# LLaVA Visual Instruct CC3M 595K Pretrain Dataset Card

## Dataset details

**Dataset type:**
LLaVA Visual Instruct CC3M Pretrain 595K is a subset of CC-3M dataset, filtered with a more balanced concept coverage distribution.
Captions are also associated with [BLIP synthetic caption](https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP#pre-training-datasets-download) for reference.
It is constructed for the pretraining stage for feature alignment in visual instruction tuning.
We aim to build large multimodal towards GPT-4 vision/language capability.

**Dataset date:**
LLaVA Visual Instruct CC3M Pretrain 595K was created in April 2023.

**Dataset structure:**
- `chat.json` contains the multimodal synthesized conversation from the image-caption pairs, by adding randomly selected instructions like: "Describe this image".  It is used for pretraining in LLaVA.  We use the raw CC-3M caption as the default answer.
- `metadata.json` contains the meta data of the image index in CC-3M, image file name, image URL, original CC-3M caption, synthetic BLIP caption.  Note that ~10% of the samples are not associated with BLIP caption yet in this release.
- `images.zip` contains all raw images of the filtered subset from CC-3M. **Important notice: Upon the request from the community, as ~15% images of the original CC-3M dataset are no longer accessible, we upload `images.zip` for better reproducing our work in research community. It should not be used for any other purpose. The use of these images must comply with the CC-3M license. This may be taken down when requested by the original CC-3M dataset owner or owners of the referenced images.**
