SAT train split: dynamic spatial questions

A re-packaged subset of the train split of SAT (Spatial Aptitude Training, Ray et al.). It holds the 41,619 dynamic questions of SAT_train.parquet with their 58,919 images, extracted from the parquet file into image files. Questions, answers and images are unchanged; nothing is added.

Contents

Path	Content
questions.jsonl	41,619 rows, one per question
images-000.tar, images-001.tar	58,919 images (56,465 JPEG, 2,454 PNG), member paths images/<row>_<k>.<jpg or png> (uncompressed tar)
files.tsv	every image: path, bytes, sha256, tar file
LICENSE	the MIT license text

Fields of questions.jsonl:

Field	Meaning
id	sat-train-<row>
row	0-based row index in SAT_train.parquet at the revision above
question_type	action_consequence (15,100), action_sequence (10,370), obj_movement (6,930), goal_aim (6,765), perspective (2,454)
question	upstream question, unchanged
answers	upstream answers (the answer choices), unchanged and in upstream order
correct_answer	upstream correct_answer, unchanged
images	paths of the row's images (1 or 2), in upstream order

The upstream card asks users to randomize the order of the answer choices when presenting them to a model; this copy keeps the upstream order.

Processing

1. Downloaded SAT_train.parquet at the pinned revision.
2. Kept the rows whose question_type is one of the five dynamic types above: 41,619 of the 172,384 rows. The 130,765 rows of type other (static questions) are left out.
3. Wrote each element of image_bytes to images/<row>_<k>.<ext> (<row> zero-padded to 6 digits, <k> the position in the list, <ext> from the image's format). The bytes are the upstream bytes: no re-encoding, resizing or filtering. Identical images that upstream stores under different rows stay separate files.
4. Copied question, answers, question_type and correct_answer unchanged, and added id, row and images.
5. Packed the images, sorted by path, into two uncompressed tar files of at most 1 GB each.

No question or answer was edited, generated or filtered by a model.

Split

Training data only: every row comes from the SAT train split (SAT_train.parquet). Nothing from SAT_static.parquet, SAT_val.parquet or the real-image test split (SAT_test.parquet) is included.
