<p>Collection for the dataset began by identifying CreativeCommons subject videos, which are often more scarce thanCreative Commons subject images. Search terms that re-sulted in large quantities of person-centric videos (e.g. “in-terview”) were generated and translated into numerous lan-guages including Arabic, Korean, Swahili, and Hindi to in-crease diversity of the subject pool. Certain YouTube userswho upload well-labeled, person-centric videos, such as the World Economic Forum and the International University Sports Federation were also identified. Titles of videos per-taining to these search terms and usernames were scrapedusing the YouTube Data API and translated into English us-ing the Yandex Translate API4. Pattern matching was per-formed to extract potential names of subjects from the trans-lated titles, and these names were searched using the Wiki-data API to verify the subject’s existence and status as a public figure, and to check for Wikimedia Commons im-agery. Age, gender, and geographic region were collectedusing the Wikipedia API.Using the candidate subject names, Creative Commonsimages were scraped from Google and Wikimedia Com-mons, and Creative Commons videos were scraped fromYouTube. After images and videos of the candidate subjectwere identified, AMT Workers were tasked with validat-ing the subject’s presence throughout the video. The AMTWorkers marked segments of the video in which the subjectwas present, and key frames</p>
