# BCSS Dataset (Hugging Face Mirror)

This is a re-hosted copy of the Breast Cancer Semantic Segmentation (BCSS) dataset, made available on Hugging Face so that others can more easily download the data to their local environment.
This exists thanks to the generous authors, who so kindly licensed the dataset under a CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) license, allowing redistribution.
