Multi-CommonCanvas-QA
A multilingual extension of CommonCanvas / CommonCatalog for visual question answering in five languages: English, German, Spanish, French and Italian.
Dataset summary
Each row is a Creative-Commons Flickr photo from the source dataset together with one question about the image and its answer, both written in the language of the row. The kind of question depends on the question_type column. The images and their metadata come from CommonCatalog; the questions and answers are new.
How the data was built
The source dataset is common-canvas/commoncatalog-cc-by-sa. For each image, a question of a given type and its answer were generated in each target language with the permissively licensed model Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-FP8; the text is therefore generated automatically. Original fields (Flickr metadata, user_caption, blip2_caption, description) are kept as they are in the source dataset and are not translated.
Question types (column question_type) include, for example: attribute_and_properties, emotion_interpretation, text_recognition, scene_and_context, creative_writing and aesthetic_judgement.
A sample, not the full dataset
This repository contains a random sample of the full dataset, published for exposure and quick experimentation. It is not designed to be statistically representative. For more information, please contact the organisation through its Hugging Face page.
Languages and size
One configuration per language; every config has a single train split.

Data fields
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
messages |
The conversation in chat format. It contains the image (images, with the image bytes) and the messages turns: a user turn with the image and the question, and an assistant turn with the answer. |
question |
The question, as plain text, in the language given by lang. |
answer |
The answer, as plain text, in the language given by lang. |
question_type |
Type of question asked about the image. |
task |
Always Question Answering. |
| Column | Description |
| --- | --- |
photoid, uid, unickname, title, usertags, machinetags, description |
Flickr metadata of the source photo (inherited from CommonCatalog, not regenerated). |
datetaken, dateuploaded, capturedevice, exif |
Capture and upload information of the source photo. |
longitude, latitude, accuracy, country, continent |
Geolocation of the source photo, when available. |
pageurl, downloadurl, url, key, serverid, farmid, secret, secretoriginal, ext, status, error_message, sha256 |
Source URLs and download information of the image. |
licensename, licenseurl |
License of the individual image. |
width, height, original_width, original_height |
Image size. |
least_dim_range, aspect_ratio_bucket |
Resolution and aspect-ratio buckets of the image, inherited from the organisation of the source dataset. |
user_caption |
Caption written by the Flickr user (called caption in the source dataset); often empty. |
blip2_caption |
BLIP-2 caption provided by the source dataset. |
lang |
Language of the row; equal to the configuration name. |
Note: in this dataset the image is stored inside messages and is not repeated as a top-level jpg column.
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("VillanovaAI/Multi-CommonCanvas-QA", "it", split="train", streaming=True)
row = next(iter(ds))
print(row["lang"], row["question_type"])
print(row["question"])
print(row["answer"])
License
The license is the one declared by the source dataset, common-canvas/commoncatalog-cc-by-sa (CC BY-SA 4.0). Each row also keeps the license of its own image (licensename, licenseurl) and its source page (pageurl). Please check those terms before reusing or redistributing the images.
