Data filtering
Data was removed from training given any of the following: - Value of ‘NSFW’ or ‘LIKELY’ in the nsfw column from LAION’s metadata - Images which originally had an aspect ratio greater than 1.3 (or) less than 0.8 - The original width or original height is less than 256 pixels. - Captions were checked against a list of slurs. If a slur is in the caption, it is removed. I won’t be publishing the slurs.
Shout out to stability.ai for donating the compute to laion needed for this to be possible.
