Text-Video Retrieval (TVR) retrieves videos that match a natural-language query, but extending image-text models such as CLIP to videos is fundamentally limited by the lack of temporal modeling. Video...
arXiv:2608. 11343v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal retrieval and classification across different types of media, spanning text, images,video and audio, has traditionally relied on dual-encoder models that align visual and textual representations through contrastive learning.
The paper introduces ReT-2, a unified retrieval model that handles multimodal queries containing both images and text and searches across multimodal document collections. It employs a recurrent Transformer architecture with LSTM-inspired gating to integrate information across layers and modalities, capturing fine-grained visual and textual details. Evaluations on M2KR and M-BEIR benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance, faster inference, and lower memory usage, and the model also boosts downstream tasks in retrieval‑augmented generation pipelines.

arXiv:2607. 16305v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved strong progress in multimodal understanding.
The paper introduces CoVR‑R, a reason‑aware composed video retrieval system that, given a reference video and an edit instruction, retrieves a target video that satisfies the edit. It employs a zero‑shot reason‑then‑retrieve pipeline using Qwen3.5‑27B to generate structured descriptions and dense embeddings for gallery videos, and performs edit reasoning on the query to produce a target‑video description used as the query embedding. The method combines dense retrieval with a TF‑IDF branch over generated texts, fusing the rankings with split‑specific weights, achieving state‑of‑the‑art retrieval metrics on both validation and blind test splits.
