Multi-PixMo-Cap-QA

Overview

Multi-PixMo-Cap-QA is a multilingual version of Multi-PixMo-Cap dataset by Villanova. Both datasets are based on the PixMo series developed by AllenAI.

The original PixMo-Cap dataset was created by recording annotators speaking freely about an image for 60–90 seconds, then transforming the resulting audio transcripts into detailed captions using Claude (see the PixMo paper).

Multi-PixMo-Cap followed the same multimodal concept, but all examples were re-generated from human captions using a permissively licensed model: Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct. This results in a multilingual dataset that mirrors the PixMo-Cap style while being fully based on open-source generation methods.

Multi-PixMoCap-QA dataset used the same images and captions of the Multi-PixMo-Cap dataset and used them to generate a Q&A set for each sample. The model was provided with the image, the caption and a predefined list of question types. After viewing the image, the model selected the most suitable question type from the list and generated a corresponding Q&A pair.

Model:

The dataset was generated using the multimodal, open LLM Qwen/Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-FP8.

Language Distribution

Multi-PixMo-Cap-QA contains five subsets, one per language, distributed as follows:

Language Subset Name Percentage Number of Examples
English en 32% 103737
Italian it 17% 55486
French fr 17% 55486
Spanish es 17% 55486
German de 17% 55486

English accounts for 32% of all examples, while the other four languages collectively make up 68%, distributed evenly.

Question type distribution

Since the model autonomously selected the most fitting task type for each image, the distribution of question types across the dataset is uneven. Below is a table showing the percentage distribution for each task.

Total dataset entries: 325681

Question type Count Percentage
text_recognition 76076 23.36%
attribute_and_properties 70747 21.72%
formatting_task 53797 16.52%
aesthetic_judgement 41040 12.60%
creative_writing 29637 9.10%
emotion_interpretation 29410 9.03%
actions_and_events 14386 4.42%
comparative_reasoning 3930 1.21%
count_measure 1889 0.58%
identify_object 1646 0.51%
scene_and_context 1633 0.50%
common-sense_world-knowledge 1486 0.46%
categorization_tagging 4 0.00%

Intended Use

This dataset aims to provide multilingual question-answer pairs suitable for training multimodal models.

It also offers a Q&A corpus produced by a permissively licensed model to ensure that the resulting dataset can be freely reused, including for the development and training of new models.

Dataset Structure

Each subset contains the following fields:

Field Type
image_url string
question_type string
question string
answer string

Licensing

The dataset is distributed under the ODC-BY-1.0 license. Users must adhere to the attribution and usage requirements outlined under this license.
