VEDJE: Video-Efficient Discriminative Joint Encoder for Scalable Video-Text Retrieval

Joint matching improves retrieval, but processing rich video representations for each query is costly.

Key points

  • Finding the right video often requires distinguishing similar scenes in which different events occur.
  • VEDJE compresses features within sampled frames while keeping their representations separate in a reusable cache.
  • Feature-change prediction supplies an auxiliary training signal that improves retrieval from the compressed cache without adding work at query time.
  • On MSR-VTT, MSVD, DiDeMo, and ActivityNet, VEDJE improves R@1 over matched first-stage retrievers in both retrieval directions.
