• Abstract: Traditional video captioning requests a holistic description of the video, yet the detailed descriptions of the specific objects may not be available. Without associating the moving trajectories, these image-based data-driven methods cannot understand the activities from the spatio-temporal transitions in the inter-object visual features. Besides, adopting ambiguous clip-sentence pairs in training, it goes against learning the multi-modal functional mappings owing to the one-to-many nature. In this paper, we propose a novel task to understand the videos in object-level, named object-oriented video captioning. We introduce the video-based object-oriented video captioning network (OVC)-Net via temporal graph and detail enhancement to effectively analyze the activities along time and stably capture the vision-language connections under small-sample condition. The temporal graph provides useful supplement over previous image-based approaches, allowing to reason the activities from the temporal evolution of visual features and the dynamic movement of spatial locations. The detail enhancement helps to capture the discriminative features among different objects, with which the subsequent captioning module can yield more informative and precise descriptions. Thereafter, we construct a new dataset, providing consistent object-sentence pairs, to facilitate effective cross-modal learning. To demonstrate the effectiveness, we conduct experiments on the new dataset and compare it with the state-of-the-art video captioning methods. From the experimental results, the OVC-Net exhibits the ability of precisely describing the concurrent objects, and achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

  The correlation between the vision and text is essential for video moment retrieval (VMR) Existing methods rely on separate pre-training feature extractors for visual and textual understanding. We propose a generic method, referred to as Visual-Dynamic Injection (VDI), to empower the model's understanding of video moments.

  HierVL is a novel hierarchical video-language embedding that simultaneously accounts for both long-term and short-term associations. We introduce a hierarchical contrastive training objective that encourages text-visual alignment at both the clip level and video level. Our hierarchical scheme yields a clip representation that outperforms its single-level counterpart as well as a long-term video representation that achieves SotA.

  We propose an Object-Oriented Non-Autoregressive approach (O2NA) for video captioning. O2NA performs caption generation in three steps: 1) identify the focused objects and predict their locations in the target caption; 2) generate the related attribute words and relation words of these focused objects to form a draft caption; and 3) combine video information to refine the draft caption to a fluent final caption. Experiments on two benchmark datasets, MSR-VTT and MSVD, demonstrate the effectiveness of O2NA.
