Request: Test Split Expressions and Annotations

[akramsalim]

Summary:
I am using the Refer-KITTI-V2 dataset for my master's thesis research on Vision-Language Models for referring multi-object
tracking in autonomous driving. I would like to request access to the test split expressions and annotations to properly
evaluate my model according to the dataset's intended evaluation protocol.

Background:

• The Refer-KITTI-V2 paper mentions a train/val/test split
• Currently, the repository provides:
  • Training split: expressions and annotations available (i used part of it as a validation split)
  • Test split: only images available (no expressions/annotations)

Request:
Could you please provide or make available:

1. Test split referring expressions (JSON files in expressions/ directory)
2. Test split annotations/labels (TXT files in labels/ directory)

Use Case:

• Research Purpose: Master's thesis on fine-tuning Qwen2.5-VL for RMOT
• Evaluation Need: Following the paper's evaluation protocol requires test split metrics
• Academic Use Only: Results will be used in thesis and potential publication with proper citation

Alternative:
If the test split annotations are intentionally held out for leaderboard/benchmark purposes, please let me know:

• Is there an evaluation server where I can submit predictions?

Thank you for creating and maintaining this valuable dataset! Any guidance on the proper evaluation protocol would be greatly
appreciated.
