• Abstract summary: UnLoc is a new approach for temporal localization in untrimmed videos. It uses pretrained image and text towers, and feeds tokens to a video-text fusion model. We achieve state of the art results on all three different localization tasks with a unified approach.

• Abstract: While large-scale image-text pretrained models such as CLIP have been used for multiple video-level tasks on trimmed videos, their use for temporal localization in untrimmed videos is still a relatively unexplored task. We design a new approach for this called UnLoc, which uses pretrained image and text towers, and feeds tokens to a video-text fusion model. The output of the fusion module are then used to construct a feature pyramid in which each level connects to a head to predict a per-frame relevancy score and start/end time displacements. Unlike previous works, our architecture enables Moment Retrieval, Temporal Localization, and Action Segmentation with a single stage model, without the need for action proposals, motion based pretrained features or representation masking. Unlike specialized models, we achieve state of the art results on all three different localization tasks with a unified approach.

  This work introduces a novel text-video localization pre-text task to enable fine-grained temporal and semantic alignment. Specifically, text-video localization consists of moment retrieval, which predicts start and end boundaries in videos given the text description. Our method connects the fine-grained frame representations with the word representations and implicitly distinguishes representations of different instances in the single modality.
