Holmes framework quantifies uncertainty in video retrieval

Researchers have developed Holmes, a new framework for partially relevant video retrieval that explicitly models uncertainty. This hierarchical evidential learning approach aggregates evidence across different granularities to handle the ambiguity between brief text queries and extensive video content. Holmes uses Dirichlet distributions to interpret similarity scores and employs optimal transport for query-clip alignment to improve retrieval accuracy, outperforming existing methods. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel method for handling uncertainty in video retrieval, potentially improving search accuracy for complex, partially described content.

    Revisiting Uncertainty: On Evidential Learning for Partially Relevant Video Retrieval

    Partially relevant video retrieval aims to retrieve untrimmed videos using text queries that describe only partial content. However, the inherent asymmetry between brief queries and rich video content inevitably introduces uncertainty into the retrieval process. In this setting, …
