Dataset Summary

The Tumblr GIF (TGIF) dataset contains 100K animated GIFs and 120K sentences describing visual content of the animated GIFs. The animated GIFs have been collected from Tumblr, from randomly selected posts published between May and June of 2015. We provide the URLs of animated GIFs in this release. The sentences are collected via crowdsourcing, with a carefully designed annotation interface that ensures high quality dataset. We provide one sentence per animated GIF for the training and validation splits, and three sentences per GIF for the test split. The dataset shall be used to evaluate animated GIF/video description techniques.

Languages

The captions in the dataset are in English.

Annotations

Quoting TGIF paper:
"We annotated animated GIFs with natural language descriptions using the crowdsourcing service CrowdFlower. We carefully designed our annotation task with various quality control mechanisms to ensure the sentences are both syntactically and semantically of high quality. A total of 931 workers participated in our annotation task. We allowed workers only from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK and USA in an effort to collect fluent descriptions from native English speakers. Figure 2 shows the instructions given to the workers. Each task showed 5 animated GIFs and asked the worker to describe each with one sentence. To promote language style diversity, each worker could rate no more than 800 images (0.7% of our corpus). We paid 0.02 USD per sentence; the entire crowdsourcing cost less than 4K USD. We provide details of our annotation task in the supplementary material."
