Dataset Structure

Data Instances

{
  'image': <PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=RGB size=4300x128 at 0x1A800E8E190,
  'text': 'Mann; und als wir uns zum Angriff stark genug'
}

Data Fields

• —image: a PIL.Image.Image object containing the image. Note that when accessing the image column (using dataset[0]["image"]), the image file is automatically decoded. Decoding of a large number of image files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "image" column, i.e. dataset[0]["image"] should always be preferred over dataset["image"][0].
• —text: the label transcription of the image.
