+ ### Dataset Summary
36
+
37
+ With over 10 million images covering 454 thousand taxa in the tree of life, TreeOfLife-10M is the largest-to-date ML-ready dataset of images of biological organisms paired with their associated taxonomic labels. It expands on the foundation established by existing high-quality datasets, such as iNat21 and BIOSCAN-1M, by further incorporating newly curated images from the Encyclopedia of Life (eol.org), which supplies most of TreeOfLife-10M’s data diversity. Every image in TreeOfLife-10M is labeled to the most specific taxonomic level possible, as well as higher taxonomic ranks in the tree of life (see [Text Types](#text-types) for examples of taxonomic ranks and labels). TreeOfLife-10M was generated for the purpose of training [BioCLIP](https://huggingface.co/imageomics/bioclip) and future biology foundation models.

76
+ Each `image_set` is approximately 30GB and contains 100 thousand images, each named `<treeoflife_id>.jpg`.
77
+ We cannot reproduce the `iNat21` data, but after downloading it and BIOSCAN-1M, one can follow the directions from step 6 of [docs/imageomics/treeoflife10m.md](https://github.com/Imageomics/bioclip/blob/main/docs/imageomics/treeoflife10m.md) in the BioCLIP GitHub repo to combine them with the EOL data into the proper webdataset structure. This will produce a collection of files named `shard-######.tar` in a `train`, `val`, and `train_small` folder with which to work.
78
+
79
+ Inside each shard is a collection of images (named `<treeoflife_id>.jpg`), for which each has the following files:
80
+ ```
81
+ <treeoflife_id>.com.txt
82
+ <treeoflife_id>.common_name.txt

96
+ ### Data Instances
97
+
98
+
99
+ This dataset is a collection of images with associated text. The text matched to images contains both [Linnaean taxonomy](https://www.britannica.com/science/taxonomy/The-objectives-of-biological-classification) (kingdom through species) for the particular subject of the image and its common (or vernacular) name where available. There are 8,455,243 images with full taxonomic labels.
100
+
101
+
102
+ ### Data Fields
103
+
104
+ #### Metadata Files
105
+
106
+ `catalog.csv`: contains the following metadata associated with each image in the dataset
107
+ - `split`: indicates which data split the image belongs to (`train`, `val`, or `train_small`), `train_small` is a duplicated subset of `train` and thus should not be included when analyzing overall stats of the dataset.
108
+ - `treeoflife_id`: unique identifier for the image in the dataset.
109
+ - `eol_content_id`: unique identifier within EOL database for images sourced from [EOL](https://eol.org). Note that EOL content IDs are not stable.
110
+ - `eol_page_id`: identifier of page from which images from EOL are sourced. Note that an image's association to a particular page ID may change with updates to the EOL (or image provider's) hierarchy. However, EOL taxon page IDs are stable.
111
+ - `bioscan_part`: indicates to which of the 113 data chunks of [BIOSCAN-1M](https://github.com/zahrag/BIOSCAN-1M#-iv-rgb-images) each image belongs. Note that there are 10K images per chunk and 8,313 in chunk #113.
112
+ - `bioscan_filename`: unique identifier within BIOSCAN-1M dataset for images sourced from [BIOSCAN-1M](https://github.com/zahrag/BIOSCAN-1M).
113
+ - `inat21_filename`: unique identifier within iNat21 dataset for images sourced from [iNat21](https://github.com/visipedia/inat_comp/blob/master/2021/README.md).
114
+ <!-- (`file_name` given in `images` of the [`train.json`](https://github.com/visipedia/inat_comp/tree/master/2021#annotation-format) `file_name` = "train/#####_Kingdom_Phylum_..._Genus_species/STRING(uuid?).jpg"). `inat21_filename` is the end of the `file_name` string. The taxa are the `cls_name`, and the number is the `cls_num` (leading 0 may be lost here).-->
115
+ - `inat21_cls_name`: `<Kingdom>_<Phylum>_<Class>_<Order>_<Family>_<Genus>_<species>` as labeled by iNaturalist.
116
+ - `inat21_cls_num`: Number assigned by iNat21 to the given species (unique identifier for that species within iNat21 dataset).
117
+ The remaining terms describe the _Linnaean taxonomy_ of the subject of the image; they are sourced as described in [Annotation Process, below](#annotation-process).
118
+ - `kingdom`: kingdom to which the subject of the image belongs (`Animalia`, `Plantae`, `Fungi`, `Chromista`, `Protozoa`, `Bacteria`, `Viridiplantae`, `Protista`, `Orthornavirae`, `Bamfordvirae`, `Archaea`, or `Shotokuvirae`). Note: this large number of kingdoms are considered in recognition of the fact that there is not agreement on merging them.
119
+ - `phylum`: phylum to which the subject of the image belongs.
120
+ - `class`: class to which the subject of the image belongs.
121
+ - `order`: order to which the subject of the image belongs.
122
+ - `family`: family to which the subject of the image belongs.
123
+ - `genus`: genus to which the subject of the image belongs.
124
+ - `species`: species to which the subject of the image belongs.
