Long-form TV dramas present a formidable challenge for comprehensive video understanding, where deciphering complex storyline often relies on **speaker recognition**, the task of accurately attributing each spoken utterance to its respective character. In this paper, we advance this field through tw…
Pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP achieve strong zero-shot generalization, but their performance degrades sharply under adversarial perturbations. Existing test-time adaptation methods typically rely on sample-level confidence heuristics, overlooking the intrinsic distributional…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown remarkable progress in temporal or spatial localization tasks, but struggle with joint spatio-temporal video grounding (STVG). We identify two key bottlenecks hindering this capability: (1) the sheer number of visual tokens makes long-range and fin
In recent years, Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation (OVSS) has been largely advanced. However, existing methods mostly rely on a pre-trained vision-language model (e.g., CLIP) and require a predefined set of classes to guide the semantic segmentation process during the inference. This not only na…
Video Moment Retrieval (VMR) aims to retrieve temporal segments in untrimmed videos corresponding to a given language query by constructing cross-modal alignment strategies. However, these existing strategies are often sub-optimal since they ignore the modality imbalance problem, i.e., the semantic…
The performance of text-video retrieval has been significantly improved by vision-language cross-modal learning schemes. The typical solution is to directly align the global video-level and sentence-level features during learning, which would ignore the intrinsic video-text relations, i.e., a text…
"Unsupervised video hashing usually optimizes binary codes by learning to reconstruct input videos. Such reconstruction constraint spends much effort on frame-level temporal context changes without focusing on video-level global semantics that are more useful for retrieval. Hence, we address this pr…
Generalized zero-shot Learning (GZSL) aims to recognize images from either seen or unseen domain, mainly by learning a joint embedding space to associate image features with the corresponding category descriptions. Recent methods have proved that localizing important object regions can effectively b…
