If you haven’t already, install FiftyOne:

```bash
pip install -U fiftyone
```

## Usage

```python
import fiftyone as fo
from fiftyone.utils.huggingface import load_from_hub

dataset = load_from_hub("Voxel51/visual_ai_at_neurips2025")

# Launch the App
session = fo.launch_app(dataset)
```

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

This dataset contains NeurIPS 2025 accepted papers focused on computer vision and related fields, enriched with arXiv metadata and first-page images. It includes papers from multiple vision-related categories including Computer Vision (cs.CV), Multimedia (cs.MM), Image and Video Processing (eess.IV), Graphics (cs.GR), and Robotics (cs.RO). Each entry includes paper metadata, abstracts, author information, and a high-resolution (500 DPI) PNG image of the paper’s first page.

- **Curated by:** Harpreet Sahota
- **Language(s) (NLP):** en
- **License:** Apache 2.0

### Dataset Sources

- **Original Data Source:** NeurIPS 2025 Conference (https://neurips.cc/virtual/2025/calendar)
- **arXiv API:** https://arxiv.org/

## Uses

### Direct Use

This dataset is suitable for:

- Analyzing trends in computer vision research at NeurIPS 2025
- Vision-Language Model (VLM) analysis of paper content
- OCR and text extraction from academic papers
- Building search and recommendation systems for academic papers
- Studying paper formatting, structure, and visual presentation
- Training models to understand academic paper layouts

### Out-of-Scope Use

This dataset should not be used for:

- Representing the complete NeurIPS 2025 corpus (only vision-related papers with arXiv IDs)
- Papers without arXiv IDs are not included
- Full paper content analysis (only first pages are included)
- Citation analysis (references are not included)

## Dataset Structure

The dataset contains the following fields:

- **filepath**: Path to the first-page PNG image (500 DPI)
- **type**: Paper presentation type (e.g., “Poster”, “Oral”)
- **name**: Paper title
- **virtualsite_url**: URL to the paper on NeurIPS virtual site
- **abstract**: Paper abstract
- **arxiv_id**: arXiv identifier (e.g., “2301.12345v2”)
- **arxiv_authors**: List of paper authors from arXiv
- **arxiv_category**: Classification field with paper category (cs.CV, cs.MM, eess.IV, cs.GR, or cs.RO)

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

This dataset was created to provide a focused collection of vision-related papers from NeurIPS 2025 with high-quality first-page images for multimodal analysis. The motivation was to enable researchers and practitioners to:

1. Analyze paper content using Vision-Language Models
2. Study trends in computer vision research
3. Build tools for academic paper understanding

### Source Data

#### Data Collection and Processing

1. **Initial Collection**: Paper metadata scraped from NeurIPS 2025 virtual conference site
2. **arXiv Matching**: Papers matched with arXiv using title and author matching algorithms
3. **Category Filtering**: Filtered to include only vision-related categories (cs.CV, cs.MM, eess.IV, cs.GR, cs.RO) with valid arXiv IDs
4. **PDF Download**: First pages downloaded from arXiv (https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxiv_id}.pdf)
5. **Image Conversion**: PDFs converted to PNG images at 500 DPI using pdf2image
6. **Quality**: 500 DPI ensures readability of 10pt font common in academic papers

#### Who are the source data producers?

- **NeurIPS 2025 Conference**: Original paper metadata and acceptance decisions
- **arXiv**: Paper PDFs and metadata
- **Paper Authors**: Original paper content

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

The `arxiv_category` field represents the primary arXiv category assigned by paper authors during submission. No additional manual annotations were added.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

**Limitations:**

- Only includes papers with arXiv IDs (some NeurIPS papers may not be on arXiv)
- Only includes first page (no full paper content)
- Limited to specific vision-related categories
- arXiv matching may have errors or mismatches
- Images are high resolution (500 DPI) resulting in larger file sizes

**Biases:**

- Excludes papers without arXiv presence
- May underrepresent certain research areas or institutions with different publication practices
- Category classification reflects author self-assignment on arXiv

### Recommendations

Users should be made aware that:

- This is not a complete representation of NeurIPS 2025 papers
- arXiv matching was automated and may contain errors
- Only first pages are available (for full papers, refer to arXiv or NeurIPS proceedings)
- High DPI images require significant storage space
