# Social Media Prediction Challenge - Video
*Part of SMP Challenge: https://smp-challenge.com*

## Dataset Overview
The SMP-Video dataset supports social media popularity prediction, reflecting real-world challenges in social media analysis. Participants are tasked with predicting the future popularity of anonymized social media video posts.

The dataset comprises the following components:
- **Posts:** Anonymized information regarding the social media posts.
- **Users:** Anonymized user profiles who interact with the posts.
- **Videos:** Anonymized metadata and content-related features of the videos.
- **Labels:** Popularity scores provided as prediction targets.

## Dataset Splits

The dataset is divided into three splits to facilitate model training and evaluation:

- **Train:** Contains the training data with full annotations.
- **Test:** Used for evaluation during the challenge (without labels).
- **Video Source:** Please visit [video-source](https://huggingface.co/datasets/smpchallenge/SMP-Video/resolve/main/SMP-Video_video_source.txt).


## How to Use the Dataset

You can load the dataset using the Hugging Face `datasets` library as follows:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load Train dataset
ds_train_posts = load_dataset("smpchallenge/SMP-Video", 'posts')['train']
ds_train_users = load_dataset("smpchallenge/SMP-Video", 'users')['train']
ds_train_videos = load_dataset("smpchallenge/SMP-Video", 'videos')['train']
ds_train_labels = load_dataset("smpchallenge/SMP-Video", 'labels')['train']

# Load test dataset
ds_test_posts = load_dataset("smpchallenge/SMP-Video", 'posts')['test']
ds_test_users = load_dataset("smpchallenge/SMP-Video", 'users')['test']
ds_test_videos = load_dataset("smpchallenge/SMP-Video", 'videos')['test']

```

## About SMP Challenge
