• Abstract summary: VALUE benchmark aims to cover a broad range of video genres, video lengths, data volumes, and task difficulty levels. We evaluate various baseline methods with and without large-scale VidL pre-training. The significant gap between our best model and human performance calls for future study for advanced VidL models.

• Abstract: Most existing video-and-language (VidL) research focuses on a single dataset, or multiple datasets of a single task. In reality, a truly useful VidL system is expected to be easily generalizable to diverse tasks, domains, and datasets. To facilitate the evaluation of such systems, we introduce Video-And-Language Understanding Evaluation (VALUE) benchmark, an assemblage of 11 VidL datasets over 3 popular tasks: (i) text-to-video retrieval; (ii) video question answering; and (iii) video captioning. VALUE benchmark aims to cover a broad range of video genres, video lengths, data volumes, and task difficulty levels. Rather than focusing on single-channel videos with visual information only, VALUE promotes models that leverage information from both video frames and their associated subtitles, as well as models that share knowledge across multiple tasks. We evaluate various baseline methods with and without large-scale VidL pre-training, and systematically investigate the impact of video input channels, fusion methods, and different video representations. We also study the transferability between tasks, and conduct multi-task learning under different settings. The significant gap between our best model and human performance calls for future study for advanced VidL models. VALUE is available at https://value-leaderboard.github.io/.

  Large-scale image-text contrastive pre-training models, such as CLIP, have been demonstrated to effectively learn high-quality multimodal representations. We propose a novel video-text pre-training method dubbed VLAB: Video Language pre-training by feature generativearity and Blending. VLAB transfers CLIP representations to video pre-training tasks and develops unified video multimodal models for a wide range of video-text tasks.

  We introduce a new task, Video-and-Language Inference, for joint multimodal understanding of video and text. Given a video clip with subtitles aligned as premise, paired with a natural language hypothesis based on the video content, a model needs to infer whether the hypothesis is entailed or contradicted by the given video clip. A new large-scale dataset, named Violin (VIdeO-and-Language INference), is introduced for this task, which consists of 95,322 video-hypothesis pairs from 15,887 video clips.
