📝 摘要(中文)
随着人工智能在视频生成领域的快速发展,视频理解的重要性日益凸显。多模态大型语言模型(M-LLM)在视频理解方面展现出良好能力,而视频摘要作为视频理解的一个重要分支,对于高效导航和检索至关重要。现有视频摘要方法主要集中在选定的关键帧及其相关的段落标题上,忽视了从全局视角考虑帧的重要性。本文提出了Highlight-guided Attention Steering(HAS)方法,旨在通过全局的连续帧高亮分布来提升视频摘要的质量。HAS方法在模型推理时,将更多注意力集中在高亮帧上,同时避免对低亮帧的信息遗忘。实验结果表明,HAS在多个基准测试中表现出色。
🔬 方法详解
问题定义:本文旨在解决现有视频摘要方法中因依赖离散关键帧而导致的信息损失和理解一致性降低的问题。现有方法往往忽视了帧的重要性全局性,导致重要信息的丢失。
核心思路:HAS方法的核心思想是通过全局连续帧的高亮分布来引导M-LLM的注意力,使模型在推理时能够更好地理解视频内容,同时避免对低亮帧信息的遗忘。
技术框架:HAS方法主要包括两个部分:第一部分是为视频找到一个全局的连续帧高亮分布;第二部分是将该高亮分布作为注意力引导向量应用于M-LLM,从而在模型推理时更关注高亮帧。
关键创新:HAS的主要创新在于引入了全局高亮分布的概念,区别于传统方法仅依赖离散关键帧,从而提升了视频摘要的理解一致性和信息保留能力。
关键设计:在设计上,HAS方法通过计算视频中每一帧的高亮程度,形成一个连续的高亮分布,并在模型推理过程中动态调整注意力权重,以确保对重要帧的关注度提升。

🎯 应用场景
HAS方法在视频摘要、视频检索和智能监控等领域具有广泛的应用潜力。通过提升视频理解的质量,HAS能够帮助用户更高效地获取关键信息,优化视频内容的导航和检索体验。未来,该方法还可能在视频生成和编辑等领域发挥重要作用。
📄 摘要(原文)
Video understanding has become more and more important with the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for video generation. Recently, Multimodal Large Language Model(M-LLM) has shown its capability in video understanding. Video summarization, a specific domain of video understanding, has proven its importance for efficient navigation and retrieval. Both video understanding and video summarization require a good selection of key frames in a video. Current video summarization methods heavily focus on the selected key frames and correlated segment captions. However, existing approaches overlook the perspective of treating the importance of the frames globally. We argue that using discrete selected frames for summarization will not only reduce the understanding coherence, but also lost important information in the video, as well as wasting the original capacity of the MLLMs. In this paper, we propose HAS, a Highlight-guided Attention Steering method for video summarization. We consider a challenging but practical setting where the video given to MLLMs for summarize should be continuous but with highlight guidance. HAS mainly consists of two parts: The first part is to find a continuous frame-level highlight distribution for the video globally. The second part is to apply the highlight distribution as an attention steering vector for the MLLM, targeting a better understanding of the video, and thus during the model inference time, putting more attention on the highlighted frames, while avoiding lost entire information on less highlighted frames through putting less attention instead of forgetting them. We evaluated HAS on a variety of benchmarks, and it has shown convincing performance in video summarization.
