Songyang Zhang, Jinsong Su, Jiebo Luo, Exploiting Temporal Relationships in Video Moment Localization with Natural Language, In ACM Multimedia 2019
Moment localization with temporal language aims to locate a segment in a video referred to by temporal language, which describes relationships between multiple events in a video. It requires the model to be capable of localizing a single event and reasoning among multiple events. In the right figure, for example, the description kitten paws at before the bottle is dropped is composed of a main event, kitten paws at the bottle, a context event the bottle is dropped, and their temporal ordering before.
In this work,
- We propose a novel model called Temporal Compositional Modular Network (TCMN) that first learns to softly decompose asentence into three descriptions with respect to the main event, context event and temporal signal, and then guides cross-modal feature matching by measuring the visual similarity and location similarity between each segment and the decomposed descriptions.
- we further form an ensemble model to handle multiple events that may reflect on different visual modalities.
