# Comics: Pick-A-Panel

This is the dataset for the [ICDAR 2025 Competition on Comics Understanding in the Era of Foundational Models](https://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=31&com=introduction)

The dataset contains five subtask or skills:

### Sequence Filling
<details>
<summary>Task Description</summary>
![Sequence Filling](figures/seq_filling.png)
Given a sequence of comic panels, a missing panel, and a set of option panels, the task is to select the panel that best fits the sequence.
</details>

### Character Coherence, Visual Closure, Text Closure
<details>
<summary>Task Description</summary>
![Character Coherence](figures/closure.png)
These skills require understanding the context sequence to then pick the best panel to continue the story, focusing on the characters, the visual elements, and the text:
- Character Coherence: Given a sequence of comic panels, pick the panel from the two options that best continues the story in a coherent with the characters. Both options are the same panel, but the text in the speech bubbles is has been swapped.
- Visual Closure: Given a sequence of comic panels, pick the panel from the options that best continues the story in a coherent way with the visual elements.
- Text Closure: Given a sequence of comic panels, pick the panel from the options that best continues the story in a coherent way with the text. All options are the same panel, but with text in the speech retrieved from different panels.
</details>

### Caption Relevance
<details>
<summary>Task Description</summary>
![Caption Relevance](figures/caption_relevance.png)
Given a caption from the previous panel, select the panel that best continues the story.
</details>

## Loading the Data

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

skill = "seq_filling" # "seq_filling", "char_coherence", "visual_closure", "text_closure", "caption_relevance"
split = "val" # "test"
dataset = load_dataset("VLR-CVC/ComPAP", skill, split=split)
```

<details>
<summary>Map to single images</summary>
If your model can only process single images, you can render each sample as a single image:
