• Abstract summary: Multimodal video-audio-text understanding and generation can benefit from datasets that are narrow but rich. We present a large-scale video-audio-text dataset MUGEN, collected using the open-sourced platform game CoinRun. We sample 375K video clips (3.2s each) and collect text descriptions from human annotators.

• Abstract: Multimodal video-audio-text understanding and generation can benefit from datasets that are narrow but rich. The narrowness allows bite-sized challenges that the research community can make progress on. The richness ensures we are making progress along the core challenges. To this end, we present a large-scale video-audio-text dataset MUGEN, collected using the open-sourced platform game CoinRun [11]. We made substantial modifications to make the game richer by introducing audio and enabling new interactions. We trained RL agents with different objectives to navigate the game and interact with 13 objects and characters. This allows us to automatically extract a large collection of diverse videos and associated audio. We sample 375K video clips (3.2s each) and collect text descriptions from human annotators. Each video has additional annotations that are extracted automatically from the game engine, such as accurate semantic maps for each frame and templated textual descriptions. Altogether, MUGEN can help progress research in many tasks in multimodal understanding and generation. We benchmark representative approaches on tasks involving video-audio-text retrieval and generation. Our dataset and code are released at: https://mugen-org.github.io/.

  We present MMTrail, a large-scale multi-modality video-language dataset incorporating more than 20M trailer clips with visual captions. We propose a systemic captioning framework, achieving various modality annotations with more than 27.1k hours of trailer videos. Our dataset potentially paves the path for fine-grained large multimodal-language model training.

  We propose a novel video-and-text-to-sound generation method called ReWaS. Our method estimates the structural information of audio from the video while receiving key content cues from a user prompt. By separating the generative components of audio, it becomes a more flexible system that allows users to freely adjust the energy, surrounding environment, and primary sound source according to their preferences.

  We propose a video question answering model which effectively integrates multi-modal input sources and finds the temporally relevant information to answer questions. Our model is also comprised of dual-level attention (word/object and frame level), multi-head self-cross-integration for different sources (video and dense captions), and which pass more relevant information to gates. We evaluate our model on the challenging TVQA dataset, where each of our model components provides significant gains, and our overall model outperforms the state-of-the-art by a large margin.
