+# Seg-Zero Dataset: Reasoning-Chain Guided Segmentation via Cognitive Reinforcement
+
+This repository hosts the training dataset introduced in the paper [Seg-Zero: Reasoning-Chain Guided Segmentation via Cognitive Reinforcement](https://huggingface.co/papers/2503.06520).
+
+## Abstract
+Traditional methods for reasoning segmentation rely on supervised fine-tuning with categorical labels and simple descriptions, limiting its out-of-domain generalization and lacking explicit reasoning processes. To address these limitations, we propose Seg-Zero, a novel framework that demonstrates remarkable generalizability and derives explicit chain-of-thought reasoning through cognitive reinforcement. Seg-Zero introduces a decoupled architecture consisting of a reasoning model and a segmentation model. The reasoning model interprets user intentions, generates explicit reasoning chains, and produces positional prompts, which are subsequently used by the segmentation model to generate precious pixel-level masks. We design a sophisticated reward mechanism that integrates both format and accuracy rewards to effectively guide optimization directions. Trained exclusively via reinforcement learning with GRPO and without explicit reasoning data, Seg-Zero achieves robust zero-shot generalization and exhibits emergent test-time reasoning capabilities. Experiments show that Seg-Zero-7B achieves a zero-shot performance of 57.5 on the ReasonSeg benchmark, surpassing the prior LISA-7B by 18%. This significant improvement highlights Seg-Zero's ability to generalize across domains while presenting an explicit reasoning process.

+## Dataset Description
+This dataset is designed for training and evaluating models on reasoning-chain guided image segmentation tasks. It contains `2000` examples in the `train` split, with each entry comprising:
+- `id`: Unique identifier for the sample.
+- `problem`: The reasoning problem or question.
+- `solution`: The explicit reasoning chain or solution.
+- `image`: The input image.
+- `img_height`: Height of the image.
+- `img_width`: Width of the image.
+
+## Key Features of Seg-Zero (Associated Framework)
+This dataset supports the Seg-Zero framework, which demonstrates the following key features:
+1.  **Emergent Test-Time Reasoning**: Seg-Zero exhibits emergent test-time reasoning ability. It generates a reasoning chain before producing the final segmentation mask.
+2.  **Reinforcement Learning Only**: Seg-Zero is trained exclusively using reinforcement learning, without any explicit supervised reasoning data.
+3.  **Superior Generalization**: Compared to supervised fine-tuning, Seg-Zero achieves superior performance on both in-domain and out-of-domain data.
+
+## Sample Usage
+You can load the dataset using the Hugging Face `datasets` library:
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+# Load the training split of the Seg-Zero dataset
+dataset = load_dataset("Ricky06662/Seg-Zero", split="train")
+
+# Access the first example
+print(dataset[0])
+
+# Example of accessing image and problem statement
+print(f"Problem: {dataset[0]['problem']}")
+dataset[0]['image'].save("first_image.png")
+print("First image saved as first_image.png")
+```
