Find a Dataset on Universe

Learn how to find data to use in your vision projects on Universe.

To find a dataset on Universe, type in what you want to identify into the search bar.

A list of results will appear with datasets semantically related to your query:

By default, Universe uses a CLIP-based semantic search to find datasets that match your query. If you want to search by keyword, toggle the "Search By" option and choose "Metadata".

You can filter search results by:

• Datasets that have a model

• Project type (object detection, classification, segmentation, keypoint detection, multimodal.)

• The type of model trained (i.e. YOLOv12)

There are also advanced filters that you can use to further refine your search by the number of images in a dataset, the number of stars the project has, and more.

You can click on an individual dataset to find out more about the data.

The Classes list tells you what classes have been used as labels in the dataset. Classes can be renamed if you import the dataset into your workspace.
