The dataset has been classified into 19 categories. These are 
-  Algorithms 
- Architecture/Pipeline diagrams
- Bar charts 
- Box Plots 
- Confusion Matrix
- Graph

Finally, the `scientific_figures.csv` file contains following columns/fields:

1. `sci_fig` : Scientific figure name

2. `caption`: Caption text

3. `inline_reference`: Scientific figure contexts mentioned in the research paper

4. `metadata`: metadata json filename

5. `label`: One of the 19 categories as described above.

6. `acl_paper_id`: Unique identifier assigned to each pdf by ACL
