๐ Read the paper to learn more about Kaokore dataset, our motivations in making them, as well as creativity usage of it!
KaoKore is a novel dataset of face images from Japanese illustrations along with multiple labels for each face, derived from the Collection of Facial Expressions.
KaoKore dataset is build based on the Collection of Facial Expressions, which results from an effort by the ROIS-DS Center for Open Data in the Humanities (CODH) that has been publicly available since 2018. It provides a dataset of cropped face images extracted from Japanese artworks publicly available from National Institute of Japanese Literature, Kyoto University Rare Materials Digital Archive and Keio University Media Center from the Late Muromachi Period (16th century) to the Early Edo Period (17th century) to facilitate research into art history, especially the study of artistic style. It also provides corresponding metadata annotated by researchers with domain expertise.
KaoKore dataset contains 5552 image files, each being an color (RGB) image of size 256 x 256 as well as two sets of labels gender and social status..
Example of the KaoKore dataset, showing various faces in diverse yet coherent artisticstyles.
Labels (labels.csv) available in the dataset along with exemplary images belonging to each labels.
๐ You can run python3 download.py
download KaoKore datasets.
See the output of download.py --help
for more details.
It is known that some conda installations may have trouble looking for SSL certificates. If that is the case, you could use download.py --ssl_unverified_context
, at your own risk and only if you know what you are doing, to disable the certificate verification.
Data loaders for Pytorch and TensorFlow are available in code folder.
We provide quantitative resultson the supervised machine learning tasks of gender and social status prediction from KaoKore images. (Keras classification code is available in code folder)
