[Today on ArXiv]: our ACCV 2022 Oral *ConTra* Learning-to-attend to local temporal context for disambiguating cross-modal retrieval. E.g. retrieving “divide the dough in 2” benefits from attending to clips w/ dough stretched. ArXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2210.04341 adrianofragomeni.github.io/ConTra-Context…

ConTra focuses on untrimmed videos with large # of clips/video - where video-paragraph approaches are unhelpful. SOTA clip retrieval. Work by Adriano Fragomeni w Michael Wray @BristolUniEng E.g.2 retrieving "frying chicken" benefits from attending to prior clip where chicken is visible
