Note: Dataset is not pre-split. Users need to create train/validation/test splits as needed.

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Data Splitting

Since the dataset is not pre-split, you'll need to create train/validation/test splits:

import splitfolders

# Split dataset: 80% train, 10% val, 10% test
splitfolders.ratio(
  input='balanced_waste_images', 
  output='split_data',
  seed=42, 
  ratio=(.8, .1, .1),

Data used for publication in "Assessment of surrogate models for flood inundation: The physics-guided LSG model vs. state-of-the-art machine learning models". Five surrogate models for flood inundation is to emulate the results of high-resolution hydrodynamic models. The surrogate models are compared based on accuracy and computational speed for three distinct case studies namely Carlisle (United Kingdom), Chowilla floodplain (Australia), and Burnett River (Australia).The dataset is structured in 5 files - "Carlisle", "Chowilla", "BurnettRV", "Comparison_results", and "Python_data". As a minimum to run the models the "Python_data" file and one of "Carlisle", "Chowilla", or "BurnettRV" are needed. We suggest to use the "Carlisle" case study for initial testing given its small size and small data requirement."Carlisle", "Chowilla", and "BurnettRV" files These files contain hydrodynamic modelling data for training and validation for each individual case study, as well as specific Python scripts for training and running the surrogate models in each case study. There are only small differences between each folder, depending on the hydrodynamic model trying to emulate and input boundary conditions (input features).Each case study file has the following folders:Geometry_data: DEM files, .npz files containing of the high-fidelity models grid (XYZ-coordinates) and areas (Same data is available for the low-fidelity model used in the LSG model), .shp files indicating location of boundaries and main flow paths (mainly used in the LSTM-SRR model). XXX_modeldata: Folder to storage trained model data for each XXX surrogate model. For example, GP_EOF_modeldata contains files used to store the trainined GP-EOF model.HD_model_data: High-fidelity (And low-fidelity) simulation results for all flood events of that case study. This folder also contains all boundary input conditions.HF_EOF_analysis: Storing of data used in the EOF analysis. EOF analysis is applied for the LSG, GP-EOF, and LSTM-EOF surrogate models. Results_data: Storing results of running the evaluation of the surrogate models.Train_test_split_data: The train-test-validation data split is the same for all surrogate models. The specific split for each cross-validation fold is stored in this folder.And Python files:YYY_event_summary, YYY_Extrap_event_summary: Files containing overview of all events, and which events are connected between the low- and high-fidelity models for each YYY case study.EOF_analysis_HFdata_preprocessing, EOF_analysis_HFdata: Preprocessing before EOF analysis and the EOF analysis of the high-fidelity data. This is used for the LSG, GP-EOF, and LSTM-EOF surrogate models.Evaluation, Evaluation_extrap: Scripts for evaluating the surrogate model for that case study and saving the results for each cross-validation fold.train_test_split: Script for splitting the flood datasets for each cross-validation fold, so all surrogate models train on the same data.XXX_training: Script for training each XXX surrogate model.XXX_preprocessing: Some surrogate models might rely on some information that needs to be generated before training. This is performed using these scripts."Comparison_results" fileFiles used for comparing surrogate models and generate the figures in the paper "Assessment of surrogate models for flood inundation: The physics-guided LSG model vs. state-of-the-art machine learning models". Figures are also included. "Python_data" fileFolder containing Python script with utility functions for setting up, training, and running the surrogate models, as well as for evaluating the surrogate models. This folder also contains a python_environment.yml file with all Python package versions and dependencies.This folder also contains two sub-folders:LSG_mods_and_func: Python scripts for using the LSG model. Some of these scripts are also utilized when working with the other surrogate models. SRR_method_master_Zhou2021: Scripts obtained from https://github.com/yuerongz/SRR-method.

CodeParrot 🦜 Dataset Cleaned and filtered (train)

  Dataset Description

A dataset of Python files from Github. It is a more filtered version of the train split codeparrot-clean-train of codeparrot-clean. The additional filters aim at detecting configuration and test files, as well as outlier files that are unlikely to help the model learn code. The first three filters are applied with a probability of 0.7:

files with a mention of "test file" or "configuration file" or… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/codeparrot/codeparrot-train-more-filtering.

