• Authors: Mihai Masala, Marius Leordeanu,
• Abstract summary: Transformers have become the de facto approach across a variety of domains, such as computer vision and natural language processing. We propose a common ground between vision and language based on events in space and time in an explainable and programmatic way. We validate that our algorithmic approach is able to generate coherent, rich and relevant textual descriptions on videos collected from a variety of datasets.

• Abstract: In the current era of Machine Learning, Transformers have become the de facto approach across a variety of domains, such as computer vision and natural language processing. Transformer-based solutions are the backbone of current state-of-the-art methods for language generation, image and video classification, segmentation, action and object recognition, among many others. Interestingly enough, while these state-of-the-art methods produce impressive results in their respective domains, the problem of understanding the relationship between vision and language is still beyond our reach. In this work, we propose a common ground between vision and language based on events in space and time in an explainable and programmatic way, to connect learning-based vision and language state of the art models and provide a solution to the long standing problem of describing videos in natural language. We validate that our algorithmic approach is able to generate coherent, rich and relevant textual descriptions on videos collected from a variety of datasets, using both standard metrics (e.g. Bleu, ROUGE) and the modern LLM-as-a-Jury approach.

  A more robust and holistic language-video representation is the key to pushing video understanding forward. The current plain and simple text descriptions and the visual-only focus for the language-video tasks result in a limited capacity in real-world natural language video retrieval tasks. This paper introduces a method to automatically enhance video-language datasets, making them more modality and context-aware.

  Embodied control requires agents to leverage multi-modal pre-training to quickly learn how to act in new environments. We propose Emergent Communication for Embodied Control (EC2), a novel scheme to pre-train video-language representations for few-shot embodied control. EC2 is shown to consistently outperform previous contrastive learning methods for both videos and texts as task inputs.
