abstract = {Groundbreaking language-vision architectures like CLIP and
DALL-E proved the utility of training on large amounts of
noisy image-text data, without relying on expensive accurate
labels used in standard vision unimodal supervised learning.
The resulting models showed capabilities of strong
text-guided image generation and transfer to downstream
tasks, while performing remarkably at zero-shot
classification with noteworthy out-of-distribution
robustness. Since then, large-scale language-vision models
like ALIGN, BASIC, GLIDE, Flamingo and Imagen made further
improvements. Studying the training and capabilities of such
models requires datasets containing billions of image-text
pairs. Until now, no datasets of this size have been made
openly available for the broader research community. To
address this problem and democratize research on large-scale
multi-modal models, we present LAION-5B - a dataset
consisting of 5.85 billion CLIP-filteredimage-text pairs, of
which 2.32B contain English language. We show successful
replication and fine-tuning of foundational models like
CLIP, GLIDE and Stable Diffusion using the dataset, and
discuss further experiments enabled with an openly available
dataset of this scale. Additionally we provide several
nearest neighbor indices, an improved web-interface for
dataset exploration and subset generation, and detection
scores for watermark, NSFW, and toxic content detection.},
