# Summary | 摘要

This dataset is collected from the AVQA training subset (train_qa.json). We converted the data to the R1-AQA format, where each line in the text file represents a JSON object with specific keys. 
The AVQA training set originally consists of approximately 40k samples. However, we use only about 38k samples because some data sources have become invalid (e.g. link failure, or less than 10 seconds).


Given that there is no quick link to the audio mentioned in the above two papers, we constructed this dataset to facilitate research on speech-related tasks. Audio tracks were extracted from online videos using ytb-dl and saved in WAV format. Based on this dataset, we successfully reproduced the experiments of the R1-AQA project and successfully reproduced results similar to those reported in the original paper. For original data, please refer to the **URL** in the Acknowledgement.
