Abstract

Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in image-based question-answering (QA) tasks.However, due to data limitations, there has been much less work on video-based QA.In this paper, we present TVQA, a largescale video QA dataset based on 6 popular TV shows.TVQA consists of 152,545 QA pairs from 21,793 clips, spanning over 460 hours of video.Questions are designed to be compositional in nature, requiring systems to jointly localize relevant moments within a clip, comprehend subtitle-based dialogue, and recognize relevant visual concepts.We provide analyses of this new dataset as well as several baselines and a multi-stream end-to-end trainable neural network framework for the TVQA task.The dataset is publicly available at http://tvqa.cs.unc.edu.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
