LAION's Big Video Dataset (BVD) is one of the largest open video datasets for AI research, with 80 million videos, 10 million hours of runtime, and 55 million auto-described clips. Models trained on BVD beat the previous benchmark, InternVid, by up to 2.1 percentage points. Legally, LAION can likely point to a 2024 Hamburg court ruling that allows collecting copyrighted content for non-commercial research.<br /> The article LAION drops massive open video dataset with 10 million hours of footage for AI research appeared first on The Decoder.
