| # PII census — ZoomCap-450K |
|
|
| * caption text policy: **verbatim** — captions are published byte-identical to the internal corpus; only the `images` path is rewritten. Sensitive rows are handled by exclusion (config `pii_free`), never by editing text. |
| * rows counted: 454,963 |
|
|
| These strings are text visible inside the public source images (business cards, storefront signage, screenshots, classified ads). They are also what OCR-heavy evaluation rewards, so they are measured here rather than rewritten in place. |

| ## Config effect (row counts) |
|
|
| | config | rows | rule | |
| | --- | --- | --- | |
| | `full` | 454,963 | every caption, verbatim; row and character counts identical to the corpus the paper reports | |
| | `clean` | 451,276 | full minus rows with a degenerate-output QC flag | |
| | `pii_free` | 447,285 | clean minus rows whose image shows a third-party identifier or credential (row-level exclusion, no text edit) | |
|
|
| ## QC / sensitivity flags |
|
|
| | flag | rows | |
| | --- | --- | |
| | `pii_contact` | 3,954 | |
| | `too_long` | 3,510 | |
| | `repetition_line` | 3,274 | |
| | `repetition_word` | 2,401 | |
| | `pii_identifier` | 67 | |
| | `credential_in_image` | 10 | |
| | `too_short` | 4 | |
|
|
| _(Verbatim example contexts are withheld from the public copy: they quote the exact third-party contact strings that this config excludes. The counts above are complete, and the full example set is part of the internal data-release application.)_ |
