Video Moment Retrieval in Practical Setting: A Dataset of Ranked Moments for Imprecise Queries

The benchmark and dataset for the paper "Video Moment Retrieval in Practical Settings: A Dataset of Ranked Moments for Imprecise Queries" is coming soon.

We recommend cloning the code, data, and feature files from the Hugging Face repository at TVR-Ranking. This repository only includes the code for ReLoCLNet. You can download the other baseline models from XML and CONQUER.

Getting started

1. Install the requisites

The Python packages we used are listed as follows. Commonly, the most recent versions work well.

conda create --name tvr_ranking python=3.11
conda activate tvr_ranking
pip install pytorch # 2.2.1+cu121
pip install tensorboard 
pip install h5py pandas tqdm easydict pyyaml

2. Download full dataset

For the full dataset, please go down from Hugging Face TVR-Ranking.
The detailed introduction and raw annotations is available at Dataset Introduction.

  -val.json                  
  -test.json                 
  -train_top01.json
  -train_top20.json
  -train_top40.json
  -video_corpus.json

3. Download features

For the query BERT features, you can download them from Hugging Face TVR-Ranking.
For the video and subtitle features, please request them at TVR.

tar -xf tvr_feature_release.tar.gz -C data/TVR_Ranking/feature

4. Training

# modify the data path first 
sh run_top20.sh

5. Inferring

The checkpoint can all be accessed from Hugging Face TVR-Ranking.

sh infer_top20.sh

Experiment Results

Baseline

The baseline performance of $NDGC@40$ was shown as follows. Top $N$ moments were comprised of a pseudo training set by the query-caption similarity.
