TREND-10K: A Comprehensive Dataset for Next-Generation Video Quality Assessment Based on Preference-Driven Media

The increasing prominence of short-video platforms, coupled with the advanced commercialization of AI-generated content (AIGC) videos, has led to a shift in the types of video media trend consumed by users in their daily lives. Traditional user-generated content (UGC) is gradually being replaced by professional short dramas and AIGC entertainment. Consequently, VQA for contemporary media content has become increasingly important. This requires a unified evaluation framework that can handle diverse video content and evolving media trends. In this context, we introduce TREND-10K, a next-generation comprehensive VQA dataset consisting of the trend-driven part and the static part, containing 10,000 videos across a wide spectrum of content types. The trend-driven part is based on the TREND-Search framework, which captures user preference profiles from trending lists on online platforms and formulates sampling strategies based on these profiles. The static part, on the other hand, is composed of supplementary samples selected from publicly available datasets. To support unified evaluation for various video types, we incorporate three evaluation dimensions: technical, aesthetic, and AIGC-trace. Experiments show that our dataset ensures high annotation quality and exhibits remarkable generalization across multiple content categories. In conclusion, our work presents a robust framework for advancing VQA, addressing challenges caused by the temporal evolution of user perceptual habits and preferences.
