Video-text retrieval has witnessed remarkable progress driven by large-scale vision-language pretraining, yet most existing approaches inherit an implicit assumption from image-text retrieval: that visual semantics can be captured…
In a retrieval system, simultaneously achieving search accuracy and efficiency is inherently challenging. This challenge is particularly pronounced in partially relevant video retrieval (PRVR), where incorporating more diverse context…
Modern video summarization methods are based on deep neural networks that require a large amount of annotated data for training. However, existing datasets for video summarization are small-scale, easily leading to over-fitting of the deep…

To address the problem of catastrophic forgetting due to the invisibility of old categories in sequential input, existing work based on relatively simple categorization tasks has made some progress. In contrast, video captioning is a more…
Weakly-supervised audio-visual video parsing (AVVP) seeks to detect audible, visible, and audio-visual events without temporal annotations. Previous work has emphasized refining global predictions through contrastive or collaborative…
Event-based image retrieval from free-form captions presents a significant challenge: models must understand not only visual features but also latent event semantics, context, and real-world knowledge. Conventional vision-language retrieval…
Ultra long video understanding remains an open challenge, as existing vision language models (VLMs) falter on such content due to limited context length and inefficient long term memory retention. To address this, recent works have…
We address the problem of language-based temporal localization of moments in untrimmed videos. Compared to temporal localization with fixed categories, this problem is more challenging as the language-based queries have no predefined…
Most approaches to cross-modal retrieval (CMR) focus either on object-centric datasets, meaning that each document depicts or describes a single object, or on scene-centric datasets, meaning that each image depicts or describes a complex…
In this work, we investigate the degradation of existing VMR methods, particularly of DETR architectures, when trained on caption-based queries but evaluated on search queries. For this, we introduce three benchmarks by modifying the…
