Contrastive vision-language models (VLMs) have made significant progress in binding visual and textual information, yet understanding long, compositional captions remains an open challenge. While these capabilities are often assumed to be…
Multi-channel video-language retrieval require models to understand information from different channels (e.g. video$+$question, video$+$speech) to correctly link a video with a textual response or query. Fortunately, contrastive multimodal…
Joint audio-text models are widely used for music retrieval, yet they struggle with semantic phenomena such as negation. Negation is fundamental for distinguishing the absence (or presence) of musical elements (e.g., "with vocals" vs.…
