The dataset generation failed because of a cast error
Error code:   DatasetGenerationCastError
Exception:    DatasetGenerationCastError
Message:      An error occurred while generating the dataset

All the data files must have the same columns, but at some point there are 2 new columns ({'video_name', 'question'}) and 2 missing columns ({'answer', 'type'}).

This happened while the json dataset builder was generating data using

Activitynet-QA

The ActivityNet-QA dataset contains 58,000 human-annotated QA pairs on 5,800 videos derived from the popular ActivityNet dataset. The dataset provides a benckmark for testing the performance of VideoQA models on long-term spatio-temporal reasoning.

Splits

train: 32,000 QA pairs on 3,200 videos

val: 18,000 QA pairs on 1,800 videos

test: 8,000 QA pairs on 800 videos

Question Format

All the questions are stored in the *_q.json files. Each entry in the json file is of the following format.

{
  "video_name": str, 
  "question": str, 
  "question_id": str
}

The video_name field corresponds to the orginal video id in the ActivityNet dataset, the url for this video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<video_name>. The question_id field refer to the unique id for the question in the dataset. The question field contains the questions in English.

Answer Format

All the answers are stored in the *_a.json files. Each entry in the file is of the following format.

{
