| ## Dataset Summary | |
| This repository contains an annotated dataset of 995 images, categorized into 268 Landscape, 341 Culture, and 386 Street. Each image is accompanied by a description, location, and category. The dataset supports tasks such as image captioning, image-text retrieval, and text-to-image generation, making it a valuable resource. | |
| ## Thematic Chosen | |
| This dataset includes three thematic categories: | |
| - **Landscape**: Focuses on natural and architectural elements. | |
| - **Culture**: Highlights traditions and social practices. | |
| - **Street**: Covers urban environments and public spaces. | |
| These themes provide a comprehensive and diverse dataset. | |
| ## Supported Tasks | |
| - **Image Captioning**: The dataset can be used to train a model that automatically generates a description from an image. | |
| - **Image-Text Retrieval**: It can also be used for multimodal search models, linking images and text to retrieve one based on the other. | |
| - **Text-to-Image Generation**: The dataset enables training a model that creates images from textual descriptions. | |
| ## File Format | |
| The dataset is provided in the Parquet format, ensuring efficient storage and access. | |
| ## Organisation of the Project | |
| The project is organized under the main directory **Sophistasia**. Inside, there is a **data** folder containing a **train** subfolder with the **data.parquet** file. The **images** folder is divided into two sections: | |
| - **brutes** (with subfolders **culture**, **landscape**, **street** for the original images) | |
| - **resized** (containing the same subfolders for the resized images). | |
| A **readme.md** file is also included with project information. | |
| ## Field Description | |
| The descriptions of the fields are as follows: | |
| - **image**: A string that represents the filename of the image listed in the "image" folder | |
| - **caption**: A string containing a concise description of the scene depicted in the image. | |
| - **Location**: A string specifying the original location where the image was taken or what it represents. | |
| - **category**: A string indicating the category to which the image belongs. | |
| ## Image Sources | |
| The images in this dataset were either: | |
| - Captured by our team members. | |
| - Sourced from copyright-free platforms like Pexels, ensuring they are royalty-free and available for use. | |
