Build Build Build Build Build

Overview

VIRA (Vis-IR Aggregation), a large-scale dataset comprising a vast collection of screenshots from diverse sources, carefully curated into captioned and questionanswer formats.

Statistics

There are three types of data in VIRA: caption data, query-to-screenshot (q2s) data, and screenshot+query-to-screenshot (sq2s) data. The table below provides a detailed breakdown of the data counts for each domain and type.

β”œβ”€β”€ sq2s.jsonl: a query, a query screenshot, a positive screenshot and eight negative screenshots
β”œβ”€β”€ Domain.tar.gz.partaa 
β”œβ”€β”€ Domain.tar.gz.partab

Download Images

We have released all the images. Due to the large total size, they are split into multiple parts. You can download the images using the script below:

#!/bin/bash

FOLDER="Chart" # β€œNews” "PDFA" "Papers" "Product" "Readmes" "Wiki"
BASE_URL="https://huggingface.co/datasets/marsh123/VIRA/resolve/main/${FOLDER}"

mkdir -p "$FOLDER"
cd "$FOLDER"

for first in {a..z}; do
  for second in {a..z}; do
    part="${first}${second}"
    file="${FOLDER}.tar.gz.part${part}"
    url="${BASE_URL}/${file}"

    echo "Trying: $url"
    if curl --output /dev/null --silent --head --fail "$url"; then
      wget --continue "$url"
    else
      echo "No more parts after part${part}"
      break 2  
    fi
  done
done

echo "Merging parts..."
cat "${FOLDER}.tar.gz.part"* > "${FOLDER}.tar.gz"

echo "Extracting..."
tar -xzvf "${FOLDER}.tar.gz"

echo "Cleaning up..."
rm "${FOLDER}.tar.gz.part"*
rm "${FOLDER}.tar.gz"

echo "βœ… Done!"
