Dataset Folder Format:

File: conversations.json

Note:

Training set do not contains "negative_candidate_media_keys" and "negative_candidate_texts", which only exists in test and validation set. Each "negative_candidate_xxx" contains 999 negative candidates for retrieval task.
All image filenames are in "media_key.jpg" format.
Words like :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes: and :raising_hands: are emotion tokens, please refer to https://github.com/carpedm20/emoji
To compute the CLIP scores in metric MM-Relevance, we provide a demo in compute_mmrel.py.
We also provide an evaluation example for metrics evaluated within a single modality (e.g., BLEU, Recall) in EvaluationExample.md.
