# TechnicalWireframeGym

Benchmark dataset for evaluating VLMs on US design patent figure conventions.

**GitHub:** [hamidahoderinwale/TechnicalWireframeGym](https://github.com/hamidahoderinwale/TechnicalWireframeGym)

Built from [IMPACT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AI4Patents/IMPACT) (3.6M design patent figures, 2007–2022) enriched with [PatentsView](https://patentsview.org/) drawing descriptions.

## Contents

| Path | Description |
|---|---|
| `data/enriched_{year}.parquet` | 16 years of figures with drawing descriptions (2007–2022) |
| `data/eval_sample.parquet` | 800-patent evaluation split |
| `embeddings/{year}_vitl14.parquet` | CLIP ViT-L/14 embeddings, all 16 years (~2.5M figures) |
| `results/*.json` | Eval results per task and condition |
| `status/embeddings.json` | Provenance: completion records per year |

## Enriched parquet schema

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `patent_id` | string | USPTO design patent number |
| `patent_title` | string | Patent title |
| `figure_number` | int | Figure index (0-based) |
| `n_figures_in_patent` | int | Total figures in patent |
| `drawing_description` | string | Drawing description from PatentsView |
| `locarno_class` | string | Locarno classification |
| `patent_date` | string | Grant date |
| `year` | int | Grant year |

## Benchmark tasks
