Data Structure

Data is saved in HDF5 Format in the following general structure. Note that single arm tasks are missing a few of these folders.

Data Recombination

Since HuggingFace has a limit on single file size, you must recombine the data to obtain the full dataset for certain HDF5 files.

After downloading the split files, follow this guide.

Merging Instructions:

Navigate to the Download Directory:
```
cd path_to_downloaded_files
```
Merge Files Using cat:

Use the cat command to concatenate the split parts. Replace filename.part_* with your actual file name.
```
cat filename.part_* > filename.tar
```
Example:
```
cat DexWild_Data.part_* > DexWild_Data.tar
```
Verify the Merged File:

Ensure that the merged file size matches the original file size before merging. You can use the ls -lh command to check file sizes.
```
ls -lh DexWild_Data.tar
```
Extract the Dataset:

Once merged, extract the dataset using the tar command:
```
tar -xvf DexWild_Data.tar
```
