Panda-70M is a new large-scale video dataset comprising 70 million high-quality video clips, each paired with textual captions, designed to be used as pre-training for video understanding tasks.
Key Points:
* Automatic Caption Generation: Utilizes an automatic pipeline with multiple cross-modality teacher models to generate captions for video clips.
* Fine-tuned Caption Selection: Employs a fine-tuned retrieval model to select the most appropriate caption from multiple candidates for each video clip.
* Improved Performance: Pre-training on Panda-70M shows significant performance gains in video captioning, text-video retrieval, and text-driven video generation.
