• Abstract: To generate proper captions for videos, the inference needs to identify relevant concepts and pay attention to the spatial relationships between them as well as to the temporal development in the clip. Our end-to-end encoder-decoder video captioning framework incorporates two transformer-based architectures, an adapted transformer for a single joint spatio-temporal video analysis as well as a self-attention-based decoder for advanced text generation. Furthermore, we introduce an adaptive frame selection scheme to reduce the number of required incoming frames while maintaining the relevant content when training both transformers. Additionally, we estimate semantic concepts relevant for video captioning by aggregating all ground truth captions of each sample. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art results on the MSVD, as well as on the large-scale MSR-VTT and the VATEX benchmark datasets considering multiple Natural Language Generation (NLG) metrics. Additional evaluations on diversity scores highlight the expressiveness and diversity in the structure of our generated captions.

  We argue that generated videos should incorporate the emergence of new concepts and their relation transitions like in real-world videos as time progresses. To assess the Temporal Compositionality of video generation models, we propose TC-Bench, a benchmark of meticulously crafted text prompts, corresponding ground truth videos, and robust evaluation metrics.

  We formulate diverse captioning into a semantic-concept-guided set prediction problem. We apply a diversity regularization term on concepts to encourage the model to generate semantically diverse captions. The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance under both relevance and diversity metrics.

  The correlation between the vision and text is essential for video moment retrieval (VMR) Existing methods rely on separate pre-training feature extractors for visual and textual understanding. We propose a generic method, referred to as Visual-Dynamic Injection (VDI), to empower the model's understanding of video moments.

  We first design a two-stream encoder to extract CNN-based visual features and transformer-based linguistic features hierarchically. A vision-language mutual guidance (VLMG) module is inserted into the encoder multiple times to promote the hierarchical and progressive fusion of multi-modal features. In order to promote the temporal alignment between frames, we propose a language-guided multi-scale dynamic filtering (LMDF) module.

  Existing methods mainly generate captions from individual video segments, lacking adaptation to the global visual context. We introduce the concept of information flow to model the progressive information changing across video sequence and captions. Our method significantly outperforms competitive baselines, and generates more human-like text according to subject and objective tests.

• Visual-aware Attention Dual-stream Decoder for Video Captioning [12.139806877591212]
  The attention mechanism in the current video captioning method learns to assign weight to each frame, promoting the decoder dynamically. This may not explicitly model the correlation and the temporal coherence of the visual features extracted in the sequence frames. We propose a new Visual-aware Attention (VA) model, which unifies changes of temporal sequence frames with the words at the previous moment. The effectiveness of the proposed Visual-aware Attention Dual-stream Decoder (VADD) is demonstrated.

The second is intra-domain TCR that guides unconfident predictions of target frames to have similar temporal consistency as confident predictions of target frames.
