• Abstract summary: We present a new multi-shot video understanding benchmark Shot2Story with detailed shot-level captions, comprehensive video summaries and question-answering pairs. Preliminary experiments show some challenges to generate a long and comprehensive video summary for multi-shot videos. The generated imperfect summaries can already achieve competitive performance on existing video understanding tasks.

• 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 Shot2Story with detailed shot-level captions, comprehensive video summaries and question-answering pairs. 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 captioning, multi-shot video summarization, and multi-shot video question answering. Preliminary experiments show some challenges to generate a long and comprehensive video summary for multi-shot videos. Nevertheless, the generated imperfect summaries can already achieve competitive performance on existing video understanding tasks such as video question-answering, promoting an under-explored setting of video understanding with detailed summaries.

  Long video understanding has become a critical task in computer vision, driving advancements across numerous applications from surveillance to content retrieval. Existing video understanding methods suffer from two challenges when dealing with long video understanding: intricate long-context relationship modeling and interference from redundancy. We introduce Fine-Detailed Video Story generation (FDVS), which interprets long videos into detailed textual representations.

  Current generation models excel at generating short clips but still struggle with creating multi-shot, movie-like videos. We propose VideoGen-of-Thought (VGoT), a collaborative and training-free architecture designed specifically for multi-shot video generation. Our experiments demonstrate that VGoT surpasses existing video generation methods in producing high-quality, coherent, multi-shot videos.

  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.
