Motivation

Study how YouTube videos become viral or, more in general, how they evolve in terms of views, likes and subscriptions is a topic of interest in many disciplines. With this dataset you can study such phenomena, with statistics about 1 million YouTube videos. The information was collected in 2013 when YouTube was exposing the data publicly: they removed this functionality in the years and now it's possible to have such statistics only to the owner of the video. This makes this dataset unique.

Context

This Dataset has been generated with YOUStatAnalyzer, a tool developed by myself (Mattia Zeni) when I was working for CREATE-NET (www.create-net.org) within the framework of the CONGAS FP7 project (http://www.congas-project.eu). For the project we needed to collect and analyse the dynamics of YouTube videos popularity. The dataset contains statistics of more than 1 million Youtube videos, chosen accordingly to random keywords extracted from the WordNet library (http://wordnet.princeton.edu).

The motivation that led us to the development of the YOUStatAnalyser data collection tool and the creation of this dataset is that there's an active research community working on the interplay among user individual preferences, social dynamics, advertising mechanisms and a common problem is the lack of open large-scale datasets. At the same time, no tool was present at that time. Today, YouTube removed the possibility to visualize these data on each video's page, making this dataset unique.

When using our dataset for research purposes, please cite it as:

Over the past few years YouTube has became a popular site for video broadcasting and earning money by publishing various different skills in the form of videos. For some people it has become a main source to earn money. Getting the videos trending among the viewers is one of the major tasks which each and every content creator wants. Popularity of any video and its reach to the audience is completely based on YouTube's Recommendation algorithm.

Associative Tag Recommendation Exploiting Multiple Textual FeaturesFabiano Belem, Eder Martins, Jussara M. Almeida Marcos Goncalves In Proceedings of the 34th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in Information Retrieval, July. 2011AbstractThis work addresses the task of recommending relevant tags to a target object by jointly exploiting three dimen- sions of the problem: (i) term co-occurrence with tags preassigned to the target object, (ii) terms extracted from mul- tiple textual features, and (iii) several metrics of tag relevance. In particular, we propose several new heuristic meth- ods, which extend previous, highly effective and efficient, state-of-the-art strategies by including new metrics that try to capture how accurately a candidate term describes the object’s content. We also exploit two learning to rank techniques, namely RankSVM and Genetic Programming, for the task of generating ranking functions that combine multiple metrics to accurately estimate the relevance of a tag to a given object. We evaluate all proposed methods in various scenarios for three popular Web 2.0 applications, namely, LastFM, YouTube and YahooVideo. We found that our new heuristics greatly outperform the methods on which they are based, producing gains in precision of up to 181%, as well as another state-of-the-art technique, with improvements in precision of up to 40% over the best baseline in any scenario. Some further improvements can also be achieved, in some scenarios, with the new learning-to-rank based strategies, which have the additional advantage of being quite flexible and easily extensible to exploit other aspects of the tag recommendation problem.Bibtex Citation@inproceedings{belem@sigir11, author = {Fabiano Bel\'em and Eder Martins and Jussara Almeida and Marcos Gon\c{c}alves}, title = {Associative Tag Recommendation Exploiting Multiple Textual Features}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 34th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR'11)}}, month = {{July}}, year = {2011} }

Context

YouTube is an American online video-sharing platform headquartered in San Bruno, California. The service, created in February 2005 by three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—was bought by Google in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion and now operates as one of the company's subsidiaries. YouTube is the second most-visited website after Google Search, according to Alexa Internet rankings.

YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to playlists, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users. Available content includes video clips, TV show clips, music videos, short and documentary films, audio recordings, movie trailers, live streams, video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos.

YouTube (the world-famous video sharing website) maintains a list of the top trending videos on the platform. According to Variety magazine, “To determine the year’s top-trending videos, YouTube uses a combination of factors including measuring users interactions (number of views, shares, comments, and likes). Note that they’re not the most-viewed videos overall for the calendar year”. Top performers on the YouTube trending list are music videos (such as the famously virile “Gangam Style”), celebrity and/or reality TV performances, and the random dude-with-a-camera viral videos that YouTube is well-known for.

This dataset is a daily record of the top trending YouTube videos.

Note that this dataset is a structurally improved version of this dataset.
