Scientific QA
Multimodal Reasoning
The ScienceQA dataset is a multimodal science question‑answering collection covering numerous domains such as chemistry, biology, physics, earth science, engineering, geography, history, civics, economics, global studies, grammar, writing, vocabulary, natural science, language science, and social science. The dataset comprises fields including images, questions, multiple‑choice options, answers, hints, task descriptions, grade levels, subjects, topics, categories, skills, lectures, and solutions. It is primarily intended for multimodal multiple‑choice tasks, supporting question answering (multiple choice, closed‑domain, open‑domain), visual question answering, and multi‑class classification. The dataset was created to diagnose AI systems’ multi‑hop reasoning capability and explainability, especially in scientific question answering. The language is English, with a scale ranging from 10 K to 100 K instances, split into training, validation, and test sets.
