CMPlaces is designed to train and evaluate cross-modal scene recognition models. It covers five different modalities: natural images, sketches, clip-art, text descriptions, and spatial text images. Each example in the dataset is annotated with one of the 205 scene labels from Places, which is one of the largest scene datasets available today. Hence, the examples in our dataset span a large number of natural situations. Examples in our dataset are not paired between modalities, encouraging researches to develop methods that learn strong alignments from weakly aligned data.

We chose these modalities for two reasons. Firstly, since the goal of the dataset is to study transfer across significantly different modalities, we seek modalities with different statistics to those of natural images (such as line drawings and text). Secondly, these modalities are easier to generate than real images, which is relevant to applications such as image retrieval. In total, contains more than ~1 million images comprising 205 unique scene categories and 5 modalities.
