# PosterBench

PosterBench is a 100-paper, image-native benchmark for academic poster
generation introduced in [AutoDesign: Meta-Harness Optimization for
Long-Horizon Agentic Design](https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.13560).

This Hugging Face release is **metadata only**. It does not host or redistribute
the underlying paper PDFs, full text, abstracts, figures, tables, or
thumbnails. Each row identifies the exact benchmark paper version and records
the official landing page, access policy, license information where available,
and expected SHA-256.

## Load

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("YaxinLuo/PosterBench", split="test")
```

For the fixed 10-paper development subset, use
[`YaxinLuo/PosterBench-mini`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/YaxinLuo/PosterBench-mini).

## Dataset structure

The dataset contains 100 rows: 20 papers from each of five disciplines.

- `id`: stable `discipline/case_id` identifier
- `discipline`: benchmark discipline
- `case_id`: stable case identifier
- `title`, `authors`, `year`: bibliographic metadata
- `identifiers`: DOI, arXiv, and OpenAlex identifiers where available
- `landing_url`: official landing page
- `download_policy`: `open_access` or `manual_access_required`
- `pdf_url`: present only when the exact version has an approved Creative
  Commons or public-domain license
- `license_url`: license for that exact paper version, when verified
- `expected_sha256`: SHA-256 of the exact version used by the benchmark
- `schema_version`: manifest schema version

The benchmark downloader automatically downloads only records with an HTTPS
PDF URL, an approved Creative Commons or public-domain license, and an exact
hash match. All other records require users to obtain the paper independently
through a lawful source available to them.

## License and rights boundary

The MIT license for this repository applies only to the PosterBench metadata,
benchmark-specific annotations, and documentation authored by the AutoDesign
project. It does **not** apply to or grant any rights in the underlying papers
or their contents. Each paper remains subject to its own copyright and license.
