• Title: Event-aware Video Corpus Moment Retrieval
• Authors: Danyang Hou and Liang Pang and Huawei Shen and Xueqi Cheng
• Abstract summary: Video Corpus Moment Retrieval (VCMR) is a practical video retrieval task focused on identifying a specific moment within a vast corpus of untrimmed videos. Existing methods for VCMR typically rely on frame-aware video retrieval, calculating similarities between the query and video frames to rank videos. We propose EventFormer, a model that explicitly utilizes events within videos as fundamental units for video retrieval.

• Abstract: Video Corpus Moment Retrieval (VCMR) is a practical video retrieval task focused on identifying a specific moment within a vast corpus of untrimmed videos using the natural language query. Existing methods for VCMR typically rely on frame-aware video retrieval, calculating similarities between the query and video frames to rank videos based on maximum frame similarity.However, this approach overlooks the semantic structure embedded within the information between frames, namely, the event, a crucial element for human comprehension of videos. Motivated by this, we propose EventFormer, a model that explicitly utilizes events within videos as fundamental units for video retrieval. The model extracts event representations through event reasoning and hierarchical event encoding. The event reasoning module groups consecutive and visually similar frame representations into events, while the hierarchical event encoding encodes information at both the frame and event levels. We also introduce anchor multi-head self-attenion to encourage Transformer to capture the relevance of adjacent content in the video. The training of EventFormer is conducted by two-branch contrastive learning and dual optimization for two sub-tasks of VCMR. Extensive experiments on TVR, ANetCaps, and DiDeMo benchmarks show the effectiveness and efficiency of EventFormer in VCMR, achieving new state-of-the-art results. Additionally, the effectiveness of EventFormer is also validated on partially relevant video retrieval task.

  Video Corpus Moment Retrieval (VCMR) is a new video retrieval task aimed at retrieving a relevant moment from a large corpus of untrimmed videos using a text query. We argue that effectively capturing the partial relevance between the query and video is essential for the VCMR task. For video retrieval, we introduce a multi-modal collaborative video retriever, generating different query representations for the two modalities. For moment localization, we propose the focus-then-fuse moment localizer, utilizing modality-specific gates to capture essential content.

  We propose a novel video-level semantic consistency guidance network for the AVE localization task. It consists of two components: a cross-modal event representation extractor and an intra-modal semantic consistency enhancer. We perform extensive experiments on the public AVE dataset and outperform the state-of-the-art methods in both fully- and weakly-supervised settings.

  Video corpus moment retrieval (VCMR) is to retrieve a temporal moment that semantically corresponds to a given text query. We propose a Retrieval and Localization Network with Contrastive Learning (ReLoCLNet) for VCMR. Experimental results show that ReLoCLNet encodes text and video separately for efficiency, its retrieval accuracy is comparable with baselines adopting cross-modal interaction learning.

  This paper addresses the task of query-focused video summarization, which takes user's query and a long video as inputs. We propose a method, named Convolutional Hierarchical Attention Network (CHAN), which consists of two parts: feature encoding network and query-relevance computing module. In the encoding network, we employ a convolutional network with local self-attention mechanism and query-aware global attention mechanism to learns visual information of each shot.
