VALUE (Video-And-Language Understanding Evaluation)

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.

The datasets used for the VALUE benchmark are: TVQA, TVR, TVC, How2R, How2QA, VIOLIN, VLEP, YouCook2 (YC2C, YC2R), VATEX
