• Title: Leveraging the Video-level Semantic Consistency of Event for Audio-visual Event Localization
• Authors: Yuanyuan Jiang, Jianqin Yin, Yonghao Dang
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel video-level semantic consistency guidance network for the AVE localization task. It consists of two components: a cross-modal event representation extractor and an intra-modal semantic consistency enhancer. We perform extensive experiments on the public AVE dataset and outperform the state-of-the-art methods in both fully- and weakly-supervised settings.

• Abstract: Audio-visual event (AVE) localization has attracted much attention in recent years. Most existing methods are often limited to independently encoding and classifying each video segment separated from the full video (which can be regarded as the segment-level representations of events). However, they ignore the semantic consistency of the event within the same full video (which can be considered as the video-level representations of events). In contrast to existing methods, we propose a novel video-level semantic consistency guidance network for the AVE localization task. Specifically, we propose an event semantic consistency modeling (ESCM) module to explore video-level semantic information for semantic consistency modeling. It consists of two components: a cross-modal event representation extractor (CERE) and an intra-modal semantic consistency enhancer (ISCE). CERE is proposed to obtain the event semantic information at the video level. Furthermore, ISCE takes video-level event semantics as prior knowledge to guide the model to focus on the semantic continuity of an event within each modality. Moreover, we propose a new negative pair filter loss to encourage the network to filter out the irrelevant segment pairs and a new smooth loss to further increase the gap between different categories of events in the weakly-supervised setting. We perform extensive experiments on the public AVE dataset and outperform the state-of-the-art methods in both fully- and weakly-supervised settings, thus verifying the effectiveness of our method.The code is available at https://github.com/Bravo5542/VSCG.

  We propose a Two-Stage Prefix-Enhanced MLLM (TSPE) approach for event attribution in movie videos. In the local stage, we introduce an interaction-aware prefix that guides the model to focus on the relevant multimodal information within a single clip. In the global stage, we strengthen the connections between associated events using an inferential knowledge graph.

  We introduce CACE-Net, which differs from most existing methods that solely use audio signals to guide visual information. We propose an audio-visual co-guidance attention mechanism that allows for adaptive bi-directional cross-modal attentional guidance. Experiments on the AVE dataset demonstrate that CACE-Net sets a new benchmark in the audio-visual event localization task.

  Video Corpus Moment Retrieval (VCMR) is a practical video retrieval task focused on identifying a specific moment within a vast corpus of untrimmed videos. Existing methods for VCMR typically rely on frame-aware video retrieval, calculating similarities between the query and video frames to rank videos. We propose EventFormer, a model that explicitly utilizes events within videos as fundamental units for video retrieval.

  We propose a vision-language learning framework for untrimmed videos, which automatically detects informative events. Instead of coarse-level video-language alignments, we present two dual pretext tasks to encourage fine-grained segment-level alignments. Our framework is easily to tasks covering visually-grounded language understanding and generation.
