Predicting Media Memorability Dataset

This dataset is intended to be used for assessing the prediction of how memorable a video will be. The PMMD dataset is a subset of a collection consisting of 1,500 short videos retrieved from TRECVid. Each video consists of a coherent unit in terms of meaning and is associated with two scores of memorability that refer to its probability to be remembered after two different durations of memory retention. Memorability is measured using recognition tests, i.e., through an objective measure, a few minutes after the memorization of the videos (short term), and then 24 to 72 hours later (long term). The dataset consists of 590 videos as part of the training set and 410 additional videos as part of the development set. The videos are shared under Creative Commons licenses that allow their redistribution.

The dataset was validated during the 2020 and 2021 MediaEval Benchmarking Initiative for Multimedia Evaluation.
