# Flickr30k

This repository hosts a copy of the widely used **Flickr30k** dataset,
a benchmark for image captioning and image–text retrieval.

Flickr30k contains images paired with multiple human-written English captions per image and is widely used in multimodal research.

## Contents
Commonly included files/fields (exact filenames may vary):

- Images (or image references)
- Captions (often 5 captions per image)
- Optional split / id fields

A typical record conceptually looks like:
```json
{
  "image": "<image>",
  "caption": ["...", "...", "...", "...", "..."]
}
```

## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("nlphuji/flickr30k")
```

## Source
This dataset is taken from the Hugging Face dataset repository:
https://huggingface.co/datasets/nlphuji/flickr30k

## License
The Hugging Face dataset card does not clearly specify a single unified license (“unknown” is shown in some metadata).
Because the images originate from Flickr, usage is typically subject to the relevant **Flickr Terms & Conditions** and any per-image licensing.
Please review the dataset’s original homepage and usage terms before redistribution or commercial use.
