eval3_objectvla_vl_pairs
ObjectVLA-style vision-language co-training data for the Eval 3 face/celebrity
identification task. Companion dataset to
HBOrtiz/so101_eval3_aug_v3_200celebs.
Contents
manifest.parquet— 176 670 VL pairs (one row per (frame, portrait, caption_type)).data.tar.zst— 1.7 GB compressed archive containing:images/chunk-{000..003}/*.jpg— 29 445 wrist-cam frames (480 × 640, 3 sampled per episode at 20% / 50% / 80%).references/<episode>__ref.jpg— 9 815 reference photos (480 × 480, one per episode — the "what the target should look like" cue). Extract withtar --zstd -xf data.tar.zst(creates the two subdirs).
_stats.json— dataset statistics + skip counters.

Two camera streams per sample
Mirroring the original Eval 3 robot dataset's two-camera setup:
image_pathis the wrist-cam view — 480 × 640 of the workspace with 3 visible printed portraits. This is the perception domain the robot acts in.reference_image_pathis the reference view — 480 × 480 of the target celeb's photo, the same image for all frames of a given episode (it's a constant-frame video in the source robot dataset).
The bbox in bbox_xyxy_norm is the paper-region bbox in the wrist-cam image (where the target portrait sits on the table), NOT the reference image (which is whole-frame). Use the reference image as auxiliary visual context, not for bbox grounding.
Two caption types
Per visible portrait per frame we emit one row of each type (so 6 rows per frame for 3 visible portraits):
location_explicit — model is asked what's in the image, expected to emit name + bbox:
prompt: "What is in this image?"
target: "The printed photo of Barack Obama is at [0.06, 0.43, 0.41, 0.90]."
qa_grounded — model is given a bbox in the prompt, expected to name the person there:
prompt: "Who is in the printed photo at [0.06, 0.43, 0.41, 0.90]?"
target: "Barack Obama"
Why this format
Following the ObjectVLA recipe (arxiv 2502.19250 §3),
the bbox is whole-object (the printed portrait rectangle), computed
from the augmentation pipeline's cached portrait_corners.json (no new
face-detection inference required). Loose-crop / whole-object boxes
empirically outperform tight face crops for identity discrimination
(Banerjee 2022, LFW ablations).
Stats
- 192 unique celebrities
- 9 815 source episodes (of 9 842 in the robot dataset — 27 with missing corners metadata)
- 29 445 sampled wrist-cam frames (3 per episode, at 20% / 50% / 80% time fractions)
- 9 815 reference frames (1 per episode — constant-frame video, single sample taken)
- 176 670 VL pairs (50 / 50 split between
location_explicitandqa_grounded)
Intended use
Mix into Pi0.5 fine-tuning at a 10:1 robot:VL batch ratio per
ObjectVLA. See
eval_3/tracks/TRACK_OBJECTVLA.md
