MSVD (Microsoft Research Video Description Corpus)
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.

Papers archive 2025-07-28
30 shown of 40 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 327. 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 40 is in the JSON twin.
