## ABC Pretraining Data
This dataset contains the pretraining data for ABC, an open-source multimodal embedding model that uses a vision-language model backbone to deeply integrate image features with natural language instructions, advancing the state of visual embeddings with natural language control.
This dataset is derived from Google's [Conceptual Captions](https://ai.google.com/research/ConceptualCaptions/) dataset.
Each item in the dataset contains a URL where the corresponding image can be downloaded and mined negatives for each item. The full dataset is ~300 GB of images. For a detailed description of how we mined the negatives, please check out our paper.
**Update**: The images have been added to this repository. For an example of how to use and download this dataset, see our [repository](https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/ABC).
## Paper, Project Page, and Code
- Paper: [ABC: Achieving Better Control of Multimodal Embeddings using VLMs](https://huggingface.co/papers/2503.00329)
- Project Page: [https://tiger-ai-lab.github.io/ABC/](https://tiger-ai-lab.github.io/ABC/)
- Code: [https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/ABC](https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/ABC)
## Sample Usage
### Quick Start
First, install the necessary dependencies by cloning the repository and installing requirements:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/ABC
cd ABC
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Then, you can start making multimodal embeddings:
```python
python -i ./quick_start.py
```
### Fetching Datasets from 🤗 Hub
Our datasets are hosted on HuggingFace Hub. The text data and dataset metadata can be fetched using HF's `load_dataset` utility.
To fetch the images from our datasets, we provide scripts in the `fetch_datasets` directory.
These scripts will pull the pretraining/finetuning image data off the hub and unpack them in your huggingface datasets cache (under a directory called `tigerlab`).
Run `python ./fetch_datasets/pretrain.py` to get the pretraining dataset and `python ./fetch_datasets/instruct.py` to get the finetuning dataset, respectively.
