+# Text-to-Image Model Attribution Dataset
+
+This dataset is distilled from two comprehensive sources:
+
+- A **2-year snapshot of the CivitAI SFW (Safe-for-Work) image dataset**, containing metadata for generated images.
+- A **complete export of all models published on CivitAI**, including metadata such as model names, types, and version identifiers.
+
+By matching image-level `resourceIDs` (used to generate each image) with the corresponding model version IDs from the model dataset, we identified and extracted four distinct subsets of images generated exclusively using one of the following prominent TTI (Text-to-Image) models:
+
+- `flux_df` – FLUX
+- `dreamshaper_df` – DreamShaper
+- `juggernaut_df` – Juggernaut XL
+- `pony_df` – Pony Diffusion V6 XL
+
+## Objective
+
+As part of a course project, our task is to investigate whether it is possible to train a classifier capable of predicting **which model** was used to generate a given image, based solely on the visual content.
+
+## Dataset Filtering
+
+To ensure the integrity and clarity of model attribution:
+- We **filtered out images that used more than one LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation model)**, minimizing visual distortion or blending caused by mixed model influences.
+- We **limited image entries to those using at most two total resource IDs**, increasing the likelihood that a single base model was the dominant generator.
+
+This filtering ensures that the training data more accurately reflects the visual "style signature" of each individual base model.
+
+## Structure
+
+The final dataset is split into four Pandas DataFrames:
+- `flux_df`
+- `dreamshaper_df`
+- `juggernaut_df`
+- `pony_df`
+
+Each DataFrame contains images (and associated metadata) known to be generated using only the corresponding model.

+This dataset is intended for academic, educational, and non-commercial research use only.
