| # K9Bench 🐕 |
|
|
| K9Bench is a video question-answering benchmark for evaluating fine-grained understanding of canine actions, and interactions in real-world YouTube videos. |
|
|
|
|
| ## Dataset Summary |
|
|
| Each sample pairs a YouTube video with a multiple-choice question requiring detailed visual understanding of dog behavior. Questions span five categories: action sequence, cause-effect analysis, context analysis, interaction analysis, and posture analysis. |
|
|
| ## Dataset Structure |
|
|
| | Field | Type | Description | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | `idx` | int | Unique sequential index | |
| | `video_url` | string | Full YouTube URL | |
| | `question_category` | string | One of 5 categories | |
| | `question` | string | The question about the video | |
| | `options` | dict | Five answer choices (A–E) | |
| | `correct_answer` | string | Ground-truth answer (A–E) | |
|
|
| ## Question Categories |
|
|
| - **action sequence** — ordering of behavioral events |
| - **cause-effect analysis** — causal relationships between actions |
| - **context analysis** — situational and environmental influences |
| - **interaction analysis** — social signals between animals or humans |
| - **posture analysis** — body language and physical cues |
