Introduced by Sami Abu-El-Haija et al. in YouTube-8M: A Large-Scale Video Classification Benchmark1 Jan 2016 archive 2025-07-28

The YouTube-8M dataset is a large scale video dataset, which includes more than 7 million videos with 4716 classes labeled by the annotation system. The dataset consists of three parts: training set, validate set, and test set. In the training set, each class contains at least 100 training videos. Features of these videos are extracted by the state-of-the-art popular pre-trained models and released for public use. Each video contains audio and visual modality. Based on the visual information, videos are divided into 24 topics, such as sports, game, arts & entertainment, etc

4 shown of 4 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 147. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
