Deep Video Understanding with Video-Language Model

Pre-trained video-language models (VLMs) have shown superior performance in high-level video understanding tasks, analyzing multi-modal information, aligning with Deep Video Understanding Challenge (DVUC) requirements.In this paper, we explore pre-trained VLMs' potential in multimodal question answering for long-form videos. We propose a solution called Dual Branches Video Modeling (DBVM), which combines knowledge graph (KG) and VLMs, leveraging their strengths and addressing shortcomings.The KG branch recognizes and localizes entities, fuses multimodal features at different levels, and constructs KGs with entities as nodes and relationships as edges.The VLM branch applies a selection strategy to adapt input movies into acceptable length and a cross-matching strategy to post-process results providing accurate scene descriptions.Experiments conducted on the DVUC dataset validate the effectiveness of our DBVM.
