TVQA
The TVQA dataset is a large-scale video dataset for video question answering. It is based on 6 popular TV shows (Friends, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, House M.D., Grey's Anatomy, Castle). It includes 152,545 QA pairs from 21,793 TV show clips. The QA pairs are split into the ratio of 8:1:1 for training, validation, and test sets. The TVQA dataset provides the sequence of video frames extracted at 3 FPS, the corresponding subtitles with the video clips, and the query consisting of a question and four answer candidates. Among the four answer candidates, there is only one correct answer.
