Video description is one of the most challenging problems in vision and language understanding due to the large variability both on the video and language side. Models, hence, typically shortcut the difficulty in recognition and generate…
Retrieval-augmented generation can improve audio captioning by incorporating relevant audio-text pairs from a knowledge base. Existing methods typically rely solely on the input audio as a unimodal retrieval query. In contrast, we propose…
Humans are arguably one of the most important subjects in video streams, many real-world applications such as video summarization or video editing workflows often require the automatic search and retrieval of a person of interest. Despite…
Understanding how events evolve over time is essential for search engines handling queries about trending news. We present QDET (Query-Driven Event Timeline Summarization), a production system deployed on Baidu Search that constructs…
Composed video retrieval (CoVR) is a challenging problem in computer vision which has recently highlighted the integration of modification text with visual queries for more sophisticated video search in large databases. Existing works…
A major challenge in text-video and text-audio retrieval is the lack of large-scale training data. This is unlike image-captioning, where datasets are in the order of millions of samples. To close this gap we propose a new video mining…
Videos are more well-organized curated data sources for visual concept learning than images. Unlike the 2-dimensional images which only involve the spatial information, the additional temporal dimension bridges and synchronizes multiple…
This paper studies the task of temporal moment localization in a long untrimmed video using natural language query. Given a query sentence, the goal is to determine the start and end of the relevant segment within the video. Our key…
Increasing amount of research has shed light on machine perception of audio events, most of which concerns detection and classification tasks. However, human-like perception of audio scenes involves not only detecting and classifying audio…
Current datasets for video-based person re-identification (re-ID) do not include structural knowledge in form of human pose annotations for the persons of interest. Nonetheless, pose information is very helpful to disentangle useful feature…
The massive spread of visual content through the web and social media poses both challenges and opportunities. Tracking visually-similar content is an important task for studying and analyzing social phenomena related to the spread of such…
Event detection (ED) identifies and classifies event triggers from unstructured texts, serving as a fundamental task for information extraction. Despite the remarkable progress achieved in the past several years, most research efforts focus…
While the significant advancements have made in the generation of deepfakes using deep learning technologies, its misuse is a well-known issue now. Deepfakes can cause severe security and privacy issues as they can be used to impersonate a…
