## **Composition**

LAION-RVS-Fashion is composed of images from : 
- **[LAION 2B EN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/laion2B-en)**
- **[LAION 2B MULTI TRANSLATED](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/laion2B-multi-joined-translated-to-en)**
- **[LAION 1B NOLANG TRANSLATED](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/laion1B-nolang-joined-translated-to-en)**

These images have been grouped based on extracted product IDs. Each product in the training set is composed of at least a single image (isolated product), and a complex image (scene). We added categorical metadata and BLIP2 captions to each product. Please see the [samples](#samples) and refer to [our paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.02928) for additional details.

We also release `bootstrap_IDs.pkl`, the file used to generate the bootstrapped results of the paper. `test_subsets` is composed of [product IDs](https://github.com/Simon-Lepage/CondViT-LRVSF/blob/b660d82b5775de417ba81ac846b6df004b31eb75/lrvsf/test/metrics.py#L229), while `dist_{N}_subsets` are [row indices](https://github.com/Simon-Lepage/CondViT-LRVSF/blob/b660d82b5775de417ba81ac846b6df004b31eb75/lrvsf/test/metrics.py#L248).