125
+ - `common`: common name associated with the subject of the image where available. Otherwise, this is the scientific name (`genus-species`), else whatever subset of the taxonomic hierarchy is available (eg., `kingdom-phylum-class-order` or `kingdom-phylum-class-order-family`). All images have a non-null entry for this column.
126
+
127
+ Note that the `species` column occasionally has entries such as "sp. ___(get ex)" with some string following. This seems to be used to indicate the species is unknown, but various specimens/images are known to be the same species. Additionally, for `species` values containing an `x` between names, this is indicative of a hybrid that is a cross of the two species listed on either side of the `x`.

180
+ ### Data Splits
181
+
182
+ As noted above, the `split` column of `catalog.csv` indicates to which split each image belongs. Note that `train_small` is a 1M-image, uniformly sampled, subset of `train` used for fine-tuned ablation training and all entries with this label are also listed with the `train` label. The `val` label is applied to images used for validation.
183
+
184
+ 10 biologically-relevant datasets were used for various tests of [BioCLIP](https://huggingface.co/imageomics/bioclip) (which was trained on this dataset), they are described (briefly) and linked to below.
185
+
186
+ #### Test Sets
187
+
188
+ - [Meta-Album](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/meta-album): Specifically, we used the Plankton, Insects, Insects 2, PlantNet, Fungi, PlantVillage, Medicinal Leaf, and PlantDoc datasets from Set-0 through Set-2 (Set-3 was still not released as of our publication/evaluation (Nov. 2023).
189
+ - [Birds 525](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/gpiosenka/100-bird-species): We evaluated on the 2,625 test images provided with the dataset.
190
+ - [Rare Species](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/rare-species): A new dataset we curated for the purpose of testing this model and to contribute to the ML for Conservation community. It consists of 400 species labeled Near Threatened through Extinct in the Wild by the [IUCN Red List](https://www.iucnredlist.org/), with 30 images per species. For more information, see our dataset, [Rare Species](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/rare-species).
191
+
192
+ For more information about the contents of these datasets, see Table 2 and associated sections of [our paper](https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2311.18803).
193
+
194
+ ## Dataset Creation
195
+
196
+ ### Curation Rationale
197
+
198
+ Previously, the largest ML-ready biology image dataset was [iNat21](https://github.com/visipedia/inat_comp/tree/master/2021), which consists of 2.7M images of 10K species. This is significant breadth when comparing to popular general-domain datasets, such as [ImageNet-1K](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imagenet-1k); 10K species are rather limited when considering the vast scope of biology. For context, in 2022, [The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)](https://www.iucnredlist.org/) reported over 2M total described species, with over 10K distinct species of birds and reptiles alone. Thus, the lesser species diversity of iNat21 limits its potential for pre-training a foundation model for the entire tree of life.
199
+
200
+ With this focus on species diversity and the need for high-quality images of biological organisms, we looked to the [Encyclopedia of Life Project (EOL)](https://eol.org/). EOL is an image aggregator that collaborates with a variety of institutions to source and label millions of images. After downloading 6.6M images from EOL, we were able to expand our dataset to cover an additional 440K taxa.
201
+
202
+ Insects (of the class Insecta with 1M+ species), birds (of the class Aves with 10K+ species) and reptiles (of the class Reptilia with 10K+ species) are examples of highly diverse subtrees with many more species than other taxonomic classes. This imbalance among subtrees in the tree of life present challenges in training a foundation model that can recognize extremely fine-grained visual representations of these classes. To help address this challenge for insects, we incorporated [BIOSCAN-1M](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.8030064), a recent dataset of 1M expert-labeled lab images of insects, covering 494 different families. The added variety of lab images, rather than in situ images (as in iNat21), further diversifies the _image_ distribution of TreeOfLife-10M.
203
+
204
+ Overall, this dataset contains approximately 454K unique taxonomic labels of the more than 2M recorded by [IUCN](iucnredlist.org) in 2022. To the best of our knowledge, this is still the most diverse and largest such ML-ready dataset available, hence our curation.
205
+
206
+
207
+ ### Source Data
208
+
209
+ [iNat21 data](https://github.com/visipedia/inat_comp/tree/master/2021#data) was downloaded, unzipped, and our compilation scripts pointed to the training split. As per their [terms of use](https://github.com/visipedia/inat_comp/tree/master/2021#terms-of-use), the data is catalogued, but not reproduced, here.
210
+
211
+ [BIOSCAN-1M](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.8030064): Collection of insect images hand-labeled by experts.
212
+
213
+ [EOL](https://eol.org/): Biological image aggregator.
214
+
215
+ #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
216
+
217
+ [iNat21 training data](https://github.com/visipedia/inat_comp/tree/master/2021#data) and [BIOSCAN-1M data](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.8030064) were downloaded and assigned `treeoflife_id`s for unique identification within the TreeOfLife-10M dataset. The iNat21 training data is formatted into a webdataset format prior to `treeoflife_id` assignments, since this is also used for a comparison to [BioCLIP](https://huggingface.co/imageomics/bioclip) as trained on the full TreeOfLife-10M dataset. For more detailed information on this process, please see [How to Create TreeOfLife-10M](https://github.com/Imageomics/bioclip/tree/main/docs/imageomics/treeoflife10m.md#how-to-create-treeoflife-10m) in the BioCLIP GitHub repo.
