• Abstract: Given a text query, partially relevant video retrieval (PRVR) aims to retrieve untrimmed videos containing relevant moments. Due to the lack of moment annotations, the uncertainty lying in clip modeling and text-clip correspondence leads to major challenges. Despite the great progress, existing solutions either sacrifice efficiency or efficacy to capture varying and uncertain video moments. What's worse, few methods have paid attention to the text-clip matching pattern under such uncertainty, exposing the risk of semantic collapse. To address these issues, we present GMMFormer v2, an uncertainty-aware framework for PRVR. For clip modeling, we improve a strong baseline GMMFormer with a novel temporal consolidation module upon multi-scale contextual features, which maintains efficiency and improves the perception for varying moments. To achieve uncertainty-aware text-clip matching, we upgrade the query diverse loss in GMMFormer to facilitate fine-grained uniformity and propose a novel optimal matching loss for fine-grained text-clip alignment. Their collaboration alleviates the semantic collapse phenomenon and neatly promotes accurate correspondence between texts and moments. We conduct extensive experiments and ablation studies on three PRVR benchmarks, demonstrating remarkable improvement of GMMFormer v2 compared to the past SOTA competitor and the versatility of uncertainty-aware text-clip matching for PRVR.

  Existing Video Corpus Moment Retrieval (VCMR) is limited to coarse-grained understanding. We propose a more challenging fine-grained VCMR benchmark requiring methods to localize the best-matched moment from the corpus. With VERIFIED, we construct a more challenging fine-grained VCMR benchmark containing Charades-FIG, DiDeMo-FIG, and ActivityNet-FIG.

  Video Moment Retrieval (VMR) requires precise modelling of fine-grained moment-text associations to capture intricate visual-language relationships. Existing methods resort to joint training on both source and target domain videos for cross-domain applications. We explore generative video diffusion for fine-grained editing of source videos controlled by the target sentences.

  Given a text query, partially relevant video retrieval (PRVR) seeks to find videos containing pertinent moments in a database. This paper proposes GMMFormer, a Gaussian-Mixture-Model based Transformer which models clip representations implicitly.

Our motivation comes from that the temporal boundary of the query-guided activity should be consistently predicted. In particular, we devise a self-supervised consistency loss module to enhance the completeness and smoothness of the augmented video.

  Video moment retrieval targets at retrieving a moment in a video for a given language query. The challenges of this task include 1) the requirement of localizing the relevant moment in an untrimmed video, and 2) bridging the semantic gap between textual query and video contents. We propose an Attentive Cross-modal Relevance Matching model which predicts the temporal boundaries based on an interaction modeling.
