# Dataset Summary

OKReddit Visionary is a collection of **50 GiB** (~74K pairs) of image Question & Answers. This dataset has been prepared for research or archival purposes.

- **Curated by:** KaraKaraWitch
- **Funded by:** Recursal.ai
- **Shared by:** KaraKaraWitch
- **Special Thanks:** [harrison](https://huggingface.co/harrisonvanderbyl) (Suggestion)
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Mainly English.
- **License:** Refer to [Licensing Information](#licensing-information) for data license.

### Dataset Sources

- **Source Data:** [Academic Torrents](https://academictorrents.com/details/9c263fc85366c1ef8f5bb9da0203f4c8c8db75f4) by (stuck_in_the_matrix, Watchful1, RaiderBDev & pushshift folks.)

## Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset may be used for a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks including:

- Visual Questioning: Dataset contains question and answer pairs
- Text to Image (and vice versa).


## Languages

All the questions and answers should be in english at this size point.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

The dataset can be loaded with webdataset. Do note that there are multiple extensions to check: `jpg`, `jpeg` or `png`. They have not been reconverted to preserve the original file from reddit.

```py
import webdataset as wds
# After concatting, you may use the file like a regular dataset.

# The dataset is compatible with WebDataset format. Example...

tar_file = "PackedTar.tar"

hf_dataset = wds.WebDataset(str(tar_root)).decode("pil")
```

# Dataset Creation

## Curation Rationale

Some subreddits are more often than not, Q&A subreddits. Where the submission author asks a question (+An Image), and recieve responses back.

### Subreddits Picked

Following a suggestion from harrison, I've selected the following subreddits for this dataset:

- PeterExplainsTheJoke
- whatisthisanimal
- whatisthisbug
- whatisthiscar
- whatisthisthing

Some subreddits were not present in the base OKReddit-RC3 (/r/PeterExplainsTheJoke for example) dataset and had to be pulled from an intermediary step. But the same quality metrics where used in the final subreddit filtering.

### Picking good threads

After filtering threads, another round of filtering threads by score is done by:

1. Selecting submissions with >7 score.
2. Select replies from said submissions when it's not a bot (`AutoModerator`) and the score is > 5.
3. Scrape all images (Excluding galleries)
4. Pack data into tar format.

# Additional Information

## Recursal's Vision

> To make AI accessible to everyone, regardless of language, or economical status

This is the collective goal of the `RWKV Open Source foundation` and `Recursal AI`, the commercial entity who backs it.

We believe that AI should not be controlled by a select few individual organization. And that it should be made accessible regardless if you are rich or poor, or a native speaker of english.

### About RWKV

RWKV is an Open Source, non profit group, under the linux foundation. Focused on developing the RWKV AI architecture, in accordence to our vision.

The RWKV architecture scales efficiently and economically. As an RNN & Transformer hybrid, it is able to provide the performance similar to leading transformer models, while having the compute and energy efficiency of an RNN based architecture.

You can find out more about the project, and latest models, at the following

### About Recursal AI

Recursal AI, is the commercial entity built to provide support for RWKV model development and users, while providing commercial services via its public cloud, or private-cloud / on-premise offerings.

As part of our vision. Our commitment, is to ensure open source development and access to the best foundational AI models and datasets. 

The following dataset/models provided here, is part of that commitment.
