Language-annotated Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus

Language-annotated Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (LARC)

This repository contains the language annotated data with supporting assets for LARC

"How can we build intelligent systems that achieve human-level performance on challenging and structured domains (like ARC), with or without additional human guidance? We posit the answer may be found in studying natural programs - instructions humans give to each other to communicate how to solve a task. Like a computer program, these instructions can be reliably "executed" by others to produce intended outputs."

A comprehensive view of this dataset and its goals can be found in Communicating Natural Programs to Humans and Machines

Annotations in LARC takes the form of a communication game, where one participant, the describer solves an ARC task and describes the solution to a different participant, the builder, who must solve the task on the new input using the description alone.

The entire dataset can be browsed at the explorer interface or by downloading the project and run python3 -m http.server from the root directory and point to localhost:8000/explore/ from your browser.