A collection of 3 referring expression datasets based off images in the COCO dataset. A referring expression is a piece of text that describes a unique object in an image. These datasets are collected by asking human raters to disambiguate objects delineated by bounding boxes in the COCO dataset.

RefCoco and RefCoco+ are from Kazemzadeh et al. 2014. RefCoco+ expressions are strictly appearance based descriptions, which they enforced by preventing raters from using location based descriptions (e.g., "person to the right" is not a valid description for RefCoco+). RefCocoG is from Mao et al. 2016, and has more rich description of objects compared to RefCoco due to differences in the annotation process. In particular, RefCoco was collected in an interactive game-based setting, while RefCocoG was collected in a non-interactive setting. On average, RefCocoG has 8.4 words per expression while RefCoco has 3.5 words.

Each dataset has different split allocations that are typically all reported in papers. The "testA" and "testB" sets in RefCoco and RefCoco+ contain only people and only non-people respectively. Images are partitioned into the various splits. In the "google" split, objects, not images, are partitioned between the train and non-train splits. This means that the same image can appear in both the train and validation split, but the objects being referred to in the image will be different between the two sets. In contrast, the "unc" and "umd" splits partition images between the train, validation, and test split. In RefCocoG, the "google" split does not have a canonical test set, and the validation set is typically reported in papers as "val*".

Stats for each dataset and split ("refs" is the number of referring expressions, and "images" is the number of images):

ds = tfds.load('ref_coco', split='train')

Overview

This dataset provides image segmentation data for feral cats, designed for computer vision and machine learning tasks. It builds upon the original public domain dataset by Paul Cashman from Roboflow, with additional preprocessing and multiple data formats for easier consumption.

Dataset Source

• Original Author: Paul Cashman
• Original Source: Roboflow Universe
• Extended by: Lu Hou Yang
• GitHub: https://github.com/luhouyang/open_circles
• License: Public Domain

Dataset Contents

The dataset is organized into three standard splits: - Train set - Validation set - Test set

Each split contains data in multiple formats: 1. Original JPG images 2. Segmentation mask JPG images 3. Parquet files containing flattened image and mask data 4. Pickle files containing serialized image and mask data

Data Formats

1. Image Files

• Format: JPG
• Resolution: 224×224 pixels

  • train/: Original training images
  • valid/: Original validation images
  • test/: Original test images
  • train_mask/: Corresponding segmentation masks for training
  • valid_mask/: Corresponding segmentation masks for validation
  • test_mask/: Corresponding segmentation masks for testing

2. Parquet Files

• Files: train_dataset.parquet, valid_dataset.parquet, test_dataset.parquet
• Content: Flattened image data and corresponding masks combined in a single table
• Structure: Each row contains the flattened pixel values of an image followed by the flattened pixel values of its mask
• Data Division: Image and mask data are split at index split_at = image_size[0] * image_size[1] * image_channels
  • Data before this index: image pixel values (reshaped to [-1, 224, 224, 3])
  • Data after this index: mask pixel values (reshaped to [-1, 224, 224, 1])
• Benefits: Efficient storage and faster loading compared to individual image files

3. Pickle Files

• Content: Serialized Python objects containing images and their corresponding masks
• Structure: List of [image, mask] pairs, where each image and mask is serialized using Python's pickle
• Data Access: Similar to parquet files, when loaded through the provided dataset class, data is split at the same index: split_at = image_size[0] * image_size[1] * image_channels
• Benefits: Preserves original data structure and enables quick loading in Python

4. CSV Files

• Files: train_dataset.csv, valid_dataset.csv, test_dataset.csv
• Content: Same data as parquet files but in CSV format
• Structure: No headers, raw flattened pixel values
• Data Division: Same split point as parquet files

Image Preprocessing

All images were preprocessed with the following operations: - Resized to 224×224 pixels using bilinear interpolation - Segmentation masks were also resized to match the images using nearest neighbor interpolation - Original RLE (Run-Length Encoding) segmentation data converted to binary masks

Data Normalization

When used with the provided PyTorch dataset class, images are normalized with: - Mean: [0.48235, 0.45882, 0.40784] - Standard Deviation: [0.00392156862745098, 0.00392156862745098, 0.00392156862745098]

PyTorch Integration

A custom CatDataset class is included for easy integration with PyTorch:

from cat_dataset import CatDataset

# Load from parquet format
dataset = CatDataset(
  root="path/to/dataset",
  split="train", # Options: "train", "valid", "test"
  format="parquet", # Options: "parquet", "pkl"
  image_size=[224, 224],
  image_channels=3,
  mask_channels=1
)

# Use with PyTorch DataLoader
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=32, shuffle=True)

Performance Comparison

Loading time benchmarks from the original implementation: - Parquet format: ~1.29 seconds per iteration - Pickle format: ~0.71 seconds per iteration

The pickle format provides the fastest loading times and is recommended for most use cases.

