We focus on the task of Automatic Live Video Commenting (ALVC), which aims to generate real-time video comments with both video frames and other viewers comments as inputs. A major challenge in this task is how to properly leverage the rich and diverse information carried by video and text. In this paper, we aim to collect diversified information from video and text for informative comment generation. To achieve this, we propose a Diversified Co-Attention (DCA) model for this task. Our model builds bidirectional interactions between video frames and surrounding comments from multiple perspectives via metric learning, to collect a diversified and informative context for comment generation. We also propose an effective parameter orthogonalization technique to avoid excessive overlap of information learned from different perspectives. Results show that our approach outperforms existing methods in the ALVC task, achieving new state-of-the-art results.

Automatic live commenting aims to provide real-time comments on videos for viewers. It encourages users engagement on online video sites, and is also a good benchmark for video-to-text generation. Recent work on this task adopts encoder-decoder models to generate comments. However, these methods do not model the interaction between videos and comments explicitly, so they tend to generate popular comments that are often irrelevant to the videos. In this work, we aim to improve the relevance between live comments and videos by modeling the cross-modal interactions among different modalities. To this end, we propose a multimodal matching transformer to capture the relationships among comments, vision, and audio. The proposed model is based on the transformer framework and can iteratively learn the attention-aware representations for each modality. We evaluate the model on a publicly available live commenting dataset. Experiments show that the multimodal matching transformer model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.
We propose a new attention model for video question answering. The main idea of the attention models is to locate on the most informative parts of the visual data. The attention mechanisms are quite popular these days. However, most existing visual attention mechanisms regard the question as a whole. They ignore the word-level semantics where each word can have different attentions and some words need no attention. Neither do they consider the semantic structure of the sentences. Although the Extended Soft Attention (E-SA) model for video question answering leverages the word-level attention, it performs poorly on long question sentences. In this paper, we propose the heterogeneous tree-structured memory network (HTreeMN) for video question answering. Our proposed approach is based upon the syntax parse trees of the question sentences. The HTreeMN treats the words differently where the textit{visual} words are processed with an attention module and the textit{verbal} ones not. It also utilizes the semantic structure of the sentences by combining the neighbors based on the recursive structure of the parse trees. The understandings of the words and the videos are propagated and merged from leaves to the root. Furthermore, we build a hierarchical attention mechanism to distill the attended features. We evaluate our approach on two datasets. The experimental results show the superiority of our HTreeMN model over the other attention models especially on complex questions. Our code is available on github. Our code is available at https://github.com/ZJULearning/TreeAttention
We address the problem of visual storytelling, i.e., generating a story for a given sequence of images. While each sentence of the story should describe a corresponding image, a coherent story also needs to be consistent and relate to both future and past images. To achieve this we develop ordered image attention (OIA). OIA models interactions between the sentence-corresponding image and important regions in other images of the sequence. To highlight the important objects, a message-passing-like algorithm collects representations of those objects in an order-aware manner. To generate the storys sentences, we then highlight important image attention vectors with an Image-Sentence Attention (ISA). Further, to alleviate common linguistic mistakes like repetitiveness, we introduce an adaptive prior. The obtained results improve the METEOR score on the VIST dataset by 1%. In addition, an extensive human study verifies coherency improvements and shows that OIA and ISA generated stories are more focused, shareable, and image-grounded.
This paper is on video recognition using Transformers. Very recent attempts in this area have demonstrated promising results in terms of recognition accuracy, yet they have been also shown to induce, in many cases, significant computational overheads due to the additional modelling of the temporal information. In this work, we propose a Video Transformer model the complexity of which scales linearly with the number of frames in the video sequence and hence induces no overhead compared to an image-based Transformer model. To achieve this, our model makes two approximations to the full space-time attention used in Video Transformers: (a) It restricts time attention to a local temporal window and capitalizes on the Transformers depth to obtain full temporal coverage of the video sequence. (b) It uses efficient space-time mixing to attend jointly spatial and temporal locations without inducing any additional cost on top of a spatial-only attention model. We also show how to integrate 2 very lightweight mechanisms for global temporal-only attention which provide additional accuracy improvements at minimal computational cost. We demonstrate that our model produces very high recognition accuracy on the most popular video recognition datasets while at the same time being significantly more efficient than other Video Transformer models. Code will be made available.
The goal of weakly-supervised video moment retrieval is to localize the video segment most relevant to the given natural language query without access to temporal annotations during training. Prior strongly- and weakly-supervised approaches often leverage co-attention mechanisms to learn visual-semantic representations for localization. However, while such approaches tend to focus on identifying relationships between elements of the video and language modalities, there is less emphasis on modeling relational context between video frames given the semantic context of the query. Consequently, the above-mentioned visual-semantic representations, built upon local frame features, do not contain much contextual information. To address this limitation, we propose a Latent Graph Co-Attention Network (LoGAN) that exploits fine-grained frame-by-word interactions to reason about correspondences between all possible pairs of frames, given the semantic context of the query. Comprehensive experiments across two datasets, DiDeMo and Charades-Sta, demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed latent co-attention model where it outperforms current state-of-the-art (SOTA) weakly-supervised approaches by a significant margin. Notably, it even achieves a 11% improvement to Recall@1 accuracy over strongly-supervised SOTA methods on DiDeMo.
