• Abstract summary: Existing text-video retrieval solutions focus on maximizing the conditional likelihood, i.e., p(candidates|query) We creatively tackle this task from a generative viewpoint and model the correlation between the text and the video as their joint probability p(candidates,query) This is accomplished through a diffusion-based text-video retrieval framework (DiffusionRet), which models the retrieval task as a process of gradually generating joint distribution from noise.

• Abstract: Existing text-video retrieval solutions are, in essence, discriminant models focused on maximizing the conditional likelihood, i.e., p(candidates|query). While straightforward, this de facto paradigm overlooks the underlying data distribution p(query), which makes it challenging to identify out-of-distribution data. To address this limitation, we creatively tackle this task from a generative viewpoint and model the correlation between the text and the video as their joint probability p(candidates,query). This is accomplished through a diffusion-based text-video retrieval framework (DiffusionRet), which models the retrieval task as a process of gradually generating joint distribution from noise. During training, DiffusionRet is optimized from both the generation and discrimination perspectives, with the generator being optimized by generation loss and the feature extractor trained with contrastive loss. In this way, DiffusionRet cleverly leverages the strengths of both generative and discriminative methods. Extensive experiments on five commonly used text-video retrieval benchmarks, including MSRVTT, LSMDC, MSVD, ActivityNet Captions, and DiDeMo, with superior performances, justify the efficacy of our method. More encouragingly, without any modification, DiffusionRet even performs well in out-domain retrieval settings. We believe this work brings fundamental insights into the related fields.

We demonstrate that without a proposal generator, a generative model alone can achieve comparable performance to existing SOTA weakly-supervised models. This indicates that generative models are also beneficial for this task and can complement discriminative models for better referring segmentation.

• Variational Diffusion Auto-encoder: Latent Space Extraction from Pre-trained Diffusion Models [0.0]
  Variational Auto-Encoders (VAEs) face challenges with the quality of generated images, often presenting noticeable blurriness. This issue stems from the unrealistic assumption that approximates the conditional data distribution, $p(textbfx | textbfz)$, as an isotropic Gaussian. We illustrate how one can extract a latent space from a pre-existing diffusion model by optimizing an encoder to maximize the marginal data log-likelihood.

Experiments on various datasets confirm that our approach, termed as VideoFusion, surpasses both GAN-based and diffusion-based alternatives in high-quality video generation.
