Bridging Vision and Language: Modeling Causality and Temporality in Video Narratives
- 引入因果-时序推理模块,分别捕捉事件因果与时间关系。
- 在MSVD和MSR-VTT上超越现有方法,CIDEr等指标显著提升。
- 适合需要精准理解视频逻辑的场景,如医疗、教育视频分析。
视频字幕生成是多模态机器学习的关键任务,旨在为视频内容生成描述性强且连贯的文本叙事。尽管大型视觉语言模型(LVLM)已取得显著进展,但往往难以捕捉复杂视频序列中固有的因果与时间动态。为此,我们提出一种增强框架,将因果-时序推理模块(CTRM)融入先进LVLM中。CTRM包含两个核心组件:因果动态编码器(CDE)与时间关系学习器(TRL),共同从视频帧中编码因果依赖与时间一致性。我们设计了多阶段学习策略,结合大规模视频-文本数据预训练、因果标注数据微调以及对比对齐以提升嵌入一致性。在标准基准如MSVD和MSR-VTT上的实验表明,本方法在自动评估指标(CIDEr、BLEU-4、ROUGE-L)和人工评估中均优于现有方法,生成的字幕更具流畅性、连贯性和相关性。结果验证了该方法在生成富含因果-时序叙事的字幕方面的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Video captioning is a critical task in the field of multimodal machine learning, aiming to generate descriptive and coherent textual narratives for video content. While large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown significant progress, they often struggle to capture the causal and temporal dynamics inherent in complex video sequences. To address this limitation, we propose an enhanced framework that integrates a Causal-Temporal Reasoning Module (CTRM) into state-of-the-art LVLMs. CTRM comprises two key components: the Causal Dynamics Encoder (CDE) and the Temporal Relational Learner (TRL), which collectively encode causal dependencies and temporal consistency from video frames. We further design a multi-stage learning strategy to optimize the model, combining pre-training on large-scale video-text datasets, fine-tuning on causally annotated data, and contrastive alignment for better embedding coherence. Experimental results on standard benchmarks such as MSVD and MSR-VTT demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches in both automatic metrics (CIDEr, BLEU-4, ROUGE-L) and human evaluations, achieving more fluent, coherent, and relevant captions. These results validate the effectiveness of our approach in generating captions with enriched causal-temporal narratives.
