• Authors: Nina Shvetsova, Anna Kukleva, Bernt Schiele, Hilde Kuehne
• Abstract summary: We propose a new setting, text-video retrieval with uncurated & unpaired data, that during training utilizes only text queries together with uncurated web videos. To improve generalization, we show that one model can be trained with multiple text styles. We evaluate our model on retrieval performance over multiple datasets to demonstrate the advantages of our style transfer framework.

• Abstract: Large-scale noisy web image-text datasets have been proven to be efficient for learning robust vision-language models. However, when transferring them to the task of video retrieval, models still need to be fine-tuned on hand-curated paired text-video data to adapt to the diverse styles of video descriptions. To address this problem without the need for hand-annotated pairs, we propose a new setting, text-video retrieval with uncurated & unpaired data, that during training utilizes only text queries together with uncurated web videos without any paired text-video data. To this end, we propose an approach, In-Style, that learns the style of the text queries and transfers it to uncurated web videos. Moreover, to improve generalization, we show that one model can be trained with multiple text styles. To this end, we introduce a multi-style contrastive training procedure that improves the generalizability over several datasets simultaneously. We evaluate our model on retrieval performance over multiple datasets to demonstrate the advantages of our style transfer framework on the new task of uncurated & unpaired text-video retrieval and improve state-of-the-art performance on zero-shot text-video retrieval.

  A more robust and holistic language-video representation is the key to pushing video understanding forward. The current plain and simple text descriptions and the visual-only focus for the language-video tasks result in a limited capacity in real-world natural language video retrieval tasks. This paper introduces a method to automatically enhance video-language datasets, making them more modality and context-aware.

  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.

There is not a clear way to quickly adapt these two lines to multi-channel video-language retrieval with limited data and resources.
