## Dataset Summary

Implicit-VidSRL is a benchmark for the understanding of procedural steps in instructional videos. 
The dataset uses semantic role labeling (SRL) to model the semantics of narrated instructional video as simple 
predicate-argument structures like {verb,what,where/with}. The dataset contains implicit and explicit arguments which can be infered from
contextual information in multimodal cooking procedures.

## Dataset Details

  ### Dataset Sources
  - **Youcook2**: http://youcook2.eecs.umich.edu/
  - **Tasty**: https://cvml.comp.nus.edu.sg/tasty/

  ### Dataset Fields

  Each record in the dataset contains the following fields:
  - **video_id** (`str`): Video Id from the source dataset.
  - **dataset** (`str`): The name of the source dataset.
  - **title** (`int`): The title of the recipe.
  - **duration** (`str`): Duration of video in seconds.
  - **timestamps** (`List[List[float]]`): The list of timestamps corresponding to each recipe step in the video. Each timestamp entry contains start and end timestamp.
  - **sentences** (`List[str]`): The list of steps in the recipe. Each recipe step is natural text in English. 
  - **srl** (`List[Dict]`): The new annotation for each recipe step. Each list item corresponds to the recipe step with key enteries of verb/what/where containing ingredient entities. In addition it also has information about the implicit entities for each step.