218
+
219
+ First, media manifest data was sourced from EOL using [this script](https://github.com/Imageomics/bioclip/blob/main/scripts/get_media_manifest.py). The media manifest includes EOL content and page IDs from which to connect the taxonomic information, along with source URLs and licensing information. The `EOL Full-Size Copy URL` was then used to download all the images, naming each `<eol_content_id>_<eol_page_id>_eol_full-size-copy.jpg` for reference back to the media manifest. [Scripts](https://github.com/Imageomics/bioclip/tree/main/scripts/evobio10m) to perform these downloads and [instructions](https://github.com/Imageomics/bioclip/blob/main/docs/imageomics/treeoflife10m.md) can be found in the [BioCLIP GitHub repository](https://github.com/Imageomics/bioclip).
220
+
221
+ See [below](#Annotation-Process) for details of annotation following data collection.
222
+
223
+ Species selected for the Rare Species dataset were removed from this dataset (see [Initial Data Collection and Normalization of Rare Species](https://huggingface.co/datasets/imageomics/rare-species#initial-data-collection-and-normalization)).
224
+
225
+
226
+ ### Annotations
227
+
228
+ #### Annotation Process
229
+
230
+ Annotations were primarily sourced from image source providers.
231
+
232
+ For iNat21 and BIOSCAN-1M images, the labels provided by those sources were used.
233
+ - iNat21: iNaturalist English vernacular names and taxa were used.
234
+ - BIOSCAN-1M: Linnaean taxonomic rankings were applied as labeled in the [BIOSCAN-1M dataset](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.8030064), which is all hand-labeled by experts. Note that the dataset provides other ranks (not considered in the 7-rank Linnaean taxonomy), such as tribe, which were not included in this dataset.
235
+
236
+ For images from EOL, the scientific name (`genus-species`) was used to look up the higher-order taxa from the following sources as listed: BIOSCAN-1M metadata, EOL aggregate datasets (described below), then match this against the ITIS hierarchy for the higher-order taxa standardization. A small number of these are [homonyms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homonym_(biology)), for which a list was generated to ensure proper matching of higher-order taxa (manual homonym resolution is in class `NameUpgrader` in the [naming script](https://github.com/Imageomics/bioclip/blob/main/src/imageomics/naming.py)). After these resources were exhausted, any remaining unresolved taxa were fed through the [Global Names Resolver (GNR) API](https://resolver.globalnames.org/api). Despite our efforts, we discovered after training that some hemihomonyms were mislabeled at higher-level taxa (family up to kingdom). This impacts approximately 0.1-0.2% of our data. We are in the process of developing a more robust solution to taxonomic labeling which will also account for re-naming (as is currently in process for many bird species). We intend to release a patch alongside the solution.
237
+
238
+ This process allowed us to reach full taxa labels for 84% of images. To put this in perspective, 10% of images in TreeOfLife-10M are only labeled to the `family` level (no `genus-species` designations) as part of BIOSCAN-1M, so this places a cap on the taxa coverage. Taxonomic ranking also is not entirely standardized and agreed-upon throughout the biology community, so most gaps are more indicative of lack of consensus on label than missing information.

+
250
+ ### Social Impact of Dataset
251
+
252
+ The hope is that this dataset could be helpful in conservation efforts or biodiversity research.
253
+
254
+ ### Discussion of Biases and Other Known Limitations
255
+
256
+ This dataset is imbalanced in its representation of various species with the greatest representation available for those in the phyla _Arthropoda_, _Tracheophyta_, and _Chordata_ (see our [interactive treemap from phylum to family](https://huggingface.co/imageomics/treeoflife-10m/raw/main/phyla_ToL_tree.html) for further details of this distribution). This class imbalance is both a result of availability of images and actual variance in class diversity. Additionally, as noted above, there are 2M+ estimated species according to [IUCN](iucnredlist.org), so overall taxonomic coverage is still limited (though it far surpasses the species diversity of other well-known animal datasets).
257
+
258
+ Not all data is labeled to the species level, and some entries are more or less precise. For instance, the `species` column occasionally has entries such as "sp. ___(get ex)" with some string following. This seems to be used to indicate the species is unknown, but various specimens/images are known to be the same species. Additionally, for `species` values containing an `x` between names, this is indicative of a hybrid that is a cross of the two species listed on either side of the `x`. Due to the additional information provided about the higher order taxa, these labeling anomalies still present valuable information providing links between these classes.
259
+
260
+
261
+ As stated above, 84% of images have full taxa labels. However, due to the incomplete standardization and agreement on the taxonomic hierarchy throughout the biology community, most gaps are more indicative of lack of consensus on label than missing information.
262
+
263
+ Note that BIOSCAN-1M’s label granularity may still be limited for insects, as 98.6% of BIOSCAN-1M’s images are labeled to the family level but only 22.5% and 7.5% of the images have genus or species indicated, respectively. Lack of label granularity is an inherent challenge.
