## Summary

This dataset is a German-language dataset based on the [Fashion12K](https://github.com/Toloka/Fashion12K_german_queries) dataset, which originally contains both English and German text descriptions for each item.
This dataset was used to to finetuner CLIP using the [Finetuner](https://finetuner.jina.ai/) tool.

## Fine-tuning

Please refer to our documentation: [Multilingual Text-to-Image Search with MultilingualCLIP](https://finetuner.jina.ai/notebooks/multilingual_text_to_image/)
and blog [Improving Search Quality for Non-English Queries with Fine-tuned Multilingual CLIP Models](https://jina.ai/news/improving-search-quality-non-english-queries-fine-tuned-multilingual-clip-models/)

## Instances

Each data point consists of a 'text' and an 'image' field, where the 'text' field describes an item of clothing in German, and the 'image' field contains and image of that item of clothing.

## Fields

- 'text': A string describing the item of clothing.
- 'image': A `PIL.Image.Image` object containing the image. Note that when accessing the image column: `dataset[0]["image"]` the image file is automatically decoded. Decoding of a large number of image files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "image" column, i.e. `dataset[0]["image"]` should always be preferred over dataset["image"][0].
