Fewer Steps, Better Performance: Efficient Cross-Modal Clip Trimming for Video Moment Retrieval Using Language

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.29793v1 Announce Type: new Given an untrimmed video and a sentence query, video moment retrieval using language (VMR) aims to locate a target query-relevant moment. Since the untrimmed video is overlong, almost all existing VMR methods first sparsely down-sample each untrimmed video into multiple fixed-length video clips and then conduct multi-modal interactions with the query feature and expensive clip features for reasoning, which is infeasible for long real-world videos that span hours.