About this dataset

The EgoHands dataset is a collection of 4800 annotated images of human hands from a first-person view originally collected and labeled by Sven Bambach, Stefan Lee, David Crandall, and Chen Yu of Indiana University.

The dataset was captured via frames extracted from video recorded through head-mounted cameras on a Google Glass headset while peforming four activities: building a puzzle, playing chess, playing Jenga, and playing cards. There are 100 labeled frames for each of 48 video clips.

Our modifications

The original EgoHands dataset was labeled with polygons for segmentation and released in a Matlab binary format. We converted it to an object detection dataset using a modified version of this script from @molyswu and have archived it in many popular formats for use with your computer vision models.

After converting to bounding boxes for object detection, we noticed that there were several dozen unlabeled hands. We added these by hand and improved several hundred of the other labels that did not fully encompass the hands (usually to include omitted fingertips, knuckles, or thumbs). In total, 344 images' annotations were edited manually.

We chose a new random train/test split of 80% training, 10% validation, and 10% testing. Notably, this is not the same split as in the original EgoHands paper.

There are two versions of the converted dataset available: * specific is labeled with four classes: myleft, myright, yourleft, yourright representing which hand of which person (the viewer or the opponent across the table) is contained in the bounding box. * generic contains the same boxes but with a single hand class.

Motivation

The goal of introducing the Rescaled CIFAR-10 dataset is to provide a dataset that contains scale variations (up to a factor of 4), to evaluate the ability of networks to generalise to scales not present in the training data.

The Rescaled CIFAR-10 dataset was introduced in the paper:

[1] A. Perzanowski and T. Lindeberg (2025) "Scale generalisation properties of extended scale-covariant and scale-invariant Gaussian derivative networks on image datasets with spatial scaling variations”, Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, 67(29), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10851-025-01245-x.

with a pre-print available at arXiv:

[2] Perzanowski and Lindeberg (2024) "Scale generalisation properties of extended scale-covariant and scale-invariant Gaussian derivative networks on image datasets with spatial scaling variations”, arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.11140.

Importantly, the Rescaled CIFAR-10 dataset contains substantially more natural textures and patterns than the MNIST Large Scale dataset, introduced in:

[3] Y. Jansson and T. Lindeberg (2022) "Scale-invariant scale-channel networks: Deep networks that generalise to previously unseen scales", Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, 64(5): 506-536, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10851-022-01082-2

and is therefore significantly more challenging.

The data set is made available on request. If you would be interested in trying out this data set, please make a request in the system below, and we will grant you access as soon as possible.

The dataset

The Rescaled CIFAR-10 dataset is generated by rescaling 32×32 RGB images of animals and vehicles from the original CIFAR-10 dataset [4]. The scale variations are up to a factor of 4. In order to have all test images have the same resolution, mirror extension is used to extend the images to size 64x64. The imresize() function in Matlab was used for the rescaling, with default anti-aliasing turned on, and bicubic interpolation overshoot removed by clipping to the [0, 255] range. The details of how the dataset was created can be found in [1].

There are 10 distinct classes in the dataset: “airplane”, “automobile”, “bird”, “cat”, “deer”, “dog”, “frog”, “horse”, “ship” and “truck”. In the dataset, these are represented by integer labels in the range [0, 9].

The dataset is split into 40 000 training samples, 10 000 validation samples and 10 000 testing samples. The training dataset is generated using the initial 40 000 samples from the original CIFAR-10 training set. The validation dataset, on the other hand, is formed from the final 10 000 image batch of that same training set. For testing, all test datasets are built from the 10 000 images contained in the original CIFAR-10 test set.

