World Embedding Optics Retrieval
World Embedding Optics Retrieval is the optics and electromagnetism retrieval split of the World Embedding Benchmark. It contains 2,700 simulation videos from 27 physics families. The family shards are loaded together as the default configuration.
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset(
"World-Representation-Lab/World-Embedding-Optics-Retrieval",
split="test",
)
Fields
query_id: unique text-query identifier.case_id: simulation case identifier.raw_text: structured physical description.parsed_text: natural-language retrieval caption.video: simulation video.
The benchmark uses parsed_text for text-video retrieval.
