From video streaming to security and surveillance applications, video data play an important role in our daily living today. However, managing a large amount of video data and retrieving the most useful information for the user remain a…
We present a simple yet effective end-to-end Video-language Pre-training (VidLP) framework, Masked Contrastive Video-language Pretraining (MAC), for video-text retrieval tasks. Our MAC aims to reduce video representation's spatial and…
Existing research in scene image classification has focused on either content features (e.g., visual information) or context features (e.g., annotations). As they capture different information about images which can be complementary and…
This paper addresses the challenging task of weakly-supervised video temporal grounding. Existing approaches are generally based on the moment proposal selection framework that utilizes contrastive learning and reconstruction paradigm for…
As an increasingly popular task in multimedia information retrieval, video moment retrieval (VMR) aims to localize the target moment from an untrimmed video according to a given language query. Most previous methods depend heavily on…
Prior works on text-based video moment localization focus on temporally grounding the textual query in an untrimmed video. These works assume that the relevant video is already known and attempt to localize the moment on that relevant video…
Massive-scale pretraining has made vision-language models increasingly popular for image-to-image and text-to-image retrieval across a broad collection of domains. However, these models do not perform well when used for challenging…
Visual-semantic embedding aims to learn a joint embedding space where related video and sentence instances are located close to each other. Most existing methods put instances in a single embedding space. However, they struggle to embed…
CLIP retrieval is typically framed as a pointwise similarity problem in a shared embedding space. While CLIP achieves strong global cross-modal alignment, many retrieval failures arise from local geometric inconsistencies: nearby items are…
The current research focus on Content-Based Video Retrieval requires higher-level video representation describing the long-range semantic dependencies of relevant incidents, events, etc. However, existing methods commonly process the frames…
Video moment localization aims to retrieve the target segment of an untrimmed video according to the natural language query. Weakly supervised methods gains attention recently, as the precise temporal location of the target segment is not…
Attention-based motion aggregation concepts have recently shown their usefulness in optical flow estimation, in particular when it comes to handling occluded regions. However, due to their complexity, such concepts have been mainly…
Text-video retrieval aims to find the most semantically similar videos with given text queries. However, since videos contain more diverse content than texts, the main semantics expressed by each text-video pair is often partially relevant.…
Video restoration (VR) aims to recover high-quality videos from degraded ones. Although recent zero-shot VR methods using pre-trained diffusion models (DMs) show good promise, they suffer from approximation errors during reverse diffusion…
Video segmentation is a popular task, but applying image segmentation models frame-by-frame to videos does not preserve temporal consistency. In this paper, we propose a method to extend a query-based image segmentation model to video using…
Low-overhead visual place recognition (VPR) is a highly active research topic. Mobile robotics applications often operate under low-end hardware, and even more hardware capable systems can still benefit from freeing up onboard system…
It has recently been discovered that using a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM), e.g., CLIP, to align a whole query image with several finer text descriptions generated by a large language model can significantly enhance zero-shot…
In this paper, we propose an efficient and high-performance method for partially relevant video retrieval, which aims to retrieve long videos that contain at least one moment relevant to the input text query. The challenge lies in encoding…
Sparsity of user-to-item rating data becomes one of challenging issues in the recommender systems, which severely deteriorates the recommendation performance. Fortunately, context-aware recommender systems can alleviate the sparsity problem…
Feature alignment serves as the primary mechanism for fusing multimodal data. We put forth a feature alignment approach that achieves full integration of multimodal information. This is accomplished via an alternating process of shifting…
