Peer-Reviewed Publications
ChapVidMR: Chapter-based Video Moment Retrieval using Natural Language Queries
ICVGIP 2024 • Dec 2024
- This work addresses Video Moment Retrieval (VMR) by leveraging YouTube chapters for meaningful video segmentation. We propose a novel approach that links natural language queries to multiple relevant moments within videos, rather than single moments as in traditional VMR tasks. Our method utilizes chapter-based segmentation to improve temporal localization accuracy in long-form video content.
