Dataset Card for G400M
G400M is a German language image-text dataset with 400M image-text pairs extracted from the xlarge pool of DataComp. The data is filtered and balanced using the algorithm applied by MetaCLIP, that is:
- Build a collection of 500k strings (namely the metadata) from the German Wikipedia.
- Filter the data pool for German and English data using fastText.
- Apply substring matching to the captions with the metadata.
- Sample the image-text pairs using the algorithm by MetaCLIP with the (magic) target number per metadata entry of 20k.
