Indic Multilingual Image Caption Dataset
This dataset contains 4,500 unique images with captions in:
- English
- Hindi
- Bengali
- Tamil
Source composition
- 3,000 images from COCO Caption 2017
- 1,500 images from TextCaps
Each image is stored once and paired with four multilingual caption variants. Hindi, Bengali and Tamil captions were generated from the selected English captions using the NLLB-200 distilled translation model.
Intended use
The dataset was created for multilingual vision-language alignment in a custom LLaVA-style VLM using:
- SigLIP Base Patch16-384
- Qwen2-0.5B
- a trainable two-layer vision projector
- Indic-language LoRA adapters
Important note
The translated captions are machine-generated and should be treated as synthetic multilingual supervision. They may contain occasional translation errors, transliteration inconsistencies or imperfect handling of visible brand names.
