# NomGenie: Font Diffusion for Sino-Nom Language

**NomGenie** is a specialized image-to-image dataset designed for font generation and style transfer within the **Sino-Nom (Hán-Nôm)** script system. This dataset facilitates the training of deep learning models—particularly Diffusion Models and GANs—to preserve the historical and structural integrity of Vietnamese Nom characters while applying diverse typographic styles.

## Dataset Description

The dataset consists of paired images: a **content image** (representing the skeletal or standard structure of a character) and a **target image** (representing the character rendered in a specific artistic or historical font style).

### Key Features
* **character**: The specific Sino-Nom character represented.
* **style/font**: Metadata identifying the aesthetic transformation applied.
* **content_image**: The source glyph used as the structural reference.
* **target_image**: The ground truth stylized glyph for model supervision.
* **Hashing**: `content_hash` and `target_hash` are provided to ensure data integrity and assist in deduplication.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Splits
The dataset is organized into three distinct splits to support various training stages:

| Split | Examples | Size | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **train_original** | 8,235 | 124.79 MB | The full original training set. |
| **train** | 5,172 | 79.72 MB | A curated subset optimized for standard training. |
| **val** | 318 | 4.48 MB | Validation set for hyperparameter tuning and evaluation. |

## Quick Start

To use this dataset with the Hugging Face `datasets` library:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("path/to/NomGenie")

# Access a training sample
sample = dataset['train'][0]
display(sample['content_image'])
display(sample['target_image'])
