Release	Description
v1.0	Initial release of the [TODO:dataset name]

Dataset Summary

[Dataset name] contains 25 million image URLs available for use under Creative Commons license obtained from the Common Crawl web corpus. The dataset was created as part of Fondant, a open-source framework for building composable data preparation pipelines for training (and fine-tuning) foundation models.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

How to use it

from  datasets  import  load_dataset

# full dataset
ds = load_dataset("fondantai/cc-25m")

# dataset streaming (will only download the data as needed)
ds = load_dataset("fondantai/cc-25m", streaming=True)
print(next(iter(dataset))) #TODO: add int ids?

Utilizing the dataset in a fondant pipeline

We have prepared a sample fondant pipeline that reduces the dataset to PNG files and subsequently downloads the images.

To execute the pipeline locally, you must have docker compose installed on your local system.

Furthermore, you will need to install Fondant by running:

pip install fondant[pipelines]

Afterward, you can clone the GitHub repository, navigate to the examples/pipelines/filter-cc-25m, and initiate the pipeline by executing:

fondant run pipeline --local

To visually inspect the results quickly, you can use:

fondant explore --base_path ./data

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

Each data instance corresponds to one image. The URL of the image is in the image_url feature, and other features (alt_text, webpage_url, etc) provide some metadata. Note that images have been deduplicated only based on their URLs and not embeddings.

Data Fields

• image_url (string): image url to download the image
• alt_text (string): alternative text of the image
• webpage_url (string): webpage source of the image
• license_type (string): creative commons licence type of the image
• license_location (string): location of the license on the webpage
• surt_url (string): sort friendly image url with top level domain as the prefix

Data Splits

The dataset has no splits and all data is loaded as a [TODO: check split name - train?] split by default. If you want to setup a custom train-test split beware that the dataset may contain duplicates which can cause leakage into the test split.

Personal and Sensitive Information

The released dataset may contain sensitive information such as names, emails and addresses that have previously been published to the Internet. In the event that the dataset contains personal information, researchers should only use public, non-personal information in support of conducting and publishing their open-access research. Personal information should not be used for spamming purposes, including sending unsolicited emails or selling of personal information. Complaints, removal requests, and "do not contact" requests can be sent to [email protected].

The PII filtering pipeline for this dataset is still a work in progress. Researchers that wish to contribute to the anonymization pipeline of the project can join here.

Opting out of [dataset name]

We are giving the public the ability to have their image removed from the dataset upon request. The process for submitting and enacting removal requests will keep evolving throughout the project as we receive feedback and build up more data governance tools. If you'd like to have your data removed from the dataset, contact us.
