As a small Christmas present I have created the Image-text dataset using digitalized artworks from National Gallery of Denmark and their text descriptions in Danish/English (when available)
The dataset was collected using SMK API (www.smk.dk/article/smk-...)

Hi5 was an early social platform, launched in 2003. Americans mostly ignored it. Big in Latin America & Southeast Asia with tens of millions of users at its peak, today it’s mostly social games & dating.
