Keeping Your Eye on the Ball: Trajectory Attention in Video Transformers

NeurIPS 2021oral

In video transformers, the time dimension is often treated in the same way as the two spatial dimensions. However, in a scene where objects or the camera may move, a physical point imaged at one location in frame $t$ may be entirely unrelated to what is found at that location in frame $t+k$. These t…

Multilingual Multimodal Pre-training for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Transfer of Vision-Language Models

NAACL 2021long

This paper studies zero-shot cross-lingual transfer of vision-language models. Specifically, we focus on multilingual text-to-video search and propose a Transformer-based model that learns contextual multilingual multimodal embeddings. Under a zero-shot setting, we empirically demonstrate that perfo…

On Compositions of Transformations in Contrastive Self-Supervised Learning

ICCV 2021poster

In the image domain, excellent representations can be learned by inducing invariance to content-preserving transformations via noise contrastive learning. In this paper, we generalize contrastive learning to a wider set of transformations, and their compositions, for which either invariance or disti…

Space-Time Crop & Attend: Improving Cross-Modal Video Representation Learning

ICCV 2021poster

The quality of the image representations obtained from self-supervised learning depends strongly on the type of data augmentations used in the learning formulation. Recent papers have ported these methods from still images to videos and found that leveraging both audio and video signals yields stron…

Support-set bottlenecks for video-text representation learning

ICLR 2021spotlight

The dominant paradigm for learning video-text representations – noise contrastive learning – increases the similarity of the representations of pairs of samples that are known to be related, such as text and video from the same sample, and pushes away the representations of all other pairs. We posit…

Labelling unlabelled videos from scratch with multi-modal self-supervision

NeurIPS 2020poster

A large part of the current success of deep learning lies in the effectiveness of data -- more precisely: of labeled data. Yet, labelling a dataset with human annotation continues to carry high costs, especially for videos. While in the image domain, recent methods have allowed to generate meaningfu…
