# Mathematical Expressions Dataset
## Dataset Description
This dataset contains images of mathematical expressions along with their corresponding LaTeX code.
**Images will automatically be displayed as thumbnails in Hugging Face's Data Studio.**
### Dataset Summary
- **Number of files**: 1 Parquet files
- **Estimated number of samples**: 12,312
- **Format**: Parquet optimized for Hugging Face
- **Features configured for thumbnails**: ✅
- **Columns**:
- `latex`: LaTeX code of the mathematical expression (string)
- `image`: Image of the mathematical expression (Image with decode=True)
### Supported Tasks
- **Image-to-Text**: Conversion of mathematical expression images to LaTeX code
- **OCR**: Optical character recognition for mathematical characters
- **Mathematical Expression Recognition**: Recognition of mathematical expressions
### Languages
The dataset contains mathematical expressions that are universal. The LaTeX code and associated metadata are primarily in English.
## Dataset Structure
### Data Fields
- `latex`: String with the LaTeX code that generates the mathematical expression.
- `image`: PIL image containing the rendered mathematical expression.
- **Type**: `datasets.Image(decode=True)`
- **Format**: Images are automatically decoded to PIL.Image.
- **Thumbnails**: Automatically generated in Data Studio.
### Data Splits

## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
# Load the dataset
# Make sure to replace {repo_id_placeholder} with your actual Hugging Face repository ID
# For example: "your_username/your_dataset_name"
dataset = load_dataset("ToniDO/TeXtract_augraphy_v1")
# Access a sample
sample = dataset['train'][0]
image = sample['image'] # Already a PIL.Image thanks to decode=True
latex_code = sample['latex']
print(f"LaTeX: {latex_code}")
image.show() # Display the image
# Images will also appear as thumbnails in Data Studio
```
## Visualization
Images will automatically be displayed as thumbnails in Hugging Face's Data Studio thanks to the Features configuration:
```python
from datasets import Features, Value, Image
features = Features({
"latex": Value("string"),
"image": Image(decode=True) # This generates the thumbnails
})
```
## Dataset Creation
This dataset was created by converting WebDataset (.tar) files to Parquet format optimized for Hugging Face.
### Source Data
- **Original format**: WebDataset (.tar)
- **Conversion**: Using a custom Python script.
- **Optimization**: Parquet format with Snappy compression (default for `pyarrow.parquet.write_table` if not specified otherwise, actual compression depends on how your Parquet files were created).
- **Features**: Explicitly configured for automatic thumbnails.
## Technical Details
### Image Handling
- **Storage**: Images are stored as bytes within the Parquet file.
- **Decoding**: Automatic to PIL.Image when loading the dataset using `datasets.Image(decode=True)`.
- **Thumbnails**: Automatically generated by Hugging Face Data Studio.
- **Compatibility**: Works with image formats supported by PIL (Pillow) when decoded.
## Considerations for Using the Data
