Predicting Media Interestingness Dataset

This dataset is intended to be used for assessing the quality of methods for automatic prediction of interestingness of images and videos. It contains interestingness annotations for 103 movie trailers and 4 continuous extracts of ca. 15min from full-length movies.

The dataset was validated during the 2017 Predicting Media Interestingness Task at the MediaEval Benchmarking Initiative for Multimedia Evaluation.
