Dataset Card for Danish WIT

Dataset Summary

Google presented the Wikipedia Image Text (WIT) dataset in July 2021, a dataset which contains scraped images from Wikipedia along with their descriptions. WikiMedia released WIT-Base in September 2021, being a modified version of WIT where they have removed the images with empty "reference descriptions", as well as removing images where a person's face covers more than 10% of the image surface, along with inappropriate images that are candidate for deletion. This dataset is the Danish portion of the WIT-Base dataset, consisting of roughly 160,000 images with associated Danish descriptions. We release the dataset under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, in accordance with WIT-Base's identical license.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Training machine learning models for caption generation, zero-shot image classification and text-image search are the intended tasks for this dataset. No leaderboard is active at this point.

Languages

The dataset is available in Danish (da).

Data Splits

Roughly 2.60% of the WIT-Base dataset comes from the Danish Wikipedia. We have split the resulting 168,740 samples into a training set, validation set and testing set of the following sizes:

split	samples
train	167,460
val	256
test	1,024

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

It is quite cumbersome to extract the Danish portion of the WIT-Base dataset, especially as the dataset takes up 333 GB of disk space, so the curation of Danish-WIT is purely to make it easier to work with the Danish portion of it.

Source Data

The original data was collected from WikiMedia's WIT-Base dataset, which in turn comes from Google's WIT dataset.
