Train/test/validation split query

[Kishan Shukla]

Dear LVIS team,

I am a student who is interested in using your LVIS dataset for my research in object detection. 

I am also looking at other datasets and had a question regarding the overlap between the LVIS and COCO benchmarks, and was wondering if you could help.

Are the images in the LVIS train, test and validation sets the same images that you would find in the respective COCO train, test and validation? In other words, would an image in the training set of LVIS also be in the training set of COCO?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Kishan
