MARS framework improves text-video retrieval using multimodal LLMs

Researchers have developed MARS, a novel framework designed to enhance text-video retrieval by leveraging multiple layers and adaptive representation slots from multimodal large language models. Unlike existing methods that often compress diverse cues into a single vector, MARS constructs multiple slots by combining hidden states from different decoder layers. This approach allows for a more nuanced comparison of text and video elements, with experiments demonstrating state-of-the-art results on several benchmarks. The framework further incorporates a hard-negative-aware slot specialization objective to improve the capture of discriminative matching cues, leading to significant gains in both direct similarity-based retrieval and reranking.

    MARS: What Retrieval Signals Are Hidden in Multimodal Large Language Models for Text-Video Retrieval?

    arXiv:2609.02565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-video retrieval requires representations that can distinguish videos with similar scenes, actions, and temporal patterns. Recent multimodal large language models have been adapted as embedding models, but they often represent e…
