Description

Laion Aesthetics 12M UMAP is a dataset of 2D embeddings generated by UMAP using CLIP vectors from an aesthetic subset of the LAION corpus. It includes 3 projections with different values of the n_neighbors parameter, offering multiple perspectives for analysis and visualization.

What is this dataset for?

  • Visualization and clustering of images according to their aesthetic quality
  • Exploring large image sets by similarity
  • Image research and creation of recommendation systems based on aesthetics

Can it be enriched or improved?

This dataset can be enriched by integrating additional metadata or by combining with other embeddings to improve the granularity of analyses. Human or automatic annotations on aesthetics could also complete the corpus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UMAP in this dataset?

UMAP is a dimensional reduction technique that projects CLIP embeddings in 2D to facilitate visualization and clustering.

How many different projections are available?

Three projections with n_neighbors equal to 10, 30 and 60, offering several perspectives for analysis.

Does this dataset contain the original images?

No, it only contains the UMAP embeddings of the images, not the images themselves.
