VATEX multilingual (en/zh) video retrieval (MTEB)
Cross-lingual video retrieval over VATEX, which captions every clip in both English and Chinese. The two subsets share one video corpus and differ only in caption language, which makes a like-for-like cross-lingual comparison possible.
Prepared for MTEB as
VATEXMultilingualT2VRetrieval and VATEXMultilingualV2TRetrieval.
Contents
| config | rows | description |
|---|---|---|
videos |
993 | shared video corpus, 10s clips |
en |
993 | English captions (id, text, video_id) |
zh |
993 | Chinese captions (id, text, video_id) |
Why the validation split
mteb's existing English VATEX tasks are built from the test split. VATEX publishes Chinese captions only for validation, and the two splits are disjoint — there is zero id overlap with the 5,162 publicly hosted test clips. The Chinese side therefore cannot be added to the existing tasks and needs its own build. This dataset complements those tasks rather than duplicating them.
Two source issues this build corrects
Untrimmed videos. The published archive contains whole source videos, not the
annotated 10-second windows. Sampled clips ran 15s to 406s against a 10s annotation, so
retrieving one against a caption describing a 10s slice would be mostly noise. Every clip
is cut to the [start, end] range encoded in its id.
Malformed URLs. The url column of lmms-lab/vatex_from_url appends the whole clip
id to a watch URL (...?v=G9zN5TTuGO4_000179_000189), where only G9zN5TTuGO4 is the
video id and 000179_000189 is the second range. The id is parsed instead.
993 of 1,000 selected clips trimmed cleanly; 7 raised a muxer ArgumentError on
re-encode and were dropped rather than shipped untrimmed. The first caption per language
is used, matching the convention of the existing English VATEX tasks.
Construction script: scripts/data/vatex_multilingual_retrieval/create_data.py in the
MTEB repo.
Licence
VATEX releases its captions and annotations under CC-BY-4.0, but that licence does
not extend to the videos: the authors state they cannot redistribute the video files
themselves, which remain subject to YouTube's terms and the original rights holders.
Because this dataset contains video clips as well as captions, it is marked other
rather than CC-BY-4.0, and the MTEB task metadata uses not specified — matching the
existing English VATEX tasks in mteb, which host video for the same reason.
