## 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: 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. |
