Introduced by Desmond Elliott et al. in Multi30K: Multilingual English-German Image Descriptions2 May 2016 archive 2025-07-28

Multi30K is a large-scale multilingual multimodal dataset for interdisciplinary machine learning research. It extends the Flickr30K dataset with German translations created by professional translators over a subset of the English descriptions, and descriptions crowdsourced independently of the original English descriptions. The dataset was introduced to stimulate multilingual multimodal research.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

15 shown of 15 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 139. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
