Improve dataset card for Seg-Zero: Add license, tags, abstract, features, and usage

Browse files

This PR significantly enhances the dataset card for the `Seg-Zero` dataset by:

- Adding the `cc-by-nc-4.0` license to the metadata, reflecting common practice for research datasets.
- Including relevant `tags` such as `reasoning`, `reinforcement-learning`, and `zero-shot` to improve discoverability on the Hugging Face Hub.
- Incorporating the paper's full abstract to provide immediate and comprehensive context about the research and the dataset's role.
- Detailing the dataset's structure and features, drawing from the existing metadata.
- Highlighting key features of the Seg-Zero framework (which this dataset supports) as outlined in the official GitHub repository.
- Providing a basic Python sample usage snippet to guide users on how to load and interact with the dataset using the `datasets` library.
- Adding the BibTeX citation for proper academic attribution.

These changes collectively make the dataset card more informative, accessible, and aligned with best practices for documenting artifacts on the Hub.

+ # Seg-Zero Dataset: Reasoning-Chain Guided Segmentation via Cognitive Reinforcement
37
+
38
+ This repository hosts the training dataset introduced in the paper [Seg-Zero: Reasoning-Chain Guided Segmentation via Cognitive Reinforcement](https://huggingface.co/papers/2503.06520).

+ ## Abstract
41
+ Traditional methods for reasoning segmentation rely on supervised fine-tuning with categorical labels and simple descriptions, limiting its out-of-domain generalization and lacking explicit reasoning processes. To address these limitations, we propose Seg-Zero, a novel framework that demonstrates remarkable generalizability and derives explicit chain-of-thought reasoning through cognitive reinforcement. Seg-Zero introduces a decoupled architecture consisting of a reasoning model and a segmentation model. The reasoning model interprets user intentions, generates explicit reasoning chains, and produces positional prompts, which are subsequently used by the segmentation model to generate precious pixel-level masks. We design a sophisticated reward mechanism that integrates both format and accuracy rewards to effectively guide optimization directions. Trained exclusively via reinforcement learning with GRPO and without explicit reasoning data, Seg-Zero achieves robust zero-shot generalization and exhibits emergent test-time reasoning capabilities. Experiments show that Seg-Zero-7B achieves a zero-shot performance of 57.5 on the ReasonSeg benchmark, surpassing the prior LISA-7B by 18%. This significant improvement highlights Seg-Zero's ability to generalize across domains while presenting an explicit reasoning process.

47
+ ## Dataset Description
48
+ This dataset is designed for training and evaluating models on reasoning-chain guided image segmentation tasks. It contains `2000` examples in the `train` split, with each entry comprising:
49
+ - `id`: Unique identifier for the sample.
50
+ - `problem`: The reasoning problem or question.
51
+ - `solution`: The explicit reasoning chain or solution.
52
+ - `image`: The input image.
53
+ - `img_height`: Height of the image.
54
+ - `img_width`: Width of the image.
55
+
56
+ ## Key Features of Seg-Zero (Associated Framework)
57
+ This dataset supports the Seg-Zero framework, which demonstrates the following key features:
58
+ 1. **Emergent Test-Time Reasoning**: Seg-Zero exhibits emergent test-time reasoning ability. It generates a reasoning chain before producing the final segmentation mask.
59
+ 2. **Reinforcement Learning Only**: Seg-Zero is trained exclusively using reinforcement learning, without any explicit supervised reasoning data.
60
+ 3. **Superior Generalization**: Compared to supervised fine-tuning, Seg-Zero achieves superior performance on both in-domain and out-of-domain data.
61
+
62
+ ## Sample Usage
63
+ You can load the dataset using the Hugging Face `datasets` library:
64
+
65
+ ```python
66
+ from datasets import load_dataset
67
+
68
+ # Load the training split of the Seg-Zero dataset
69
+ dataset = load_dataset("Ricky06662/Seg-Zero", split="train")
70
+
71
+ # Access the first example
72
+ print(dataset[0])
73
+
74
+ # Example of accessing image and problem statement
75
+ print(f"Problem: {dataset[0]['problem']}")
76
+ dataset[0]['image'].save("first_image.png")
77
+ print("First image saved as first_image.png")
78
+ ```
