Probabilistic Embeddings With Evidence Learning and Refinement for Text–Video Retrieval

This paper studies the problem of text-video retrieval, where the goal is to learn accurate cross-modal alignment between videos and text. This problem is challenging because of the matching ambiguity caused by the inherent gap between the heterogeneous video and text modalities. In particular, the differences in the i...

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

Experiments on four text-video retrieval benchmarks show that MARS achieves state-of-the-art results in both direct similarity-based retrieval and reranking settings, and a hard-negative-aware slot specialization objective that encourages the slots to capture discriminative matching cues is introduced.
