LAION Art EN Improved Captions
LAION Art EN Improved Captions is a dataset of artistic images combined with improved English descriptions via a state-of-the-art model, designed to improve the semantic image-text relationship in image generation tasks.
Description
LAION Art EN Improved Captions contains over 2.6 million image-caption pairs in English, with descriptions generated and refined by an advanced model (Salesforce/blip2-flan-t5-XXL). This dataset makes it easy to fine-tune text-based image-generating models and create powerful prompt databases.
What is this dataset for?
- Fine-tuning text-to-image generators (ex: Stable Diffusion)
- Creation of searchable prompt databases for image generation
- Improving the semantic quality between images and descriptions
Can it be enriched or improved?
The dataset can be enriched by adding captions in other languages, or by manually correcting descriptions for specific cases. Advanced indexing (e.g. Faiss) allows a better search in the prompt database.
