TAME: Temporal-Aware Mixture-of-Experts for Text-Video Retrieval

TAME is a CLIP‑based framework for Text‑Video Retrieval that incorporates temporal modeling through three key innovations: sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts layers with frame‑consistent routing, Frame‑Temporal tokens that aggregate cross‑frame information, and a Cross‑Temporal Interaction and Aggregation module for refining frame‑wise similarities. These components enable the model to capture both local visual patterns and long‑range temporal dependencies, leading to consistent performance gains over CLIP‑based baselines on multiple TVR benchmarks, including a 4.0 R@1 improvement on MSR‑VTT. The code is publicly available on GitHub.

TAME: Temporal-Aware Mixture-of-Experts for Text-Video Retrieval

TAME introduces a Temporal-Aware Mixture-of-Experts framework for Text-Video Retrieval that enhances CLIP-based models by incorporating frame-level structure and temporal relations. It adds sparse Mixture-of-Experts layers with frame-consistent routing, Frame-Temporal tokens for global cross-frame aggregation, and a Cross-Temporal Interaction and Aggregation module to refine sentence-video similarities. Experiments on multiple TVR benchmarks show consistent performance gains, such as a 4.0 R@1 improvement on MSR‑VTT over CLIP4Clip.

Training-Free Temporal Abstraction for General Video Understanding

The paper introduces STITCH, a training‑free method that partitions videos into semantically meaningful temporal chunks using a frozen video‑text backbone. By detecting changes in the embedding sequence of short video windows, STITCH produces reusable temporal abstractions that can be applied to multiple tasks such as event boundary detection, language‑based moment retrieval, and frame selection for vision‑language models. Experiments show that STITCH performs competitively with specialized methods while requiring no task‑specific training, especially when processing is limited to a few frames or tokens.

MTOR: Generalizable AI-Generated Video Detection with Multimodal Semantics and Temporal Over-Regularity

MTOR introduces a generalizable AI‑generated video detector that combines global visual features with caption‑derived textual semantics and a novel Temporal Over‑Regularity (TOR) component. The TOR module captures three levels of temporal consistency—coarse inter‑frame continuity, fine‑grained token correspondence, and frame‑to‑video stability—to exploit the stronger temporal persistence and lower variability found in synthetic videos. Extensive tests on five benchmarks with 46 generator variants show MTOR outperforms 16 baselines and remains robust against twelve real‑world video perturbations.

Dataset Biases and Shortcut Learning in Motion-Based AI-Generated Video Detection

The paper examines four leading motion‑based AI‑generated video detectors and finds that three of them suffer from preprocessing and sampling biases that inflate their reported performance. These detectors rely heavily on motion patterns—specifically, the lower inter‑frame movement typical of synthetic videos—so their accuracy drops to near random when tested on datasets lacking this bias or after simple spatial augmentations. In contrast, a frequency‑based detector remains robust across all datasets, indicating that frequency‑domain methods may generalize better for detecting AI‑generated videos.

Intrinsic Temporal Adaptation of CLIP for Partially Relevant Video Retrieval

The paper introduces Intrinsic Temporal Adaptation (ITA) for Partially Relevant Video Retrieval (PRVR), a task that seeks untrimmed videos containing moments relevant to a text query. ITA employs a Backbone-Internal Temporal Adaptation that lets the final visual transformer layers attend to neighboring frames, creating temporally aware embeddings while keeping CLIP frozen. Additionally, an Affinity-Weighted Gradient Propagation technique softly aggregates top‑k frames based on text‑frame affinities to better handle the weakly supervised nature of PRVR, leading to state‑of‑the‑art performance and more accurate frame‑level evidence retrieval.
