LSUN (Large-scale Scene UNderstanding Challenge)

Introduced by Fisher Yu et al. in LSUN: Construction of a Large-scale Image Dataset using Deep Learning with Humans in the Loop1 Jan 2015 archive 2025-07-28

The Large-scale Scene Understanding (LSUN) challenge aims to provide a different benchmark for large-scale scene classification and understanding. The LSUN classification dataset contains 10 scene categories, such as dining room, bedroom, chicken, outdoor church, and so on. For training data, each category contains a huge number of images, ranging from around 120,000 to 3,000,000. The validation data includes 300 images, and the test data has 1000 images for each category.

30 shown of 36 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 867. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
