๐Ÿ“ฎ [2025-08] We have updated to a larger dataset, which contains nearly 80 million samples, with significant improvements in both data quality and diversity. [link]

๐Ÿ“ฎ [2024-02] We trained a formula recognition model, ๐“๐ž๐ฑ๐“๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ซ, using the latex-formulas dataset. It can convert LaTeX formulas into images and boasts high accuracy and strong generalization capabilities, covering most formula recognition scenarios.

Dataset Description

ไธญๆ–‡็‰ˆๆœฌ

There are two datasets: raw_formulas and cleaned_formulas(This dataset has 550K formula-image pairs).

We scraped approximately 1 million LaTeX formula image-text pairs from arxiv that were uncleaned and without text segmentation to create the raw_formulas dataset. After cleaning the raw_formulas dataset and integrating it with the im2latex-100K dataset, we obtained the cleaned_formulas dataset, which has 550K formula-image pairs.

To render the images corresponding to the formulas, the following external packages are needed:

  • amsmath
  • amsfonts
  • amssymb
  • mathtools

Usage

for raw_formulas dataset:

from datasets import load_dataset
data = load_dataset("OleehyO/latex-formulas", "raw_formulas") 

for cleaned_formulas dataset:

from datasets import load_dataset
data = load_dataset("OleehyO/latex-formulas", "cleaned_formulas") 

Details About the raw_formulas Dataset

We scraped LaTeX formulas containing the following environments:

  • equation
  • align
  • align*
  • gather
  • gather*

The formulas do not include the following content:

  • \label
  • %
  • \quad
  • \qquad
  • \vspace
  • \hspace
  • \resizebox
  • \scalebox
  • \rotatebox
  • \parbox
  • \fbox
  • \makebox
  • \raisebox
  • \addvspace
  • \hfill
  • \vfill
  • \textwidth
  • \textheight
  • \rule

Preprocessing Details of the cleaned_formulas Dataset

Cleaning

  • We removed some useless junk data from both raw_formulas and im2latex-100K.
  • We deleted overly complex formulas from both raw_formulas and im2latex-100K:
    • Formulas were deleted if the aspect ratio of the corresponding rendered image was greater than 0.8.
    • Formulas with a character length greater than 200 were deleted.
  • In the formulas from both raw_formulas and im2latex-100K, the following content was removed:
    • \tag
    • \text
    • \begin{split}
    • \end{split}
    • \nonumber
    • \notag
  • The equation, equation*, align, \[...\] environments in raw_formulas were all replaced with the align* environment.
  • We deleted formulas from raw_formulas that contained custom macros.
