# CC12M with SAM Regions and Parse-Tree Phrases

Pre-processed [CC12M](https://github.com/google-research-datasets/conceptual-12m) dataset for training [PowerCLIP](https://github.com/KMasaki/PowerCLIP).

Each sample contains the original image and caption plus two precomputed annotations:

- **Parse-tree phrases** (`.njson`) — NP/PP/VP/S constituent phrases extracted via spaCy, with token indices aligned to OpenCLIP's `SimpleTokenizer` (CSR format).
- **SAM regions** (`.samlens.npy` + `.samcat.npy`) — Segment Anything Model (SAM ViT-H) region bounding boxes converted to ViT patch-grid token indices (CSR format, patch size 16, image size 224).

## Format

WebDataset tar archives (2176 shards). Each sample contains:

```
{key}.jpg           # Image
{key}.txt           # Caption
{key}.json          # Metadata (original CC12M fields)
{key}.njson         # Parse-tree phrase indices (CSR: lengths + token IDs)
{key}.samlens.npy   # SAM region lengths array
{key}.samcat.npy    # SAM region token indices (concatenated)
```

## Usage

```python
import webdataset as wds

dataset = wds.WebDataset("cc12m-train-{0000..2175}.tar")
for sample in dataset:
    image = sample["jpg"]          # raw JPEG bytes
    caption = sample["txt"]        # caption string
    # SAM regions and parse-tree phrases are loaded automatically
    # by PowerCLIP's data pipeline
```

Or use with PowerCLIP directly:
```bash
torchrun --nproc_per_node 8 -m training.main \
    --train-data "cc12m-train-{0000..2175}.tar" \
    ...
```
