Dataset Card for LightCMR-Bench

LightCMR-Bench is a lightweight benchmark for evaluating cross-modal retrieval models using precomputed vision-language embeddings. It is built upon the Localized Narratives dataset and includes two embedding subsets of different dimensionalities to support both high-accuracy and resource-efficient use cases.

Dataset Details

Dataset Description

This dataset provides precomputed image and text embeddings extracted from the Localized Narratives dataset, which contains richly grounded image-caption pairs. The embeddings were generated using the BEiT-3 model family:

embeddings_mini_d64: 64-dimensional embeddings extracted from a BEiT-3 base model fine-tuned with a semantic alignment loss, offering compact but semantically rich representations suitable for low-resource or real-time scenarios.
embeddings_large_d1024: 1024-dimensional embeddings generated directly from the pretrained BEiT-3 large model, preserving full semantic fidelity for high-accuracy evaluation.

These embeddings are directly usable for image-to-text or text-to-image retrieval without requiring raw inputs or online encoding.

Curated by: Zhoukun ([email protected])
Language(s): English (from Localized Narratives)
License: CC-BY-4.0
Modality: Image and Text (via vector embeddings)
File Format: .npy or .pt containing dense vectors

Dataset Sources

This Repository: https://huggingface.co/datasets/zhoukun/LightCMR-Bench
Original Data: Localized Narratives
Original Paper: ECCV 2020 - Localized Narratives

Uses

Direct Use

Evaluating cross-modal retrieval models
Analyzing the effect of embedding dimensionality on retrieval quality
Testing zero-shot or lightweight retrieval setups

Out-of-Scope Use

Training from scratch (no raw image or text data provided)
Caption generation or image synthesis tasks

Dataset Structure

The dataset is organized into two directories:

embeddings_large_d1024/
- 1024-D image and text embeddings from BEiT-3 large
embeddings_mini_d64/
- 64-D compressed embeddings from a fine-tuned BEiT-3 base model

Each folder contains:

img_embeds.npy: Image embeddings
text_embeds.npy: Caption embeddings
Optional mapping files (e.g. ids.json, index.pt)

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This dataset was created to enable fast, standardized benchmarking of retrieval models at the embedding level, particularly for vision-language systems.

Source Data

The embeddings are based on image-text pairs from the Localized Narratives dataset, which includes:

Human-spoken captions aligned to object regions
Images from COCO, Open Images, and other sources

Data Collection and Processing

Captions and images were encoded using BEiT-3 models
For mini_d64, embeddings were passed through a semantic-alignment projection head
All embeddings are saved in NumPy or PyTorch tensor formats

Who are the source data producers?

The original Localized Narratives dataset was created by researchers at Google Research. The embeddings in this dataset were generated by Zhoukun using open-source models.

Annotations

No additional annotations were made. Only embeddings are provided.

Personal and Sensitive Information

No personally identifiable information is included. All content is derived from publicly available and anonymized sources.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Embeddings inherit biases present in BEiT-3 and the Localized Narratives dataset
Dimensionality reduction in mini_d64 may lead to loss of fine-grained alignment
Retrieval performance may vary by downstream model and evaluation task

Recommendations

Use large_d1024 when accuracy is critical, and mini_d64 for efficiency. Researchers should test across both to evaluate robustness.
