100M Text Debiased Subset from LAION 2B

• Captions in LAION-2B have a significant bias towards describing visual text content embedded in the images.
• Released CLIP models have strong text spotting bias in almost every style of web images, resulting in the CLIP-filtering datasets inherently biased towards visual text dominant data.
• CLIP models easily learn text spotting capacity from parrot captions while failing to connect the vision-language semantics, just like a text spotting parrot.

For more details, please see our paper.

Filtering Details

We provide an alternative solution by releasing a less biased filtered LAION-2B 100M(107,166,507) subset.

We construct a less biased 100M subset from the LAION-2B subset with Empty OCR results, CLIP score > 0.3, and Aesthetics score > 4.5.

We add the ase_scores and K-means labels (4000 total) for each image-text pair.

We also released the dataset on OpenDataLab.

The pre-trained CLIP model is released on github.
