Not All Inputs Are Valid: Towards Open-Set Video Moment Retrieval Using Language 文章

arXiv:2605.29812v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video Moment Retrieval (VMR) targets to retrieve the specific moment corresponding to a sentence query from an untrimmed video. Although recent works have made remarkable progress in this task, they implicitly are rooted in the closed-set assumption that all the given queries as video-relevant\footnote{In this paper, we treat ``video-relevant query'' as ``in-distribution (ID) query'' and ``video-irrelevant query'' as ``out-of-distribution (OOD) query''.}. Given an OOD query in open-set scenarios, they still utilize it for wrong retrieval, which might lead to irrecoverable losses in high-risk scenarios, \textit{e.g.}, criminal activity detection. To this end, we creatively explore a brand-new VMR setting termed Open-Set Video Moment Retrieval (OS-VMR), where we should not only retrieve the precise moments based on ID query, but also reject OOD queries.
