Cross-modal learning of video and text plays a key role in Video Question Answering (VideoQA). In this paper, we propose a visual-text attention mechanism to utilize the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) trained on lots of…
Generating informative and knowledge-rich image captions remains a challenge for many existing captioning models, which often produce generic descriptions that lack specificity and contextual depth. To address this limitation, we propose…
This paper proposes a network architecture to perform variable length semantic video generation using captions. We adopt a new perspective towards video generation where we allow the captions to be combined with the long-term and short-term…
Generating detailed and accurate descriptions for specific regions in images and videos remains a fundamental challenge for vision-language models. We introduce the Describe Anything Model (DAM), a model designed for detailed localized…
First-person action recognition is a challenging task in video understanding. Because of strong ego-motion and a limited field of view, many backgrounds or noisy frames in a first-person video can distract an action recognition model during…
Text-to-video retrieval enables users to find relevant video content using natural language queries, a task that has grown increasingly important with the rapid expansion of online video. Over the past six years, research has produced…
Recently, automatic video captioning has attracted increasing attention, where the core challenge lies in capturing the key semantic items, like objects and actions as well as their spatial-temporal correlations from the redundant frames…
Current video summarization methods rely heavily on supervised computer vision techniques, which demands time-consuming and subjective manual annotations. To overcome these limitations, we investigated self-supervised video summarization.…
Dense video captioning (DVC) aims to generate multi-sentence descriptions to elucidate the multiple events in the video, which is challenging and demands visual consistency, discoursal coherence, and linguistic diversity. Existing methods…
Generating video descriptions in natural language (a.k.a. video captioning) is a more challenging task than image captioning as the videos are intrinsically more complicated than images in two aspects. First, videos cover a broader range of…
Current video generation models usually convert signals indicating appearance and motion received from inputs (e.g., image, text) or latent spaces (e.g., noise vectors) into consecutive frames, fulfilling a stochastic generation process for…
In this paper, we address a challenging task, synchronous motion captioning, that aim to generate a language description synchronized with human motion sequences. This task pertains to numerous applications, such as aligned sign language…
With increasing information from social media, there are more and more videos available. Therefore, the ability to reason on a video is important and deserves to be discussed. TheDialog System Technology Challenge (DSTC7) (Yoshino et al.…
Top-down visual attention mechanisms have been used extensively in image captioning and visual question answering (VQA) to enable deeper image understanding through fine-grained analysis and even multiple steps of reasoning. In this work,…
While most conversational AI systems focus on textual dialogue only, conditioning utterances on visual context (when it's available) can lead to more realistic conversations. Unfortunately, a major challenge for incorporating visual context…
In this paper, we propose Dynamic Self-Attention (DSA), a new self-attention mechanism for sentence embedding. We design DSA by modifying dynamic routing in capsule network (Sabouretal.,2017) for natural language processing. DSA attends to…
Automatically generating sentences to describe events and temporally localizing sentences in a video are two important tasks that bridge language and videos. Recent techniques leverage the multimodal nature of videos by using off-the-shelf…
Visual Question and Answering (VQA) problems are attracting increasing interest from multiple research disciplines. Solving VQA problems requires techniques from both computer vision for understanding the visual contents of a presented…
Inspired by the fact that different modalities in videos carry complementary information, we propose a Multimodal Semantic Attention Network(MSAN), which is a new encoder-decoder framework incorporating multimodal semantic attributes for…
Training deep neural networks from scratch on natural language processing (NLP) tasks requires significant amount of manually labeled text corpus and substantial time to converge, which usually cannot be satisfied by the customers. In this…
