| Challenge: | Existing video captioning benchmarks and models produce generic captions for videos that lack specific identification of individuals, locations, or organizations. |
| Approach: | They propose a task of directly summarizing news videos into captions that are entity-aware . they validate the effectiveness of their approach across three video captioning models . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach is effective across three video captioning models. |

Focus! Relevant and Sufficient Context Selection for News Image Captioning (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work only coarsely leverages the article to extract the necessary context, which makes it difficult for models to identify relevant events and named entities. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a vision and language retrieval model CLIP to localize the visually grounded entities in the news article and then capture the non-visual entities via an open relation extraction model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model significantly improves on existing models and achieves state-of-the-art on multiple benchmarks. |
