Document Haystack Dataset
This repository contains the dataset for the paper “Document Haystack: A Long Context Multimodal Image/Document Understanding Vision LLM Benchmark”.
📑 Abstract Paper
The proliferation of multimodal Large Language Models has significantly advanced the ability to analyze and understand complex data inputs from different modalities. However, the processing of long documents remains under-explored, largely due to a lack of suitable benchmarks.

Multilingual Needle in a Haystack (MLNeedle)
The MultiLingual Needle-in-a-Haystack (MLNeedle) test is a dataset designed to assess how well Large Language Models (LLMs) find specific information ("needle") within long, multilingual texts ("haystack"). Built on MLQA, it contains over 5,000 extractive question-answer instances across seven languages (English, Arabic, German, Spanish, Hindi, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese). We systematically vary the "needle's" language and position to… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/ameyhengle/Multilingual-Needle-in-a-Haystack.capture24-ts-haystack-cotuk-dale-haystack
UK-DALE-Haystack
A controlled additive-needle benchmark for long-context time-series language
models built on top of UK-DALE (Kelly & Knottenbelt, 2015), the canonical
UK domestic appliance-level + whole-house power demand dataset.
Each sample is a 6-second-sampled mains active-power trace with one or more
real per-appliance bouts inserted at known locations. A QA prompt asks the
model to detect, count, localize, order, or reason about those bouts across
five context lengths from 15… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/nz00shuuuu/uk-dale-haystack.visual_haystacks
Visual Haystacks Dataset Card
Dataset details
Dataset type: Visual Haystacks (VHs) is a benchmark dataset specifically designed to evaluate the Large Multimodal Model's (LMM's) capability to handle long-context visual information. It can also be viewed as the first vision-centric Needle-In-A-Haystack (NIAH) benchmark dataset. Please also download COCO-2017's training set validation set.

Capture24 TS-Haystack — Fixed Needle Length
Long-context retrieval / reasoning benchmark over Capture24 wrist-worn
accelerometer recordings, used in Recursive Agents are Effective Time Series
Reasoners (ARTS-RLM).
This repository supersedes
nz00shuuuu/capture24-ts-haystack-cot

Fixed (absolute-ms) needle length of 3–10 s across every context length
instead of needles that scale with context. With a 7200 s haystack the

Dataset Card for "anti-haystack"
This dataset contains samples that resemble the "Needle in a haystack" pressure testing. It can be helpful if you want to make your LLM better at finding/locating short facts from long documents.
Data Structure
Each sample has the following fields:
document: A long and noisy reference document which can be a story, code, book, or manual in both English and Chinese (10%).
question: A question generated with GPT-4. The answer can always be… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/wenbopan/anti-haystack.HaystackID_MQP_2025-2026medrag-pubmed-chunk-with-embeddingsurbansound-haystack
Urban-Sound-Haystack
A long-context urban-audio QA benchmark across 10 task types and
4 context lengths (100 s, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h). Each soundscape is
synthesised by Scaper from
UrbanSound8K foreground events over TUT acoustic-scene backgrounds, sampled
at 16 kHz mono PCM_32. Two of the ten tasks
(anomaly_detection, anomaly_localization) draw from a parallel pool
where every soundscape contains exactly one out-of-vocabulary event from
ESC-50 (glass_breaking or crying_baby).
