New datasets and models advance text-to-long-video retrieval capabilities

Researchers have introduced MELON, a new large-scale dataset designed for multi-event text-to-long-video retrieval, addressing the limitations of existing datasets that primarily focus on short clips with single events. MELON annotates multiple event intervals within long videos, enabling models to better understand complex, multi-event structures. Concurrently, a framework named TAME has been proposed, which enhances text-video retrieval by integrating temporal modeling into CLIP-based architectures. TAME utilizes Mixture-of-Experts layers and Frame-Temporal tokens to capture both local frame details and long-range temporal dependencies, showing improved performance on standard retrieval benchmarks.

    TAME: Temporal-Aware Mixture-of-Experts for Text-Video Retrieval

    Text-Video Retrieval (TVR) retrieves videos that match a natural-language query, but extending image-text models such as CLIP to videos is fundamentally limited by the lack of temporal modeling. Videos exhibit frame-wise heterogeneity in appearance and motion, and compressing all…
