Multimodal Vision-Audio-Language Dataset

The Multimodal Vision-Audio-Language Dataset is a large-scale dataset for multimodal learning. It contains 2M video clips with corresponding audio and a textual description of the visual and auditory content. The dataset is an ensemble of existing datasets and fills the gap of missing modalities.
Details can be found in the attached report.
Annotation
The annotation files are provided as Parquet files. They can be read using Python and the pandas and pyarrow library.
The split into train, validation and test set follows the split of the original datasets.
Installation

pip install pandas pyarrow
Example

import pandas as pddf = pd.read_parquet('annotation_train.parquet', engine='pyarrow')print(df.iloc[0])

Can be NaN in case of no visual contentcaptions_auditory: A list of captions related to the auditory content of the videotags: A list of tags, classifying the sound of a file. It can be NaN if no tags are provided