The h5 files containing the dataset

The training dataset file (~5.9 GB) for scale 1, which also contains the corresponding validation and test data for the same scale, is:

cifar10_with_scale_variations_tr40000_vl10000_te10000_outsize64-64_scte1p000_scte1p000.h5

Additionally, for the Rescaled CIFAR-10 dataset, there are 9 datasets (~1 GB each) for testing scale generalisation at scales not present in the training set. Each of these datasets is rescaled using a different image scaling factor, 2^k/4, with k being integers in the range [-4, 4]:

cifar10_with_scale_variations_te10000_outsize64-64_scte2p000.h5

These dataset files were used for the experiments presented in Figures 9, 10, 15, 16, 20 and 24 in [1].

Instructions for loading the data set

The datasets are saved in HDF5 format, with the partitions in the respective h5 files named as
('/x_train', '/x_val', '/x_test', '/y_train', '/y_test', '/y_val'); which ones exist depends on which data split is used.

The training dataset can be loaded in Python as:

with h5py.File(`

x_train = np.array( f["/x_train"], dtype=np.float32)
x_val = np.array( f["/x_val"], dtype=np.float32)
x_test = np.array( f["/x_test"], dtype=np.float32)
y_train = np.array( f["/y_train"], dtype=np.int32)
y_val = np.array( f["/y_val"], dtype=np.int32)
y_test = np.array( f["/y_test"], dtype=np.int32)

We also need to permute the data, since Pytorch uses the format [num_samples, channels, width, height], while the data is saved as [num_samples, width, height, channels]:

x_train = np.transpose(x_train, (0, 3, 1, 2))
x_val = np.transpose(x_val, (0, 3, 1, 2))
x_test = np.transpose(x_test, (0, 3, 1, 2))

The test datasets can be loaded in Python as:

with h5py.File(`

x_test = np.array( f["/x_test"], dtype=np.float32)
y_test = np.array( f["/y_test"], dtype=np.int32)

The test datasets can be loaded in Matlab as:

x_test = h5read(`

The images are stored as [num_samples, x_dim, y_dim, channels] in HDF5 files. The pixel intensity values are not normalised, and are in a [0, 255] range.

The dataset contains pairs table-question, and the respective answer. The questions require multi-step reasoning and various data operations such as comparison, aggregation, and arithmetic computation. The tables were randomly selected among Wikipedia tables with at least 8 rows and 5 columns.

(As per the documentation usage notes)

• Dev: Mean accuracy over three (not five) splits of the training data. In other words, train on 'split-{1,2,3}-train' and test on 'split-{1,2,3}-dev', respectively, then average the accuracy.

• Test: Train on 'train' and test on 'test'.

To use this dataset:

import tensorflow_datasets as tfds

ds = tfds.load('wiki_table_questions', split='train')
for ex in ds.take(4):
 print(ex)

Data from an NIH HTS of 17K compounds against five isozymes of cytochrome P450 screening for inhibition. The activity score is taken from the NIH assay and merged with all the 2-D descriptors from the program Molecular Operating Environment (MOE). The datasets are separated by isozyme and then balanced between actives and inactives. Finally the balanced datasets are subject to an 80/20 training/test split.

Motivation

The goal of introducing the Rescaled Fashion-MNIST dataset is to provide a dataset that contains scale variations (up to a factor of 4), to evaluate the ability of networks to generalise to scales not present in the training data.

The Rescaled Fashion-MNIST dataset was introduced in the paper:

[1] A. Perzanowski and T. Lindeberg (2025) "Scale generalisation properties of extended scale-covariant and scale-invariant Gaussian derivative networks on image datasets with spatial scaling variations”, Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, 67(29), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10851-025-01245-x.

with a pre-print available at arXiv:

[2] Perzanowski and Lindeberg (2024) "Scale generalisation properties of extended scale-covariant and scale-invariant Gaussian derivative networks on image datasets with spatial scaling variations”, arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.11140.

Importantly, the Rescaled Fashion-MNIST dataset is more challenging than the MNIST Large Scale dataset, introduced in:

[3] Y. Jansson and T. Lindeberg (2022) "Scale-invariant scale-channel networks: Deep networks that generalise to previously unseen scales", Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, 64(5): 506-536, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10851-022-01082-2.

