Validation Process Guidelines

1. Access: Validation is a restricted function, available to select users only.

2. Randomization: Images for validation are delivered randomly, not necessarily those you've captioned or uploaded.

3. Actions:

   • Approve: Accept the caption as is
   • Reject: Decline the caption entirely
   • Edit: Modify the caption before approving
   • Delete: Remove the image and all associated captions
   • Skip: Move to the next image without taking action

4. Criteria for Validation:

   • Accuracy: Does the caption correctly describe the image?
   • Completeness: Are all relevant details included?
   • Clarity: Is the caption easy to understand?
   • Adherence to Guidelines: Does it follow the caption creation rules?

5. Editing: When editing, ensure you maintain the original intent while improving clarity or accuracy.

6. Objectivity: Validate based on the quality of the caption, not personal preferences about the image content.

7. Consistency: Try to maintain a consistent style across captions when possible.

Remember: Validation is crucial for maintaining dataset quality. Take your time and validate carefully!
