• Abstract summary: We propose a Multi-scale 2D Representation Learning method for weakly supervised video moment retrieval. Specifically, we first construct a two-dimensional map for each temporal scale to capture the temporal dependencies between candidates. We select top-K candidates from each scale-varied map with a learnable convolutional neural network.

• Abstract: Video moment retrieval aims to search the moment most relevant to a given language query. However, most existing methods in this community often require temporal boundary annotations which are expensive and time-consuming to label. Hence weakly supervised methods have been put forward recently by only using coarse video-level label. Despite effectiveness, these methods usually process moment candidates independently, while ignoring a critical issue that the natural temporal dependencies between candidates in different temporal scales. To cope with this issue, we propose a Multi-scale 2D Representation Learning method for weakly supervised video moment retrieval. Specifically, we first construct a two-dimensional map for each temporal scale to capture the temporal dependencies between candidates. Two dimensions in this map indicate the start and end time points of these candidates. Then, we select top-K candidates from each scale-varied map with a learnable convolutional neural network. With a newly designed Moments Evaluation Module, we obtain the alignment scores of the selected candidates. At last, the similarity between captions and language query is served as supervision for further training the candidates' selector. Experiments on two benchmark datasets Charades-STA and ActivityNet Captions demonstrate that our approach achieves superior performance to state-of-the-art results.

  Composed image retrieval aims to find an image that best matches a given multi-modal user query consisting of a reference image and text pair. Existing methods pre-compute image embeddings over the entire corpus and compare these to a reference image embedding modified by the query text at test time. We propose to combine the merits of both schemes using a two-stage model.

  We propose a self-supervised pretext task, coined as Pseudo Action localization (PAL) to Unsupervisedly Pre-train feature encoders for Temporal Action localization tasks (UP-TAL) Specifically, we first randomly select temporal regions, each of which contains multiple clips, from one video as pseudo actions and then paste them onto different temporal positions of the other two videos. The pretext task is to align the features of pasted pseudo action regions from two synthetic videos and maximize the agreement between them.

  We address the problem of retrieving a specific moment from an untrimmed video by natural language. We model the temporal context between video moments by a set of predefined two-dimensional maps under different temporal scales. Based on the 2D temporal maps, we propose a Multi-Scale Temporal Adjacent Network (MS-2D-TAN), a single-shot framework for moment localization.

  Natural Questions is a new challenging machine reading comprehension benchmark.

We present a novel multi-grained machine reading comprehension framework that focuses on modeling documents at their hierarchical nature.
