Description
RealSyn100m is a vision-language dataset containing up to 100 million examples of images associated with realistic and synthetic texts. It uses an advanced pipeline for extracting real world data and synthetic text generation to improve semantic diversity and richness.
What is this dataset for?
- Pre-train or refine large-scale multimodal models (e.g. CLIP and variants)
- Improve the detailed understanding and representation of images with varied texts
- Allow better generalization on rare concepts thanks to semantic balancing
Can it be enriched or improved?
The dataset can be enriched by adding new sources of images or texts, or by generating synthetic texts adapted to specific contexts. The additional annotation can refine the granularity of image-text associations.
