New HyVol Module Boosts Multimodal Retrieval Accuracy

Researchers have developed a novel training-time module called Hypergraph-Regularized Gramian Volumes (HyVol) to enhance multimodal retrieval systems. This module incorporates semantic relationships between training samples by using hypergraphs to connect modalities and related candidates. HyVol operates on embeddings rather than final scores, allowing it to be removed after training without altering the backbone architecture or retrieval cost. Experiments on benchmarks like MSR-VTT and VATEX showed significant improvements in retrieval accuracy, particularly for video-to-text tasks. AI

IMPACT This research introduces a method to improve the accuracy of multimodal retrieval systems, potentially leading to better search capabilities for video and audio content.

    Hypergraph-Regularized Gramian Volumes for Multimodal Retrieval

    arXiv:2609.15320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Volume-based multimodal retrieval jointly scores a text query with a candidate's video, audio, and subtitle embeddings. While this approach captures higher-order within-candidate alignment, the score remains candidate-local, and sem…
