COCO Captions Explorer

The COCO Dataset contains more than 120,000 images with captions obtained from human annotators circa 2014 as documented in Chen et al 2015. These captions are relatively clean and uniform as annotators were carefully instructed and paid to write such captions. This dataset is maintained by the Common Visual Data Foundation and this page only provides a tool to search the data by captions. This is just a search tool. If you are interested in downloading the dataset visit their official project page at cocodataset.org.
