### Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->
[Flickr30k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/andreidima/Flickr30K-RoQA) is a dataset with images that contain multiple crowd-sourced detailed captions.

Here we host the Romanian translation of the Flickr30k dataset (captioning task), translated by [Dima and Cercel](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.14926).
This dataset is part of the instruction finetune protocol for Romanian VLMs proposed in *"Înțelegi românește?" A Recipe for Romanian Vision-Language Models* ([Masala et al., 2026](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.31401)).
