The annotation process includes four steps: - (1) **Stage I: Instruction Writing**: writing instructions for each task; - (2) **Stage II: Data Format Unification**: structuring images and texts into a unified schema; - (3) **Stage III: Quality Check**: checking the overall dataset quality; - (4) **Stage IV: Key Datasets Translation**: building multilingual sets. #### Who are the annotators? Three authors of this work are employed as human annotators, each of whom is a graduate student familiar with relevant literature. ## Additional Information ### Licensing Information The content of original dataset follows their original license. We suggest that for the task with Unknown/Custom license, the user can check the original project or contact the dataset owner for detailed license information.
