ReLER@ZJU-Alibaba Submission to the Ego4D Natural Language Queries Challenge 2022
This addresses video understanding for AI systems, but it is incremental as it builds on existing cross-modal methods for a specific challenge.
The paper tackled the problem of locating temporal moments in videos based on natural language queries in the Ego4D NLQ Challenge, achieving first place on the leaderboard.
In this report, we present the ReLER@ZJU-Alibaba submission to the Ego4D Natural Language Queries (NLQ) Challenge in CVPR 2022. Given a video clip and a text query, the goal of this challenge is to locate a temporal moment of the video clip where the answer to the query can be obtained. To tackle this task, we propose a multi-scale cross-modal transformer and a video frame-level contrastive loss to fully uncover the correlation between language queries and video clips. Besides, we propose two data augmentation strategies to increase the diversity of training samples. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. The final submission ranked first on the leaderboard.
