The proposed Video-Language pre-training framework, VLSA, learns tri-modal representations from large-scale data in a self-supervised way. It uses a unified transformer to jointly process video, text, and audio modalities. The model incorporates local-patch masked modeling to learn modality-aware features and global audio matching to capture audio-guided features for video and text. VLSA outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on retrieval tasks across text, video, and audio, even with limited training data.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
VLSA is a new way to train machines to understand videos, texts, and sounds together. It’s like teaching a computer to watch a movie, read the subtitles, and listen to the soundtrack at the same time! The researchers created this system to make it better at recognizing patterns in all three types of media. They tested it on lots of data and found that it was really good at matching videos with texts and sounds.
