## Dataset Summary

**Stark** is a publicly available, large-scale, long-term multi-modal conversation dataset that encompasses a diverse range of social personas, multi-modality formats, time intervals, and images. To automatically construct Stark, we introduce a novel multi-modal contextualization framework, **MCU**, which generates long-term multi-modal dialogues distilled from ChatGPT and our proposed **Plan-and-Execute Image Aligner**. An overview of MCU and an example from Stark are illustrated below.

This repository contains virtual human face images generated from text-to-image generative model (i.e., [SDXL-Lightning](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/SDXL-Lightning)).
The virtual human face is created based on a predefined human attribute collection from [CosmicMan](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2024/papers/Li_CosmicMan_A_Text-to-Image_Foundation_Model_for_Humans_CVPR_2024_paper.pdf), with the full human attribute information presented in the Appendix A.3 of our paper.

## Dataset Structure

Since the number of images is large (roughly 899K), we store and provide the image datasets in WebDataset format for efficiency.

| Field   | Type   | Description  |
|---------|--------|--------------|
| `key`   | str    | A unique identifier for each data entry in the dataset. |
| `url`   | str    | The URL path to the image stored in the dataset repository on HuggingFace. All URLs point to the base HuggingFace repository where images are stored. |
| `jpg`   | image  | The image data associated with each entry, displayed as a thumbnail in the dataset viewer. This column stores the actual image content relevant to the conversation in the dataset. |
| `json`  | dict   | Contains additional metadata and information for each image, structured as a dictionary. The JSON field typically includes the following keys: `image_source`, `image_url`, `index`. |

- **`image_source`**: Source of the image (`p-t2i`), where:
  - `"p-t2i"`: Image from a general text-to-image generative model (i.e., [SDXL-Lightning](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/SDXL-Lightning)).
- **`image_url`**: External URL where the image was originally sourced. In this dataset, the `image_url` is always an empty string.
- **`index`**: A unique index identifier for each image within the dataset, which is the same as the `key` field.

## Dataset Construction

We construct the **Stark** dataset using our proposed novel framework, MCU, which distills long-term multi-modal dialogue from ChatGPT and our proposed Plan-and-Execute Image Aligner, powered by a personalized text-to-image generative model (i.e., PhotoMaker), image database retrieval, and web search. All prompt templates used for dataset construction are presented in the Appendix of our paper.

## License and Recommendations

The **Stark** dataset is intended for research purposes only. Despite our efforts to generate high-quality and diverse personalized images, users should be mindful of ethical considerations when utilizing the dataset.
