SPARC VQA

SPARC VQA is the generated spatial VQA training dataset used in the SPARC Qwen3.5 model releases. Each example embeds its image bytes and includes a question, answer, task type, target type, source dataset identifier, split, and JSON metadata.

Raw unfiltered corpus: https://huggingface.co/datasets/irl-kit/SPARC-VQA-Raw

Ready-to-train split

Use train_filtered_t097_mpo700.parquet for SPARC-only training. This is the processed, release-ready dataset: it contains the exact 284,909 examples retained by the release configuration and needs no further SPARC filtering:

• —selected_start_score >= 0.97
• —sorted by selected_start_score in descending order before diversity selection
• —a maximum of 700 (source, trajectory_name, subtask_index) groups per normalized object name
• —vacant-goal and vacant-start examples mentioning gripper excluded

For the unfiltered 838,211-example source corpus, use irl-kit/SPARC-VQA-Raw. The raw repository contains train.parquet, the exact export_sparc_training_subset.py postprocessing script, release_mixture.yaml, and instructions for obtaining this processed dataset or creating a custom filtered variant.

Data schema

Mixtures

FSD, RoboPoint, LLaVA-OneVision2, and EO-1.5M are external datasets and should be retrieved from their upstream releases under their respective terms. The released models are Qwen3.5-4B, Qwen3.5-0.8B-VTFT, and Qwen3.5-9B-EO.

Prompting compatibility

The released models are sensitive to output formatting. Use each model's bundled chat template with a single user turn containing the image followed by the question. For point prediction, use this suffix:

Output the point coordinates in JSON format like [{"point_2d": [x, y], "label": "target"}]. Use integer coordinates between 0 and 1000.

For trajectories or multiple points, use this suffix:

Return only a JSON list like [{"point_2d": [x1, y1], "label": "point_1"}, {"point_2d": [x2, y2], "label": "point_2"}, ...]. Use integer coordinates between 0 and 1000.
