- Abstract: Text-to-video generation task has witnessed a notable progress, with the generated outcomes reflecting the text prompts with high fidelity and impressive visual qualities. However, current text-to-video generation models are invariably focused on conveying the visual elements of a single scene, and have so far been indifferent to another important potential of the medium, namely a storytelling. In this paper, we examine text-to-video generation from a storytelling perspective, which has been hardly investigated, and make empirical remarks that spotlight the limitations of current text-to-video generation scheme. We also propose an evaluation framework for storytelling aspects of videos, and discuss the potential future directions.

We introduce StoryBench: a new, challenging multi-task benchmark to reliably evaluate text-to-video models.
Our benchmark includes three video generation tasks of increasing difficulty: action execution, story continuation, and story generation.
We evaluate small yet strong text-to-video baselines, and show the benefits of training on story-like data algorithmically generated from existing video captions.

We develop a framework comprised of two functional modules, Motion Structure Retrieval and Structure-Guided Text-to-Video Synthesis.
For the first module, we leverage an off-the-shelf video retrieval system and extract video depths as motion structure.
For the second module, we propose a controllable video generation model that offers flexible controls over structure and characters.

CelebV-Text is a large-scale, diverse, and high-quality dataset of facial text-video pairs.
CelebV-Text comprises 70,000 in-the-wild face video clips with diverse visual content, each paired with 20 texts generated using the proposed semi-automatic text generation strategy.
The superiority of CelebV-Text over other datasets is demonstrated via comprehensive statistical analysis of the videos, texts, and text-video relevance.

Instructional Videos [108.77600799637172]
We introduce the novel task of visual narration detection, which entails determining whether a narration is visually depicted by the actions in the video.
We propose What You Say is What You Show (WYS2), a method that leverages multi-modal cues and pseudo-labeling to learn to detect visual narrations with only weakly labeled data.
Our model successfully detects visual narrations in in-the-wild videos, outperforming strong baselines, and we demonstrate its impact for state-of-the-art summarization and temporal alignment of instructional videos.
