Zero-Shot Multimodal Video Querying with Adaptive Candidates Ranking

Video content retrieval involves searching and extracting relevant video sections based on user queries. We introduce a multimodal video querying system that integrates text and image data to improve accuracy and efficiency. The system uses dynamic candidates generation and ranking techniques to improve response accuracy in zero-shot scenarios, where models haven’t been trained on specific datasets. Our system has set a new state-of-the-art benchmark on YouCook2 benchmark dataset.
