VLog introduces two novel approaches to video-language understanding: treating video narration as a vocabulary problem and viewing videos as long documents for LLM interaction. This project targets researchers and developers in computer vision and natural language processing, offering new methods for detailed video analysis and conversational interaction with video content.

How It Works

The "Video Narration as Vocabulary" approach utilizes a GPT2-based video narrator that employs Generative Retrieval to create a narration vocabulary. This method aims for efficient and comprehensive video narration. The "Video as Long Document" approach transforms a video into a textual document encompassing both visual and audio information, enabling LLMs to engage in conversational analysis of the video content.
