# HVSBench
HVSBench is a benchmark for evaluating how well multimodal large language models align with human perceptual behavior. It covers human visual system tasks across prominence, subitizing, prioritizing, free-viewing, and searching.
This Hugging Face release packages the divided 10% test subset described in the paper as parquet shards with embedded image bytes. It contains 8,657 question-answer examples and 7,507 unique raw images referenced through the `image` column. The corresponding paper describes the full HVSBench benchmark with 85,147 multimodal QA pairs across 13 question types and 5 fields.

## Dataset Structure
The dataset is uploaded as parquet shards. The `image` feature contains the image data embedded in parquet, and `real_image_path` preserves the original relative source path under `raw_datasets`.
Columns:
- `image`: raw RGB image embedded in parquet
- `index`: source row index
- `question`: benchmark prompt
- `question_type`: question type ID, Q1-Q13
- `answer`: ground-truth answer
- `answer_type`: answer format, such as `single_choice`, `int_number`, `sorting`, or `fixation_prediction`
- `category`: benchmark category, such as `saliency_rank`, `salient_instance`, or `scanpath`
- `split`: original split label
- `real_image_path`: original relative path under `raw_datasets`
- `origin_dataset`: source dataset name
## Data Statistics
- Rows: 8,657
- Unique images: 7,507
- Categories:
- `saliency_rank`: 4,431
- `scanpath`: 3,162
- `salient_instance`: 1,064
- Original source datasets:
- `SIFR`: 4,431
- `COCOFreeView`: 2,519
- `SIS10K`: 1,064
- `COCOSearch`: 643
## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("<repo_id>")
sample = ds["train"][0]
