• Authors: Yoad Tewel, Yoav Shalev, Roy Nadler, Idan Schwartz, Lior Wolf
• Abstract summary: We introduce a zero-shot video captioning method that employs two frozen networks: the GPT-2 language model and the CLIP image-text matching model. The matching score is used to steer the language model toward generating a sentence that has a high average matching score to a subset of the video frames. Our experiments show that the generated captions are coherent and display a broad range of real-world knowledge.

• Abstract: We introduce a zero-shot video captioning method that employs two frozen networks: the GPT-2 language model and the CLIP image-text matching model. The matching score is used to steer the language model toward generating a sentence that has a high average matching score to a subset of the video frames. Unlike zero-shot image captioning methods, our work considers the entire sentence at once. This is achieved by optimizing, during the generation process, part of the prompt from scratch, by modifying the representation of all other tokens in the prompt, and by repeating the process iteratively, gradually improving the specificity and comprehensiveness of the generated sentence. Our experiments show that the generated captions are coherent and display a broad range of real-world knowledge. Our code is available at: https://github.com/YoadTew/zero-shot-video-to-text

  We propose a novel zero-shot video captioning framework named Retrieval-Enhanced Test-Time Adaptation (RETTA) We bridge video and text using four key models: a general video-text retrieval model XCLIP, a general image-text matching model CLIP, a text alignment model AnglE, and a text generation model GPT-2. To address this problem, we propose using learnable tokens as a communication medium among these four frozen models GPT-2, XCLIP, CLIP, and AnglE.

• Fine-grained Image Captioning with CLIP Reward [104.71533106301598]
  We propose using CLIP, a multimodal encoder trained on huge image-text pairs from web, to calculate multimodal similarity and use it as a reward function. We also propose a simple finetuning strategy of the CLIP text encoder to improve grammar that does not require extra text annotation. In experiments on text-to-image retrieval and FineCapEval, the proposed CLIP-guided model generates more distinctive captions than the CIDEr-optimized model.

  Recent text-to-image matching models apply contrastive learning to large corpora of uncurated pairs of images and sentences. In this work, we repurpose such models to generate a descriptive text given an image at inference time. The resulting captions are much less restrictive than those obtained by supervised captioning methods.
