Overview

To prepare the dataset for training, we store the image-caption pairs as TFRecords.

This HuggingFace dataset contains the TFRecords corresponding to the places365-challenge2016 dataset at 512×512 resolution. Concretely, we only retain raw images with a shorter edge of at least 512 pixels, center-crop them to squares, resize them to 512×512, and randomly subsample the resulting dataset to 1M images.

It also serves as an example of what a dataset processed using our data processing pipeline looks like.

You can find processed TFRecords for other datasets and resolutions here.

Structure

dataset-train.tfrecord-*-of-00128 are TFRecord shards, where 128 is the total number of shards.
dataset_info.json and features.json are TFDS metadata files needed by tfds.builder_from_directory(...) to load and decode the dataset correctly.
