MSR-VTT (Microsoft Research Video to Text) is a large-scale dataset for the open domain video captioning, which consists of 10,000 video clips from 20 categories, and each video clip is annotated with 20 English sentences by Amazon Mechanical Turks. There are about 29,000 unique words in all captions. The standard splits uses 6,513 clips for training, 497 clips for validation, and 2,990 clips for testing.

The Microsoft Research Video Description Corpus (MSVD) dataset consists of about 120K sentences collected during the summer of 2010. Workers on Mechanical Turk were paid to watch a short video snippet and then summarize the action in a single sentence. The result is a set of roughly parallel descriptions of more than 2,000 video snippets. Because the workers were urged to complete the task in the language of their choice, both paraphrase and bilingual alternations are captured in the data.

YouCook2 is the largest task-oriented, instructional video dataset in the vision community. It contains 2000 long untrimmed videos from 89 cooking recipes; on average, each distinct recipe has 22 videos. The procedure steps for each video are annotated with temporal boundaries and described by imperative English sentences (see the example below). The videos were downloaded from YouTube and are all in the third-person viewpoint. All the videos are unconstrained and can be performed by individual persons at their houses with unfixed cameras. YouCook2 contains rich recipe types and various cooking styles from all over the world.

VATEX is multilingual, large, linguistically complex, and diverse dataset in terms of both video and natural language descriptions. It has two tasks for video-and-language research: (1) Multilingual Video Captioning, aimed at describing a video in various languages with a compact unified captioning model, and (2) Video-guided Machine Translation, to translate a source language description into the target language using the video information as additional spatiotemporal context.

VALUE is a Video-And-Language Understanding Evaluation benchmark to test models that are generalizable to diverse tasks, domains, and datasets. It is an assemblage of 11 VidL (video-and-language) datasets over 3 popular tasks: (i) text-to-video retrieval; (ii) video question answering; and (iii) video captioning. VALUE benchmark aims to cover a broad range of video genres, video lengths, data volumes, and task difficulty levels. Rather than focusing on single-channel videos with visual information only, VALUE promotes models that leverage information from both video frames and their associated subtitles, as well as models that share knowledge across multiple tasks.

Video-and-Language Inference is the task of joint multimodal understanding of video and text. Given a video clip with aligned subtitles as premise, paired with a natural language hypothesis based on the video content, a model needs to infer whether the hypothesis is entailed or contradicted by the given video clip. The Violin dataset is a dataset for this task which consists of 95,322 video-hypothesis pairs from 15,887 video clips, spanning over 582 hours of video. These video clips contain rich content with diverse temporal dynamics, event shifts, and people interactions, collected from two sources: (i) popular TV shows, and (ii) movie clips from YouTube channels.

TV show Caption is a large-scale multimodal captioning dataset, containing 261,490 caption descriptions paired with 108,965 short video moments. TVC is unique as its captions may also describe dialogues/subtitles while the captions in the other datasets are only describing the visual content.

ChinaOpen is a new video dataset targeted at open-world multimodal learning, with raw data gathered from Bilibili, a popular Chinese video-sharing website. The dataset has a large webly annotated training set of videos (associated with user-generated titles and tags) and a smaller manually annotated test set of videos (with manually checked user titles / tags, manually written captions, and manual labels describing what visual objects / actions / scenes shown in the visual content).

VidChapters-7M is a dataset of 817K user-chaptered videos including 7M chapters in total. VidChapters-7M is automatically created from videos online in a scalable manner by scraping user-annotated chapters and hence without any additional manual annotation. It is designed for training and evaluating models for video chapter generation with or without ground-truth boundaries, and video chapter grounding, as well as for video-language pretraining.

We construct a fine-grained video-text dataset with 12K annotated high-resolution videos (~400k clips). The annotation of this dataset is inspired by the video script. If we want to make a video, we have to first write a script to organize how to shoot the scenes in the videos. To shoot a scene, we need to decide the content, shot type (medium shot, close-up, etc), and how the camera moves (panning, tilting, etc). Therefore, we extend video captioning to video scripting by annotating the videos in the format of video scripts. Different from the previous video-text datasets, we densely annotate the entire videos without discarding any scenes and each scene has a caption with ~145 words. Besides the vision modality, we transcribe the voice-over into text and put it along with the video title to give more background information for annotating the videos.
