datasets

Prompt-corpus datasets for end-to-end benchmark evaluation.

Public API mirrors :mod:fastvideo.eval (metrics side):

from fastvideo.eval.datasets import (
    PromptDataset, Sample,
    register_dataset, get_dataset, list_datasets,
)

A dataset is an iterable of plain dicts (one per sample). Built-in datasets self-register at import time. To add one, drop a module into this package that subclasses :class:PromptDataset and decorates with @register_dataset("name") — auto-discovery picks it up.

Classes

fastvideo.eval.datasets.PromptDataset

PromptDataset()

Iterable corpus of sample dicts. Subclasses populate self._rows.

Source code in fastvideo/eval/datasets/base.py
def __init__(self) -> None:
    self._rows: list[dict] = []

Methods:

fastvideo.eval.datasets.PromptDataset.by_dimension
by_dimension() -> dict[str, list[dict]]

Group samples by dimension. A multi-dim sample appears under each.

Source code in fastvideo/eval/datasets/base.py
def by_dimension(self) -> dict[str, list[dict]]:
    """Group samples by dimension. A multi-dim sample appears under each."""
    out: dict[str, list[dict]] = {}
    for s in self._rows:
        for d in s.get("dimensions", ()):
            out.setdefault(d, []).append(s)
    return out

fastvideo.eval.datasets.Sample

Bases: TypedDict

Documented schema for a row yielded by :class:PromptDataset.

Only prompt is required. Extra keys beyond these are forwarded to the runner's eval-kwargs builder verbatim, so action-conditioned or audio-bearing benchmarks can add their own fields without changing the base class.

fastvideo.eval.datasets.VBenchPromptDataset

VBenchPromptDataset(dimensions: list[str] | str = 'all', full_info_path: str | Path | None = None)

Bases: PromptDataset

VBench prompts filtered by evaluation dimension.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
dimensions list[str] | str

List of dimension names, or "all". Unknown dimensions raise ValueError.

'all'
full_info_path str | Path | None

Optional override for VBench_full_info.json; defaults to autodetection.

None

A prompt that belongs to several requested dimensions is yielded once; its dimensions list carries all matches so the scorer can route.

        # Strip the outer {dim_name: ...} wrapper from upstream's aux
        # schema so every metric reads its inputs from a flat dict.
        #
        # This unwraps exactly one level — the dimension key. Whatever
        # shape lives inside is the metric's contract:
        #
        #   color:                {"color": {"color": "red"}}
        #     → flat: {"color": "red"}                  (scalar)
        #
        #   object_class:         {"object_class": {"object": "person"}}
        #     → flat: {"object": "person"}              (scalar)
        #
        #   multiple_objects:     {"multiple_objects": {"object": "a and b"}}
        #     → flat: {"object": "a and b"}             (scalar)
        #
        #   spatial_relationship: {"spatial_relationship":
        #                            {"spatial_relationship":
        #                                {"object_a": ..., "object_b": ...,
        #                                 "relationship": ...}}}
        #     → flat: {"spatial_relationship": {object_a,object_b,relationship}}
        #
        # Note the spatial_relationship case keeps a nested inner dict
        # by design — upstream double-wraps it, the SpatialRelationship
        # metric reads ``aux["spatial_relationship"]`` expecting that
        # inner dict. Don't "simplify" the wrapping away.
