YTSeg (CC BY): Commercially-Usable Subset

This is a commercially-usable subset of YTSeg, a benchmark for video transcription segmentation and smart chaptering. It contains only the videos whose original YouTube license is Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY), and is released under CC BY 4.0 so it can be used commercially.

The full YTSeg dataset is released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (non-commercial). We checked the YouTube license of every video in the YTSeg training split via the YouTube Data API v3 (videos.list, part=status) and kept the 1.7% that are CC BY (status.license == "creativeCommon"). Only the training split is included.

For full documentation, please see the parent dataset at retkowski/ytseg. This card only describes what differs.
