OmniRet training dataset
OmniRet-train is the training-data release for
OmniRet, a unified retrieval model for
text, image, video, and audio. This card documents the released snapshot for
researchers training or analyzing OmniRet.
Dataset summary
The release contains 6,405,109 query rows and 7,119,841 candidate rows from 30 datasets. It covers 15 retrieval directions across text (T), image (I), video (V), and audio (A). The OmniRet paper reports this corpus as approximately 6.4 million query-candidate pairs.
Provenance
OmniRet starts from the M-BEIR universal retrieval benchmark and extends it with text, image-text, video-text, audio-text, and audio-visual training data. The source groups follow the training-data section and Table 10 of the OmniRet paper.
| Source group | Datasets |
|---|---|
| M-BEIR foundation | NIGHTS, WebQA, VisualNews, Fashion200K, MSCOCO, EDIS, OVEN, InfoSeek, FashionIQ, CIRR |
| Added text retrieval | MS MARCO, HotpotQA, Natural Questions, PAQ, StackExchange, NLI, SQuAD |
| Added image-text and composed image retrieval | LLaVA-558K, CC-CoIR, MTCIR |
| Added video-text and composed video retrieval | TGIF, Charades, WebVid2M, PE-Video, WebCoVR |
| Added audio-text retrieval | AudioCaps, Clotho v2.1, WavText5K, WavCaps |
| Added audio-visual retrieval | VGGSound |
Retrieval tasks
| Family | Directions |
|---|---|
| Unimodal | I → I; T → T |
| Cross-modal binding | I → T; T → I; V → T; T → V; A → T; T → A |
| Composed retrieval | T → (I,T); (I,T) → T; (I,T) → I; (I,T) → (I,T); (V,T) → V |
| Audio-visual binding | A → V; V → A |

Download the repository to the canonical training path:
hf download chuonghm/OmniRet-train \
--repo-type dataset \
--local-dir /data1/omniret/OmniRet-train-data
The published media index stores Parquet paths below
/data1/omniret/OmniRet-train-data. Use that location, or provide a compatible
media index when using another root.
Relationship to the ACM benchmark
The OmniRet paper also introduces the separate
Audio-Centric Multimodal benchmark (ACM),
curated from VGGSound. ACM evaluates composed audio retrieval (A,T → A) and
bidirectional audio-image and audio-video retrieval (A → I, I → A, A → V,
V → A). Use chuonghm/ACM for evaluation; this training repository does not
replace the benchmark release.
Data terms
This repository is a transformed compilation of upstream datasets. Underlying examples remain subject to their original licenses and terms. Review the M-BEIR dataset card and the source references in Table 10 of the OmniRet paper before redistribution or commercial use.
