## Introduction
We present BASKET, a large-scale basketball video dataset for fine-grained skill estimation. BASKET contains **4,477** hours of video capturing **32,232** basketball players from all over the world. Compared to prior skill estimation datasets, our dataset includes a massive number of skilled participants with unprecedented diversity in terms of gender, age, skill level, geographical location, etc. BASKET includes **20** fine-grained basketball skills, challenging modern video recognition models to capture the intricate nuances of player skill through in-depth video analysis. Given a long highlight video (8-10 minutes) of a particular player, the model needs to predict the skill level (e.g., excellent, good, average, fair, poor) for each of the 20 basketball skills. Our empirical analysis reveals that the current state-of-the-art video models struggle with this task, significantly lagging behind the human baseline. We believe that BASKET could be a useful resource for developing new video models with advanced long-range, fine-grained recognition capabilities. In addition, we hope that our dataset will be useful for domain-specific applications such as fair basketball scouting, personalized player development, and many others.

### Annotation Structure
The CSV file includes the video path for each player along with their corresponding ratings for 20 skills. Conceptually, a rating of 0 indicates poor performance in a skill, while a rating of 4 represents excellence.
- We recommand changing the annotation file video path to complete path once downloaded. e.g. /User/my_user_name/BASKET_video/18-19/...mp4
- Conceptually for the defensive consistency skill, a lower rating is better (i.e., 0 represents excellent defense).
### Checkpoint
You can find each model's checkpoint [here](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/yyz359p9tvjgzfaa0hi3o/ACGzVmqaTVkotDl_gH9n9kk?rlkey=rlv3ahno6q78imxwbigk3qlsg&st=cf57kgir&dl=0)
## Training
We trained and tested on 8 NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPUs. Results may slightly vary due to non-fixed random seeds, GPU specifications, and data transmission.
