In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have made rapid progress in information retrieval, yet existing research has mainly focused on text or static multimodal settings. Open-domain video shot retrieval, which involves richer…
In this report, we introduce a video hashing method for scalable video segment copy detection. The objective of video segment copy detection is to find the video (s) present in a large database, one of whose segments (cropped in time) is a…
The task of referring video object segmentation aims to segment the object in the frames of a given video to which the referring expressions refer. Previous methods adopt multi-stage approach and design complex pipelines to obtain promising…
Prior work presented the sentence tracker, a method for scoring how well a sentence describes a video clip or alternatively how well a video clip depicts a sentence. We present an improved method for optimizing the same cost function…
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…
Long video understanding remains challenging for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) due to limited context windows, which necessitate identifying sparse query-relevant video segments. However, existing methods predominantly localize…
Video understanding in multimodal large language models requires selecting informative frames from long, redundant videos under limited visual-token budgets. Existing methods often rely on uniform sampling, point-wise relevance scoring,…
Current multimodal large language models (MLLMs) struggle with hour-level video understanding, facing significant challenges not only in modeling the substantial information volume of long videos but also in overcoming the memory wall and…
Video Instance Segmentation (VIS) is a new and inherently multi-task problem, which aims to detect, segment, and track each instance in a video sequence. Existing approaches are mainly based on single-frame features or single-scale features…
Partially Relevant Video Retrieval (PRVR) aims to retrieve untrimmed videos based on text queries that describe only partial events. Existing methods suffer from incomplete global contextual perception, struggling with query ambiguity and…
