Rows: 9208 UMAP seed(s): 42 Source: data/tags_umap_no_embeddings.csv

Gemini Flash 3.0 was used to batch-process all files with two separate prompts, each returning two tag fields.

  • curated_Latvian_tags: tags returned by the curated prompt.
  • additional_Latvian_tags: extra Latvian tags returned by the same curated prompt when needed.
  • zero_shot_objects: object tags returned by the zero-shot prompt.
  • zero_shot_atmosphere: atmosphere tags returned by the same zero-shot prompt.
