  # LARE: Dense-Set
53
 
54
- **Dense-Set** is a benchmark dataset tailored for text-to-image retrieval in densely crowded scenes. It provides hard, fine-grained, and low-attention subsets extracted from the MS-COCO and Flickr30k validation splits, intentionally emphasizing rare classes that traditional vision-language models frequently overlook.

+ ## Dataset Construction & Re-captioning
11
+
12
+ Dense-Set was constructed through an automated pipeline carefully designed to emphasize objects traditional vision-language models overlook:
13
+ 1. **High-Density Filtering**: Images were processed using a YOLO object detector. We ranked images by total object count and isolated the top 10% to create a high-density candidate pool.
14
+ 2. **Rare-Class Isolation**: Within the dense pool, we identified "rare classes" at the image level—defined as object categories appearing exactly once in a given image.
15
+ 3. **BLIP-2 Re-captioning**: To shift the textual focus away from general scene context, we filtered out rare-class detections occupying >15% of the image area. We then prompted BLIP-2 with class-aware templates to explicitly describe these small or underrepresented objects, producing highly challenging, fine-grained captions.
