Dataset Structure
Data Instances
The dataset can be loaded with webdataset. Do note that there are multiple extensions to check: jpg
, jpeg
or png
. They have not been reconverted to preserve the original file from reddit.
import webdataset as wds
# After concatting, you may use the file like a regular dataset.
# The dataset is compatible with WebDataset format. Example...
tar_file = "PackedTar.tar"
hf_dataset = wds.WebDataset(str(tar_root)).decode("pil")
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
Some subreddits are more often than not, Q&A subreddits. Where the submission author asks a question (+An Image), and recieve responses back.
Subreddits Picked
Following a suggestion from harrison, I've selected the following subreddits for this dataset:
- PeterExplainsTheJoke
- whatisthisanimal
- whatisthisbug
- whatisthiscar
- whatisthisthing
Some subreddits were not present in the base OKReddit-RC3 (/r/PeterExplainsTheJoke for example) dataset and had to be pulled from an intermediary step. But the same quality metrics where used in the final subreddit filtering.
Picking good threads
After filtering threads, another round of filtering threads by score is done by:
- Selecting submissions with >7 score.
- Select replies from said submissions when it's not a bot (
AutoModerator
) and the score is > 5. - Scrape all images (Excluding galleries)
- Pack data into tar format.
