New MObyGaze dataset tackles gender objectification in films

Researchers have introduced the MObyGaze dataset, a comprehensive collection of film data designed to analyze and quantify gender representation disparities and objectification. The dataset includes over 43 hours of video from 20 movies, meticulously annotated by experts with fine-grained localization and categorization of objectification levels and concepts across visual, speech, and audio modalities. The study also formulates learning tasks, investigates methods for handling diverse labels from a small annotator pool, and benchmarks recent vision, text, and audio models to demonstrate the feasibility of this new AI task.
