# vstar_bench (Reformatted)

This dataset is a **reformatted version** of
[`craigwu/vstar_bench`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/craigwu/vstar_bench).

The underlying data (images, questions, choices, and answers) is **unchanged**.
Only the representation has been normalized to make it easier to use in
standard multiple-choice (MCQ) and instruction-following evaluation pipelines.

---

## Dataset Format

Each example contains:

- `question` (`string`): question text  
- `choices` (`List[str]`): answer options (no letter prefixes)  
- `answer` (`int`): correct option index (0-based)  
- `image` (`Image`): associated image  

---

## Reconstructing MCQ Prompt

The original letter-based MCQ format can be reconstructed as follows:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("ohjoonhee/vstar_bench")
row = ds["test"][0]

question = row["question"]
choices = row["choices"]
answer = row["answer"]

post_prompt = "Answer with the option's letter from the given choices directly."

choices = [f"({chr(i + ord('A'))}) {choice}" for i, choice in enumerate(choices)]
text = "\n".join([question] + choices + [post_prompt])
print(text)

label = ["A", "B", "C", "D"][answer]
print(label)
```

## Notes
- Fully reversible to the original dataset format
- No samples were modified, added, or removed
