Video highlight detection aims to identify temporally important segments that capture the most informative or engaging events in a video. Reliable prediction therefore requires not only discriminative...
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 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.

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.
