Uncertainty-42/MSCOCO_NAMLab_pt

MS COCO 2014 NAMLab Priors for HGA

This dataset repository hosts the pre-computed hierarchical invariant region partition priors for weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) on MS COCO 2014, generated using the NAMLab framework.

Due to Hugging Face's individual file size limits, the total ~63.69 GB dataset is uploaded as a split-volume zip archive (priors_coco.zip.part1 to priors_coco.zip.part3). You must concatenate them locally before extraction.

🔗 Main Codebase

The complete implementation, environment setup, and training guidelines are available in our official GitHub repository: 👉 Uncertainty-42/HGA

📂 Expected Directory Layout

After concatenation and extraction, the folder structure should match the following layout:

MSCOCO/
├── JPEGImages/                
│   ├── train/                 
│   └── val/                   
└── priors/                    
    └── namlab_pt/             # <- Extract here (will automatically create train/ and val/)

📥 Concatenation & Extraction Guide

Navigate to your local priors/ directory where the downloaded split parts reside, and run the following commands to reconstruct and extract the dataset:

# Step 1: Concatenate the split parts into a single valid zip archive
cat priors_coco.zip.part* > priors_coco.zip

# Step 2: Extract the contents into namlab_pt/
unzip priors_coco.zip -d namlab_pt/

# Step 3: Clean up the temporary archive and parts (Optional)
rm priors_coco.zip.part* priors_coco.zip
