# Dataset Summary
I have uploaded previously a dataset similar to this one, and that's why
this one is named with the suffix `_v2`. In this dataset card, we shall refer to
the previous dataset by the name of **v1**.

This v2 version attempts to fix the following issues:

- There were simply too many images in v1 for any model to properly run through even a single epoch.
    - Consequently, maybe by bad luck, someone may train on images that do not cover all the symbols.
- v1 seems to lack of CAPTCHA images with repeated symbols, e.g. `"jj12oj"`.

The usage and meaning of the current v2 dataset should be intuitive (and quite independent of v1):

```ipython
In [1]: from datasets import load_dataset

In [2]: dataset = load_dataset("phunc20/nj_biergarten_captcha_v2)
