MovieSum: An Abstractive Summarization Dataset for Movie Screenplays

Dataset Summary

MovieSum consists of 2,200 movie screenplays and their corresponding Wikipedia summaries. It is a long-form summarization task where the mean length of movie screenplays is approximately 34K. We manually formatted the movie screenplays to represent their structural elements. We also provide the IMDB ID for each movie to facilitate the collection of additional metadata.

Dataset Statistics

Total Movie Screenplays 2,200
Mean Screenplay Length 34,275
Mean Summary Length 793

Each movie screenplay is in XML format with the following DOM structure:

<script>
<scene>
<stage_direction>..</stage_direction>
<scene_description>...</scene_description>
<character>..</character>
<dialogue>..</dialogue>
...
</scene>
<scene>
...
</scene>
<script>

Dataset Structure

The dataset is divided into three parts:

  • Training Set: 1800 movie screenplays, summaries, and IMDB ids.
  • Validation Set: 200 movie screenplays, summaries, and IMDB ids.
  • Test Set: 200 movie screenplays, summaries, and IMDB ids.
