Overview

GitHub Repo

Pre-extracted multimodal features for MovieLens 1M, enabling research on visual, textual, and acoustic perception in recommendation systems. Derived from movie trailers and metadata, processed with state-of-the-art encoders.

Modality Encoder Dimension Size
Visual ResNet50 (ImageNet pre-trained) 3,706 × 1,000 ~30 MB
Textual Sentence-Transformers 3,706 × 384 ~12 MB
Acoustic VGGish (YouTube-8M pre-trained) 3,706 × 128 ~4 MB
Interactions User-Item ratings with metadata 1,000,209 records ~39 MB

Download Components:

Visual (ResNet50) Textual (SBERT) Acoustic (VGGish) Interactions (TSV)

Note: All features are stored in NumPy .npy format (float32). The interaction file follows RecBole format with fields: userID, itemID, rating, timestamp, x_label (sensitive attribute), u_gender, u_age, u_occupation. Total dataset size: ~85 MB. A single zip bundling all four files isn't provided yet — for now, please download the components individually above or clone the GitHub repo directly.
