### Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->
[Laion](https://huggingface.co/datasets/liuhaotian/LLaVA-Pretrain) is a subset of LAION/CC/SBU dataset, filtered with a more balanced concept coverage distribution. Captions are also associated with BLIP synthetic caption for reference. It is constructed for the pretraining stage for feature alignment in visual instruction tuning.


Here we provide the Romanian translation of the Laion dataset, translated with [Seed-X-PPO](ByteDance-Seed/Seed-X-PPO-7B).
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)).
