# GameBind

Data for **GameBind**, a controlled benchmark that measures whether a vision-language
model binds an action to the correct object. It separates three abilities a single
accuracy number blends together: recognizing the object, recognizing the action, and
binding the action to the correct object, and reports the binding-gap diagnostic
`min(Acc_object, Acc_action) - Acc_binding`.

This is an anonymous release accompanying a paper under review.

## Subsets

- **gamebind/** — main 2D release: 1000 procedurally generated BabyAI- and
  Crafter-style clips, 9668 questions. Includes the rendered keyframes and clips we
  generated, plus `clips.json`, `qa.json`, `summary.json`.
- **gamebind_difficulty/** — distractor-count sweep (single keyframe), matched
  multiple-choice probes.
- **gamebind_difficulty_video/** — the same sweep rendered as short videos, so the
  action is depicted.
- **gamebind_real/** — real-photograph probe built from V-COCO human-object
  interactions. **Metadata only** (`clips.json`, `qa.json`): each clip references a
  COCO 2014 `image_id`. Fetch the images from COCO
  (`http://images.cocodataset.org/val2014/COCO_val2014_{image_id:012d}.jpg`); they are
  not redistributed here.
- **gamebind_alfred/** — ALFRED 3D keyframe pilot. **Metadata only**: images come
  from the ALFRED dataset and are not redistributed here.

## Question format

Each entry in `qa.json` has a `qa_type` (`object`, `action`, `binding`, `object_mc`,
`action_mc`, `binding_mc`, `minimal_pair`, `distractor`, `perception`), the question,
the gold `answer`, and (for multiple choice) the `choices`. Clips in `clips.json`
carry the domain, action, object, distractors, and frame or video paths.

## Licensing and attribution

The GameBind annotations and the synthetic BabyAI/Crafter-style renders in this
repository are released under CC-BY-4.0. The `gamebind_real` subset contains only
annotations that reference COCO images (via V-COCO); the COCO photographs themselves
are not included and remain under their original licenses. The `gamebind_alfred`
subset contains only metadata derived from the ALFRED dataset. Please cite COCO,
V-COCO, and ALFRED if you use those subsets.
