We introduce the PODS (Personal Object Discrimination Suite) dataset, a new benchmark for personalized vision tasks.

## PODS
The PODS dataset is new a benchmark for personalized vision tasks. It includes:
* 100 common household objects from 5 semantic categories
* 4 tasks (classification, retrieval, segmentation, detection)
* 4 test splits with different distribution shifts.
* 71-201 test images per instance with classification label annotations.
* 12 test images per instance (3 per split) with segmentation annotations.

Metadata is stored in two files:
* `pods_info.json`:
  * `classes`: A list of class names
  * `class_to_idx`: Mapping of each class to an integer id
  * `class_to_sc`: Mapping of each class to a broad, single-word semantic category
  * `class_to_split`: Mapping of each class to the `val` or `test` split.
* `pods_image_annos.json`: Maps every image ID to its class and test split (one of `[train, objects, pose, all]`)    

## Using PODS

### Loading the dataset using HuggingFace

To load the dataset using HuggingFace `datasets`, install the library by `pip install datasets`

```
from datasets import load_dataset

pods_dataset = load_dataset("chaenayo/PODS") 
```
You can also specify a split by:
```
pods_dataset = load_dataset("chaenayo/PODS", split="train") # or "test" or "test_dense"
```

### Loading the dataset directly

PODS can also be directly downloaded via command:
```
wget https://data.csail.mit.edu/personal_rep/pods.zip
```
