# SciVisAgentBench Tasks

This repository is a secondary repo of [SciVisAgentBench](https://github.com/KuangshiAi/SciVisAgentBench), contains scientific data analysis and visualization datasets and tasks for benchmarking scientific visualization agents.

To learn more or contribute to SciVisAgentBench, please visit our [project page](https://scivisagentbench.github.io/).

## Data Organization

All the volume datasets from http://klacansky.com/open-scivis-datasets/ have been organized into a consistent structure.

### Directory Structure

The datasets and tasks for ParaView-based visualizations are organized into the `main`, the `sci_volume_data`, and the `chatvis_bench` folders. The `bioimage_data` folder holds tasks for bioimage visualization, and `molecular_vis` folder holds tasks for molecular visualization. The `chatvis_bench` folder contains 20 test cases from the official [ChatVis](https://github.com/tpeterka/ChatVis) benchmark.


Each dataset in the `main`, the `sci_volume_data`, and the `chatvis_bench` folders follows this structure:
```
dataset_name/
├── data/
│   ├── dataset_file.raw         # The actual data file
│   └── dataset_name.txt         # Metadata about the dataset
├── GS/                          # Ground truth folder (ParaView state + pvpython code)
├── task_description.txt         # ParaView visualization task
└── visualization_goals.txt      # Evaluation criteria for the visualization
```

### Available Volume Datasets

- **37 datasets under 512MB** are suggested to be downloaded
- **18 datasets over 512MB** are listed but not downloaded

See `datasets_list.md` for a complete list with specifications. And `datasets_info.json` is the complete JSON file with all dataset metadata.

### Task Descriptions

Each dataset has:
1. **Task descriptions** - Based on dataset type (medical, simulation, molecular, etc.)
2. **Visualization goals** - Evaluation criteria tailored to the dataset characteristics
3. **Ground Truth** - Ground truth pvpython code, ParaView state and screenshots
