+# ReasonSeg Test Dataset
+
+This repository contains the **ReasonSeg Test Dataset**, which serves as an evaluation benchmark for the paper [Seg-Zero: Reasoning-Chain Guided Segmentation via Cognitive Reinforcement](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.06520).
+
+**Code:** [https://github.com/dvlab-research/Seg-Zero](https://github.com/dvlab-research/Seg-Zero)

+## Paper Abstract
+
+Traditional methods for reasoning segmentation rely on supervised fine-tuning with categorical labels and simple descriptions, limiting its out-of-domain generalization and lacking explicit reasoning processes. To address these limitations, we propose Seg-Zero, a novel framework that demonstrates remarkable generalizability and derives explicit chain-of-thought reasoning through cognitive reinforcement. Seg-Zero introduces a decoupled architecture consisting of a reasoning model and a segmentation model. The reasoning model interprets user intentions, generates explicit reasoning chains, and produces positional prompts, which are subsequently used by the segmentation model to generate precious pixel-level masks. We design a sophisticated reward mechanism that integrates both format and accuracy rewards to effectively guide optimization directions. Trained exclusively via reinforcement learning with GRPO and without explicit reasoning data, Seg-Zero achieves robust zero-shot generalization and exhibits emergent test-time reasoning capabilities. Experiments show that Seg-Zero-7B achieves a zero-shot performance of 57.5 on the ReasonSeg benchmark, surpassing the prior LISA-7B by 18%. This significant improvement highlights Seg-Zero's ability to generalize across domains while presenting an explicit reasoning process.

+
+Seg-Zero demonstrates the following features:
+1.  Seg-Zero exhibits emergent test-time reasoning ability. It generates a reasoning chain before producing the final segmentation mask.
+2.  Seg-Zero is trained exclusively using reinforcement learning, without any explicit supervised reasoning data.
+3.  Compared to supervised fine-tuning, our Seg-Zero achieves superior performance on both in-domain and out-of-domain data.

+
+## Sample Usage: Evaluation
+
+This dataset (`ReasonSeg-Test`) is designed for evaluating the zero-shot performance of models like Seg-Zero on reasoning-based image segmentation tasks.
+
+First, install the necessary dependencies for the Seg-Zero project:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dvlab-research/Seg-Zero.git
+cd Seg-Zero
+conda create -n visionreasoner python=3.12
+conda activate visionreasoner
+pip install torch==2.6.0 torchvision==0.21.0
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+Then, you can run evaluation using the provided scripts. Make sure to download pretrained models first:
+
+```bash
+mkdir pretrained_models
+cd pretrained_models
+git lfs install
+git clone https://huggingface.co/Ricky06662/VisionReasoner-7B
+```
+
+With the pretrained models downloaded, you can run the evaluation script for ReasonSeg:
+
+```bash
+bash evaluation_scripts/eval_reasonseg_visionreasoner.sh
+```
+
+Adjust `'--batch_size'` in the bash scripts based on your GPU. You will see the gIoU in your command line.

+
+## The GRPO Algorithm
+
+Seg-Zero generates several samples, calculates the rewards and then optimizes towards samples that achieve higher rewards.
