Exploiting Feature Diversity for Make-up Temporal Video Grounding

This technical report presents the 3rd winning solution for MTVG, a new task introduced in the 4-th Person in Context (PIC) Challenge at ACM MM 2022. MTVG aims at localizing the temporal boundary of the step in an untrimmed video based on a textual description. The biggest challenge of this task is the fine-grained video-text semantics of make-up steps. However, current methods mainly extract video features using action-based pre-trained models. As actions are more coarse-grained than make-up steps, action-based features are not suffi cient to provide fi ne-grained cues. To address this issue,we propose to achieve fi ne-grained representation via exploiting feature diversities. Specifi cally, we proposed a series of methods from feature extraction, network optimization, to model ensemble. As a result, we achieved 3rd place in the MTVG competition.
