CRF <-> VMAF training data
Training datasets behind Alice-1 - a LightGBM model that predicts the CRF value needed to hit a target VMAF score for a given video segment, codec and resolution.
Contents
| File | Rows | Description |
|---|---|---|
training_table.parquet |
1,762,232 | Main table. Feature aggregates -> CRF for a target VMAF, per codec/resolution. |
probe_data.parquet |
52,316 | Probe-encode data. Two 2s probe encodes per (segment, codec, resolution) cell with measured VMAF + bitrate. |
Schema: training_table
One row = (video segment * codec * target resolution * target VMAF) -> the CRF that achieves that VMAF.
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
source_key |
string | Source video identifier (dataset/filename) |
dataset |
string | Corpus subset (main, hc, ext, …) |
split |
string | Train/validation/test split |
segment_start |
float | Segment start time (s) |
codec |
string | x264, x265, vp9, av1 |
preset |
string | Encoder preset (mostly veryfast; null for some rows) |
source_width / source_height |
int | Source resolution |
target_width / target_height |
int | Encoded resolution (720/1080/1440/2160) |
fps |
float | Frames per second |
segment_duration |
float | Segment length (s, ~10) |
vmaf_model |
string | VMAF model version |
fit_method |
string | How CRF was extracted from the encode ladder (logistic fit) |
si_mean / si_std |
float | Spatial Information (ITU-T P.910) mean/std over segment |
ti_mean / ti_std |
float | Temporal Information mean/std |
vmafmotion |

crf |
float | Label: CRF achieving target_vmaf |
Schema: probe_data
One row = (segment * codec * resolution) with two cheap probe encodes.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
probe_crf1, probe_vmaf1, probe_bitrate1_kbps |
First probe encode (2s): CRF, measured VMAF, bitrate |
probe_crf2, probe_vmaf2, probe_bitrate2_kbps |
Second probe encode (different CRF) |
probe_sec |
Probe duration (2.0s) |
probe_vmaf |
= probe_vmaf1 (primary probe feature) |
probe_slope |
VMAF slope between the two probe points |
probe_log_br, probe_log_br2 |
log10 of probe bitrates |
