DiDeMo (Distinct Describable Moments)
The Distinct Describable Moments (DiDeMo) dataset is one of the largest and most diverse datasets for the temporal localization of events in videos given natural language descriptions. The videos are collected from Flickr and each video is trimmed to a maximum of 30 seconds. The videos in the dataset are divided into 5-second segments to reduce the complexity of annotation. The dataset is split into training, validation and test sets containing 8,395, 1,065 and 1,004 videos respectively. The dataset contains a total of 26,892 moments and one moment could be associated with descriptions from multiple annotators. The descriptions in DiDeMo dataset are detailed and contain camera movement, temporal transition indicators, and activities. Moreover, the descriptions in DiDeMo are verified so that each description refers to a single moment.

Papers archive 2025-07-28
30 shown of 46 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 216. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
The full list of 46 is in the JSON twin.
