• Abstract: We introduce a method to learn unsupervised semantic visual information based on the premise that complex events can be decomposed into simpler events and that these simple events are shared across several complex events. We first employ a clustering method to group representations producing a visual codebook. Then, we learn a dense representation by encoding the co-occurrence probability matrix for the codebook entries. This representation leverages the performance of the dense video captioning task in a scenario with only visual features. For example, we replace the audio signal in the BMT method and produce temporal proposals with comparable performance. Furthermore, we concatenate the visual representation with our descriptor in a vanilla transformer method to achieve state-of-the-art performance in the captioning subtask compared to the methods that explore only visual features, as well as a competitive performance with multi-modal methods. Our code is available at https://github.com/valterlej/dvcusi.

  We introduce a multimodal formulation for partially-defined events and cast the extraction of these events as a three-stage span retrieval task. We propose a benchmark for this task, MultiVENT-G, that consists of 14.5 hours of densely annotated current event videos and 1,168 text documents, containing 22.8K labeled event-centric entities. Results illustrate the challenges that abstract event understanding poses and demonstrates promise in event-centric video-language systems.

  We focus on contrastive methods for self-supervised video representation learning. A common paradigm in contrastive learning is to construct positive pairs by sampling different data views for the same instance, with different data instances as negatives. We propose an 'augmentation aware' contrastive learning framework, where we explicitly provide a sequence of augmentation parameterisations. We show that our method encodes valuable information about specified spatial or temporal augmentation, and in doing so also achieve state-of-the-art performance on a number of video benchmarks.
