# Object Location 4-Class (Subset 1 of 5)

A visual question answering dataset for evaluating spatial reasoning — specifically, identifying the location of an object (Up / Down / Left / Right) from the viewer's perspective.

## Dataset Configurations

### `close_ended`
Multiple-choice format with 4 fixed options (A: Up, B: Down, C: Left, D: Right).

### `open_ended`
Free-form answer format. The model is expected to respond with one of: Up, Down, Left, Right.

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Close-ended (multiple choice)
ds_close = load_dataset("YOUR_HF_ID/object_location_4class", name="close_ended", split="val")

# Open-ended (free-form)
ds_open = load_dataset("YOUR_HF_ID/object_location_4class", name="open_ended", split="val")
```
