arXiv:2609.00018v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer science papers rely heavily on diagrams: architecture drawings, system flowcharts, and pipeline schematics that often carry more information than the text around them. There is currently no public dataset that pairs this specific kind of figure with captions, context, questions, answers, and step-by-step reasoning, which is exactly what is needed to train a vision-language model to understand them. We present \textbf{SCAFFOLD}\footnote{https://github.com/theranjitraut/scaffold}, a large-scale structured dataset of computer science research figures with diagram QA and Chain-of-Thought reasoning traces. This dataset consists of (image, c
