3 Data Processing

We assemble our curated LVD-142M dataset by retrieving, from a large pool of uncurated data, images that
are close to those in several curated datasets. We describe below the main components in our data pipeline
including the curated/uncurated data sources, the image deduplication step and the retrieval system. Our
pipeline does not require any metadata or text and directly works with images, as shown in Fig. 3. We refer
the reader to appendix A for more details on our approach.
