Splits

The unit is the scene, never a frame: an episode's frames differ by one click, so splitting them apart tests memorisation.

What is held out, and what it cost

A held-out split is not a dial. Its size is the footprint of the attribute, because a valid "unseen X" claim needs every scene containing X out of training — not only the scenes you want to test on.

axis held out observations asks
test_app gnome-system-monitor 11,350 an unseen category
pluma 15,733 an unseen instance beside three seen text editors
xarchiver 15,221 an unseen instance beside file-roller
test_theme quartz_night_nord 46,730 unseen desktop chrome
test_resolution retina_2880x1800 69,213 unseen scale and aspect ratio

eog was a fourth candidate — the unseen category "image viewer". It is not held out: it appears in 109,454 observations against 11,352 for gnome-system-monitor, and both answer the same question. Dropping it returned 94,326 observations to training and gave up no claim the design still makes.

retina_2880x1800 is not the cheapest resolution — uhd_3840x2160 is, at 4.83% against 7.06%. UHD is the densest supervision in the corpus, with the smallest text and the most elements per screen, and training needs it more than the split does. Of the candidates that leave UHD in training, 2880×1800 is both the cheapest and the sharper test: it is one of only two 16:10 resolutions, so holding it out leaves training a single 16:10 scale.

Zero leakage, and how it is checked

Over the union of applications across every frame of a scene. One capture of a scene can miss an application another capture of it saw; keying on a single frame is exactly how three held-out applications leaked into train in an earlier build. The union is taken over publishable frames only, since a frame the release drops cannot leak — one scene turned on that distinction, where the held-out application launched only in a copy that failed quality checks.

scripts/verify_hf_release.py re-checks this against the packed payload and fails the release if any held-out attribute reaches train.

Scenes the finalized split never placed

splits_v3.jsonl covers the 1,067,799 state-train-eligible observations. This release carries every publishable observation, 1,207,368, so 12,515 scenes needed a split it never assigned. They get one from the same rules in the same priority (test_app, then test_theme, then test_resolution, else train), and every existing v3 assignment is preserved exactly — verified per split.

val and test_id are never enlarged. They are a finalized random sample; growing them after the fact would change what a number measured against them means.

Occlusion is a reporting axis, not a split

Holding out occluded scenes would remove the capability the corpus exists to demonstrate. Report it as a degradation curve over test_id instead:

occluded ratio share of observations
none 2.3%
0–10% 15.6%
10–25% 27.5%
25%+ 54.6%

Median 0.284, p90 0.743, p99 0.930. Window count is available as n_windows for the same purpose.
