MONET: A Massive, Open, Non-redundant and Enriched Text-to-image dataset

Training large text-to-image models requires high-quality, curated datasets with diverse content and detailed captions. Yet the cost and complexity of collecting, filtering, deduplicating, and re-captioning such corpora at scale hinders open and reproducible research in the field. We introduce MONET, an open Apache 2.0 dataset of approx. 104.9M image--text pairs collected from 2.9B raw pairs across heterogeneous open sources through successive stages of safety filtering, domain-based filtering,
