• Abstract: Text-video retrieval, a prominent sub-field within the domain of multimodal information retrieval, has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years. However, existing methods assume video scenes are consistent with unbiased descriptions. These limitations fail to align with real-world scenarios since descriptions can be influenced by annotator biases, diverse writing styles, and varying textual perspectives. To overcome the aforementioned problems, we introduce $\texttt{WAVER}$, a cross-domain knowledge distillation framework via vision-language models through open-vocabulary knowledge designed to tackle the challenge of handling different writing styles in video descriptions. $\texttt{WAVER}$ capitalizes on the open-vocabulary properties that lie in pre-trained vision-language models and employs an implicit knowledge distillation approach to transfer text-based knowledge from a teacher model to a vision-based student. Empirical studies conducted across four standard benchmark datasets, encompassing various settings, provide compelling evidence that $\texttt{WAVER}$ can achieve state-of-the-art performance in text-video retrieval task while handling writing-style variations. The code is available at: https://github.com/Fsoft-AIC/WAVER

  We propose a novel Syntax-Hierarchy-Enhanced text-video retrieval method (SHE-Net) First, to facilitate a more fine-grained integration of visual content, we employ the text syntax hierarchy, which reveals the grammatical structure of text descriptions. Second, to further enhance the multi-modal interaction and alignment, we also utilize the syntax hierarchy to guide the similarity calculation.

  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.
