### Dataset Summary
COCO is a large-scale object detection, segmentation, and captioning dataset. This repo contains five captions per image; useful for sentence similarity tasks.
Disclaimer: The team releasing COCO did not upload the dataset to the Hub and did not write a dataset card.
These steps were done by the Hugging Face team.
### Supported Tasks
- [Sentence Transformers](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers) training; useful for semantic search and sentence similarity.
### Languages
- English.
## Dataset Structure
Each example in the dataset contains quintets of similar sentences and is formatted as a dictionary with the key "set" and a list with the sentences as "value":
```
{"set": [sentence_1, sentence_2, sentence3, sentence4, sentence5]}
{"set": [sentence_1, sentence_2, sentence3, sentence4, sentence5]}
...
{"set": [sentence_1, sentence_2, sentence3, sentence4, sentence5]}
```
This dataset is useful for training Sentence Transformers models. Refer to the following post on how to train models using similar pairs of sentences.
### Usage Example
Install the 🤗 Datasets library with `pip install datasets` and load the dataset from the Hub with:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("embedding-data/coco_captions")
```
The dataset is loaded as a `DatasetDict` and has the format:
```python
DatasetDict({
train: Dataset({
features: ['set'],
num_rows: 82783
})
})
```
Review an example `i` with:
```python
dataset["train"][i]["set"]
```
