Towards Efficient Partially Relevant Video Retrieval with Active Moment Discovering

arXiv:2504.10920v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Partially relevant video retrieval (PRVR) is a practical yet challenging task in text-to-video retrieval, where videos are untrimmed and contain much background content. The pursuit here is of both effective and efficient solutions to capture the partial correspondence between text queries and untrimmed videos. Existing PRVR methods, which typically focus on modeling multi-scale clip representations, however, suffer from content independence and information redundancy, impairing retrieval performance. To overcome these limitations, we propose a simple yet effective approach with active moment discovering (AMDNet). We are committed to discovering video moments that are semantically consistent with their queries. By using learnable span anchors to capture distinct moments and applying masked multi-moment attention to emphasize salient moments while suppressing redundant backgrounds, we achieve more compact and informative video representations. To further enhance moment modeling, we introduce a moment diversity loss to encourage different moments of distinct regions and a moment relevance loss to promote semantically query-relevant moments, which cooperate with a partially relevant retrieval loss for end-to-end optimization. Extensive experiments on two large-scale video datasets (\ie, TVR and ActivityNet Captions) demonstrate the superiority and efficiency of our AMDNet. In particular, AMDNet is about 15.5 times smaller (\#parameters) while 6.0 points higher (SumR) than the up-to-date method GMMFormer on TVR.

@dazo
Thank you for that valuable input

I've looked further into it and saw that it is quite extensive to set up and also has a suit that seems to be more targeted at larger environments to back up in a nice and cool manner, double confirming your words

When I discovered that for me it was easier to just jump back to bacula backup which I have known for decades

TIL about BareOS

It is an amazing backup and restore solution for all platforms

bareos.com/

  

The image is a promotional graphic for Bareos, an open-source backup and recovery software. The background is a gradient of blue shades with abstract geometric shapes, including hexagons and gears, suggesting a technological theme. The text is prominently displayed in white and light blue, with the title "Backup & Recovery Open Source Software" at the top. Below the title, it states, "Since 2012, Bareos provides a robust open-source backup and recovery solution, ensuring that your data remains secure and completely under your control across all major operating systems."

You can download a live image of gparted and work with the latest version with ease. My debian based distro has GParted 1.3.1 which is quite behind v1.7.0-1

Im downloading the latest right now!

Giving credit to the programmers of GPARTED(8)

gparted works its magic, by entering correct parameters to a suite of partition control & editing commands, which are sh envoked, so you can easily manipulate your partitions on all your SSDs HDDs from the comfort of your UI

When you want to batch manipulate partitions, you can study the log output and make sh scripts yourself, controlling partitions anywhere.
You also have the convenience of running gparted from sh so it still works its magic for you, without the UI!

I usually run cfdisk gdisk fdisk when I partition a fresh mechanical or SSD, later on I invoke gparted when I want to resize or move them

it also runs important commands at the end so that the kernel gets to know your new partition layout, which makes rebooting your machine to use them unneeded

I shrunk and resized a partition where I installed a program, which needed 75GB (*1024!) as installation space but only uses 56GB in the end. I left 12GB of breathing room on the partition after the shrink and of course grew the partition before with the same size, minus the alignment snip of 1MB

The composition shows a Windows Setup screen in a XEN VM during the installation process. The title at the top right says "Windows Setup". Below that, it says "Installing Windows." The status is as follows: "Copying Windows files" which has a green checkmark next to it, "Getting files ready for installation (66%)," "Installing features," "Installing updates," and "Finishing up." The background of the screen is a light pink or peach color.Scene two IPS LEDs displays in a pitch dark control Studio. The top screen displays the "Windows Setup" process, specifically "Installing Windows." The status indicates that it's at "Getting files ready for installation (82%)." The screen is numbered "1 Collecting information" and "2 Installing Windows" along the left side.

The second IPS LED panel shows a music player interface playing song is "Love Me or Leave Me" by "Nina Simone" in obvious HQ FLAC format from the album "Gospel According to Nina Simone." The genre is listed as "Blues." The song is 2 minutes and 14 seconds into a 4-minute song. The next song on queue is "Attitude".

Since the /e/ Operating System is a fork from Lineage OS I was not surprised that my particular phone is not supported at this time

What is hot warming is the fact that capable programmers put their time, money, food & drink & sweat into enabling users to rip themselves from the grip of the Duo Poly which exists of Apple and Google

It states that /e/OS is an alternative to the Apple/Google duopoly for smartphone users and consists of an installable mobile operating system for smartphones, which is forked from LineageOS/AOSP, and completely "deGoogled", a default set of open source applications that have been improved and optimized for the user, various online services that are linked to the mobile operating system, such as a meta search engine for the web, a cloud drive with data synchronization, mail, calendar, notes, tasks, advanced privacy, cuts mobile applications trackers, ads, and much more, and parental control, protects children from inappropriate contents (apps and web).

Jumping in right at the most important section which is the supported phones on Murena /e/ which is an operating system alternative for Android phones.

I bid thanks to the individual who taught me about the existence of this operating system
