Dataset Card for Screen2Words

Screen2Words is a dataset providing screen summaries (i.e., image captions for mobile screens). It uses the RICO image database.

Dataset Details

Dataset Sources

Repository:
- google-research-datasets/screen2words
- RICO raw downloads
Paper:
- Screen2Words: Automatic Mobile UI Summarization with Multimodal Learning
- Rico: A Mobile App Dataset for Building Data-Driven Design Applications

Uses

This dataset is for developing multimodal automations for mobile screens.

Direct Use

Automatic screen summarization & description
Language-Based UI retreival (given a UI, retreive similar interfaces)
Enhancing screen readers
Screen indexing
Conversational mobile applications

Dataset Structure

screenId: Unique RICO screen ID
image: RICO screenshot
image_icon: Google Play Store icon for the app
image_semantic: Semantic RICO screenshot; details are abstracted away to main visual UI elements
file_name: Image local filename
file_name_icon: Icon image local filename
file_name_semantic: Screenshot Image as a semantic annotated image local filename
captions: A list of string captions
app_package_name: Android package name
play_store_name: Google Play Store name
category: Type of category of the app
number_of_downloads: Number of downloads of the app (as a coarse range string)
number_of_ratings: Number of ratings of the app on the Google Play store (as of collection)
average_rating: Average rating of the app on the Google Play Store (as of collection)
semantic_annotations: Reduced view hierarchy, to the semantically-relevant portions of the full view hierarchy. It corresponds to what is visualized in image_semantic and has a lot of details about what's on screen. It is stored as a JSON object string.
view_hierarchy: Full view-hierarchy

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

RICO rationale: Create a broad dataset that can be used for UI automation. An explicit goal was to develop automation software that can validate an app's design and assess whether it achieves its stated goal.
Screen2Words rationale: Create a dataset that facilities the distillation of screenshots into concise summaries

Source Data

RICO: Mobile app screenshots, collected on Android devices.
Screen2Words: Human annotated screen summaries from paid contractors.

Data Collection and Processing

RICO: Human and automated collection of Android screens. ~9.8k free apps from the Google Play Store.
Screen2Words: Takes the subset of screens used in RICO-SCA, which eliminates screens with missing or inaccurate view hierarchies.

Who are the source data producers?

RICO: 13 human workers (10 from the US, 3 from the Philippines) through UpWork.
Screen2Words: 85 professional annotators
