Human Behavior Atlas v2

A large-scale multimodal dataset for human behavior understanding, spanning emotion recognition, sentiment analysis, humor detection, mental health screening, and video question answering. The dataset integrates 16 source datasets into a unified schema with audio, video, and pre-extracted features, designed for reinforcement learning training with the verl framework and multimodal language models such as Qwen2.5-Omni-7B.

Repository Structure

sboughorbel/human_behavior_atlas_v2/
  train-00000-of-XXXXX.parquet    # Sharded parquet with embedded audio/video
  train-00001-of-XXXXX.parquet
  ...
  validation-*.parquet
  test-*.parquet

All data — including audio, video, and pre-extracted features — is fully embedded in the parquet files. No separate downloads or extraction needed.

Usage

Loading with HuggingFace Datasets

from datasets import load_dataset

# Stream without downloading everything
ds = load_dataset("sboughorbel/human_behavior_atlas_v2", split="train", streaming=True)
sample = next(iter(ds))

# Load a subset
ds_100 = load_dataset("sboughorbel/human_behavior_atlas_v2", split="train[:100]")

# Filter by task or modality
emotion_ds = ds_100.filter(lambda x: x["task"] == "emotion_cls")

Accessing Embedded Media

import io
import soundfile as sf

sample = ds_100[0]

# Audio is raw bytes — decode with soundfile or torchaudio
if sample["audios"]:
    audio_data, sr = sf.read(io.BytesIO(sample["audios"][0]))

# Video is raw bytes — decode with decord, opencv, or write to temp file
if sample["videos"]:
    video_bytes = sample["videos"][0]
    # e.g., with decord:
    # from decord import VideoReader
    # vr = VideoReader(io.BytesIO(video_bytes))

Download and Setup

# Download full dataset
huggingface-cli download sboughorbel/human_behavior_atlas_v2 \
    --repo-type dataset --local-dir /path/to/data

# Or download specific splits only
huggingface-cli download sboughorbel/human_behavior_atlas_v2 \
    --repo-type dataset --local-dir /path/to/data \
    --include "train-*.parquet"

Integration with verl RL Training

This dataset is designed for RL training with verl using Qwen2.5-Omni-7B. The problem field contains structured prompts with <audio> and <video> modality markers. Audio and video bytes are loaded directly from parquet — no path resolution needed.

All data including feature tensors is embedded directly in the parquet files.

# verl training config
python3 -m verl.trainer.main_ppo \
    data.train_files=/path/to/data/train-*.parquet \
    data.val_files=/path/to/data/validation-*.parquet \
    data.prompt_key=problem \
    data.image_key=images \
    data.video_key=videos \
    data.modalities='audio,videos' \
    ...
