major types based on chart types: **flowcharts** (such as model structure diagrams, algorithm flowcharts, etc.) and **data charts** (such as line charts, bar charts, scatter plots, etc.). 
All questions are further divided into two categories: **perception and reasoning**, to facilitate fine-grained evaluation.
