Usage
Basic Loading
from datasets import load_dataset
# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("your-username/dataset-name")
# Access images and metadata
for example in dataset["train"]:
image = example["image"]
title = example["title"]
tags = example["tags"]
comments = example["comments"]
Research Applications
This dataset is suitable for:
- Computer Vision: Image classification, scene understanding, visual content analysis
- Vision-Language: Image-to-text generation, visual question answering
- Digital Humanities: Cultural heritage analysis, community interaction studies
- Information Retrieval: Text-based image search, tag prediction, metadata analysis
- Social Media Research: Community engagement patterns, collaborative annotation
Working with Comments and Tags
# Analyze community engagement
for example in dataset["train"]:
photo_id = example["photo_id"]
num_comments = len(example["comments"])
tags = example["tags"]
print(f"Photo {photo_id}: {num_comments} comments, {len(tags)} tags")
Source Data
Data Collection
This collection originates from Flickr's Commons program, which partners with cultural heritage institutions to share photographs with no known copyright restrictions. Photos are selected based on cultural significance, community engagement, and preservation value.
Community Annotations
All metadata reflects authentic community interaction:
- Tags: User-generated keywords and descriptions
- Comments: Community discussions and reactions
- Engagement metrics: Real view counts, favorites, and interactions
Licensing and Ethics
License Information
Photos in this collection have open licenses enabling reuse:
- Most common: "No known copyright restrictions"
- Also includes: Creative Commons licenses (CC0, CC BY, etc.)
- See
license_label
andlicense_url
fields for specific licensing per image
Ethical Considerations
- Historical Context: Some photos may depict people, places, or events from historical periods
- Community Content: Comments and tags reflect community perspectives at time of creation
- Attribution: Original photographers and institutions are preserved in metadata
- Public Domain: All content was publicly accessible on Flickr under open licenses
