coco_captions

COCO is a large-scale object detection, segmentation, and captioning dataset. This version contains images, bounding boxes, labels, and captions from COCO 2014, split into the subsets defined by Karpathy and Li (2015). This effectively divides the original COCO 2014 validation data into new 5000-image validation and test sets, plus a "restval" set containing the remaining ~30k images. All splits have caption annotations.

Split Examples
'restval' 30,504
'test' 5,000
'train' 82,783
'val' 5,000
