CHAN: Cross-Modal Hybrid Attention Network for Temporal Language Grounding in Videos
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The goal of temporal language grounding (TLG) task is to temporally localize the most semantically matched video segment with respect to a given sentence query in an untrimmed video. How to effectively incorporate the cross-modal interactions between video and language is the key to improve grounding performance. Previous approaches focus on learning correlations by computing the attention matrix between each frame-word pair, while ignoring the global semantics conditioned on one modality for better associating the complex video contents and sentence query of the target modality. In this paper, we propose a novel Cross-modal Hybrid Attention Network, which integrates two parallel attention fusion modules to exploit the semantics of each modality and interactions in cross modalities. One is Intra-Modal Attention Fusion, which utilizes gated self-attention to capture the frame-by-frame and word-by-word relations conditioned on the other modality. The other is Inter-Modal Attention Fusion, which utilizes query and key features derived from different modalities to calculate the co-attention weights and further promote inter-modal fusion. Experimental results show that our CHAN significantly outperforms several existing state-of-the-arts on three challenging datasets (ActivityNet Captions, Charades-STA and TACOS), demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