Access and rights

The Rescaled Fashion-MNIST dataset is provided on the condition that you provide proper citation for the original Fashion-MNIST dataset:

[4] Xiao, H., Rasul, K., and Vollgraf, R. (2017) “Fashion-MNIST: A novel image dataset for benchmarking machine learning algorithms”, arXiv preprint arXiv:1708.07747

and also for this new rescaled version, using the reference [1] above.

The data set is made available on request. If you would be interested in trying out this data set, please make a request in the system below, and we will grant you access as soon as possible.

The dataset

The Rescaled FashionMNIST dataset is generated by rescaling 28×28 gray-scale images of clothes from the original FashionMNIST dataset [4]. The scale variations are up to a factor of 4, and the images are embedded within black images of size 72x72, with the object in the frame always centred. The imresize() function in Matlab was used for the rescaling, with default anti-aliasing turned on, and bicubic interpolation overshoot removed by clipping to the [0, 255] range. The details of how the dataset was created can be found in [1].

There are 10 different classes in the dataset: “T-shirt/top”, “trouser”, “pullover”, “dress”, “coat”, “sandal”, “shirt”, “sneaker”, “bag” and “ankle boot”. In the dataset, these are represented by integer labels in the range [0, 9].

The dataset is split into 50 000 training samples, 10 000 validation samples and 10 000 testing samples. The training dataset is generated using the initial 50 000 samples from the original Fashion-MNIST training set. The validation dataset, on the other hand, is formed from the final 10 000 images of that same training set. For testing, all test datasets are built from the 10 000 images contained in the original Fashion-MNIST test set.

The h5 files containing the dataset

The training dataset file (~2.9 GB) for scale 1, which also contains the corresponding validation and test data for the same scale, is:

fashionmnist_with_scale_variations_tr50000_vl10000_te10000_outsize72-72_scte1p000_scte1p000.h5

Additionally, for the Rescaled FashionMNIST dataset, there are 9 datasets (~415 MB each) for testing scale generalisation at scales not present in the training set. Each of these datasets is rescaled using a different image scaling factor, 2^k/4, with k being integers in the range [-4, 4]:

fashionmnist_with_scale_variations_te10000_outsize72-72_scte0p500.h5

fashionmnist_with_scale_variations_te10000_outsize72-72_scte2p000.h5

These dataset files were used for the experiments presented in Figures 6, 7, 14, 16, 19 and 23 in [1].

Instructions for loading the data set

The datasets are saved in HDF5 format, with the partitions in the respective h5 files named as
('/x_train', '/x_val', '/x_test', '/y_train', '/y_test', '/y_val'); which ones exist depends on which data split is used.

The training dataset can be loaded in Python as:

with h5py.File(`

x_train = np.array( f["/x_train"], dtype=np.float32)
x_val = np.array( f["/x_val"], dtype=np.float32)
x_test = np.array( f["/x_test"], dtype=np.float32)
y_train = np.array( f["/y_train"], dtype=np.int32)
y_val = np.array( f["/y_val"], dtype=np.int32)
y_test = np.array( f["/y_test"], dtype=np.int32)

We also need to permute the data, since Pytorch uses the format [num_samples, channels, width, height], while the data is saved as [num_samples, width, height, channels]:

x_train = np.transpose(x_train, (0, 3, 1, 2))
x_val = np.transpose(x_val, (0, 3, 1, 2))
x_test = np.transpose(x_test, (0, 3, 1, 2))

The test datasets can be loaded in Python as:

with h5py.File(`

x_test = np.array( f["/x_test"], dtype=np.float32)
y_test = np.array( f["/y_test"], dtype=np.int32)

The test datasets can be loaded in Matlab as:

x_test = h5read(`

The images are stored as [num_samples, x_dim, y_dim, channels] in HDF5 files. The pixel intensity values are not normalised, and are in a [0, 255] range.

There is also a closely related Fashion-MNIST with translations dataset, which in addition to scaling variations also comprises spatial translations of the objects.

COCO is a large-scale object detection, segmentation, and captioning dataset.

Note: * Some images from the train and validation sets don't have annotations. * Coco 2014 and 2017 uses the same images, but different train/val/test splits * The test split don't have any annotations (only images). * Coco defines 91 classes but the data only uses 80 classes. * Panotptic annotations defines defines 200 classes but only uses 133.
