• Abstract: We present a Multi-Modal Recipe for Advancing Adaptation-based Pre-training towards effective and efficient zero-shot video-text retrieval, dubbed M2-RAAP. Upon popular image-text models like CLIP, most current adaptation-based video-text pre-training methods are confronted by three major issues, i.e., noisy data corpus, time-consuming pre-training, and limited performance gain. Towards this end, we conduct a comprehensive study including four critical steps in video-text pre-training. Specifically, we investigate 1) data filtering and refinement, 2) video input type selection, 3) temporal modeling, and 4) video feature enhancement. We then summarize this empirical study into the M2-RAAP recipe, where our technical contributions lie in 1) the data filtering and text re-writing pipeline resulting in 1M high-quality bilingual video-text pairs, 2) the replacement of video inputs with key-frames to accelerate pre-training, and 3) the Auxiliary-Caption-Guided (ACG) strategy to enhance video features. We conduct extensive experiments by adapting three image-text foundation models on two refined video-text datasets from different languages, validating the robustness and reproducibility of M2-RAAP for adaptation-based pre-training. Results demonstrate that M2-RAAP yields superior performance with significantly reduced data (-90%) and time consumption (-95%), establishing a new SOTA on four English zero-shot retrieval datasets and two Chinese ones. We are preparing our refined bilingual data annotations and codebase, which will be available at https://github.com/alipay/Ant-Multi-Modal-Framework/tree/main/prj/M2_RAAP.

  We bridge video and text using three key models: a general video understanding model XCLIP, a general image understanding model CLIP, and a text generation model GPT-2. To address this problem, we propose using learnable tokens as a communication medium between frozen GPT-2 and frozen XCLIP. Experiments show 4% to 20% improvements in terms of the main metric CIDEr compared to the existing state-of-the-art methods.

  We propose a simple yet effective Retrieving-to-Answer (R2A) framework for VideoQA. R2A first retrieves a set of semantically similar texts from a generic text corpus using a pre-trained multi-modal model. With both the question and the retrieved texts, a LLM can be directly used to yield a desired answer.

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