TVP Training Data — Thinking with Visual Primitives
Training data for the Thinking with Visual Primitives PyTorch implementation.
Overview
This dataset contains all training data for the multi-stage TVP pipeline:
| Split | File | Samples | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pretrain | pretrain/grounding.jsonl |
146K | COCO-based grounding (label + bbox) |
| SFT | sft/grounding/sft_grounding.jsonl |
30K | Grounding with structured thinking + negatives (15%) |
| SFT | sft/counting/counting_data.jsonl |
8K | Counting with bbox grounding in CoT |
| SFT | sft/spatial/spatial_data.jsonl |
3K | CLEVR-style spatial reasoning |
| SFT | sft/maze/maze_data.jsonl |
5K | Procedural maze navigation (point primitives) |
| SFT | sft/path/path_data.jsonl |
3K | Path tracing (point sequences) |
Data Format
All files are JSONL. Coordinates are normalized integers in [0, 999].

Source Images
The JSONL files reference COCO 2017 images. Download them separately:
- Train: COCO 2017 Train (18GB)
- Val: COCO 2017 Val (1GB)
For maze/spatial/path tasks, images are procedurally generated by the scripts.
