The YFCC100M Entity Dataset contains about 460K unique images, associated with a mix of clean and noisy labels. The labels are all Wikipedia entities, in the hope to leverage semantic knowledges. It is suitable for the learning from noisy labels research. The images are collected from both ImageNet and YFCC100M. We provide the previously released public URLs for the YFCC100M dataset, and filenames for the images from ImageNet. The images are from three different domains, i.e., Species, Sports, and Artifacts. The labels from ImageNet are assumed all clean, while the labels from YFCC100M are regarded as noisy. Portion of the YFCC100M labels are cleaned via crowdsourcing platform CrowdFlower. To evaluate the performance of learning from noisy labels, please strictly follow our protocols details below.

If you end up using the dataset, we ask you to cite the following paper: preprint

This dataset is provided to be used for approved non-commercial research purposes. No personally identifying information is available in this dataset.

There are four directories under data, which corresponds to the four settings in the paper. Each directory contains 5 files, full.txt, dev.txt, test.txt, clean.txt, and vocab.txt.

The vocab.txt list the name of the labels, which corresponds to a Wikipedia page. For example, String_instrument in the file data/Artifacts/vocab.txt means the entity explained in this Wikipedia page: String_instrument. The other files have the format link label source.

source=yfcc100m means the image comes from YFCC100M dataset and the link is a public URL pointing to the resized version of the image.

source=imagenet means the image comes from ImageNet and the link is the file name of the image. To get the image, you have to register and download from ImageNet

The label is an index to the vocabulary file vocab.txt. For the dev.txt and test.txt files, the label may be -1, which means it is a background image.

The clean.txt is a subset of full.txt. clean.txt and full.txt means the D_c and D in the paper, respectively.

In order to make the experiments comparable as much as possible, please follow the following guidelines:

1. Model training should be on clean.txt and full.txt.
2. dev.txt can be used only for selecting hyperparameters. Training on dev.txt is forbidden.
3. Final results should be reported on the test.txt, and test.txt should not be used to tune hyperparameters.
4. mAP should be used as evaluation metric:

import numpy as np
from sklearn.metrics import average_precision_score
# sklearn version: 0.18.1 (for reference)

aps = []
for i in range(vocab_size):
    aps.append(average_precision_score(this_labels, this_score))
mAP = np.mean(aps)
