# VisDoTQA: Enhancing Visual Reasoning through Human-Like Interpretation Grounding and Decomposition of Thought

This repository releases **VisDoTQA**, the public benchmark introduced in our paper [*VisDoT : Enhancing Visual Reasoning through Human-Like Interpretation Grounding and Decomposition of Thought*](https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-eacl.30/).

The canonical publication record is the **ACL Anthology** page for **Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EACL 2026**, and an additional mirror is available on **arXiv:2603.11631**.  
See our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/bongdong22/VisDoTQA) for the synchronized source release and updates.  
See the paper on [ACL Anthology](https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-eacl.30/), on [arXiv:2603.11631](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.11631), or via [DOI](https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/2026.findings-eacl.30).

## Highlights

- We release **VisDoTQA**, a public benchmark for evaluating **visual grounding** and **compositional reasoning** on chart images.
- The benchmark contains **1,120 QA pairs** built from **609 held-out charts**.
- VisDoTQA covers four perceptual task families: **Position**, **Length**, **Pattern**, and **Extract**.
- This Hugging Face repository releases the **public benchmark test split only**. The full research dataset described in the paper contains **331,969 QA pairs** and is not included here.

## Dataset Structure

- **Split**: `test`
- **Images**: `test/images/`
- **Metadata**: `test/metadata.jsonl`

Each example contains:

- `file_name`: relative path to the chart image
- `imgname`: image filename
- `query`: benchmark question
- `label`: ground-truth answer
- `source`: VisDoTQA task category (`Position`, `Length`, `Pattern`, `Extract`)
