• Abstract: A short clip of video may contain progression of multiple events and an interesting story line. A human need to capture both the event in every shot and associate them together to understand the story behind it. In this work, we present a new multi-shot video understanding benchmark Shot2Story20K with detailed shot-level captions and comprehensive video summaries. To facilitate better semantic understanding of videos, we provide captions for both visual signals and human narrations. We design several distinct tasks including single-shot video and narration captioning, multi-shot video summarization, and video retrieval with shot descriptions. Preliminary experiments show some challenges to generate a long and comprehensive video summary. Nevertheless, the generated imperfect summaries can already significantly boost the performance of existing video understanding tasks such as video question-answering, promoting an under-explored setting of video understanding with detailed summaries.

  Fine-grained video action recognition can be conceptualized as a video-text matching problem. We propose a multi-granularity framework based on two observations: (i) videos with different global semantics may share similar atomic actions or appearances, and (ii) atomic actions within a video can be momentary, slow, or even non-directly related to the global video semantics.

  HierVL is a novel hierarchical video-language embedding that simultaneously accounts for both long-term and short-term associations. We introduce a hierarchical contrastive training objective that encourages text-visual alignment at both the clip level and video level. Our hierarchical scheme yields a clip representation that outperforms its single-level counterpart as well as a long-term video representation that achieves SotA.

  We focus on summarizing instructional videos, an under-explored area of video summarization. Existing video summarization datasets rely on manual frame-level annotations. We propose an instructional video summarization network that combines a context-aware temporal video encoder and a segment scoring transformer.

We show that our AMM approach consistently improves our results and that models trained on our Spoken Moments dataset generalize better than those trained on other video-caption datasets.
