A new method, VAPLAN, improves weakly-supervised Audio-Visual Video Parsing by leveraging large-scale pre-trained models (CLIP and CLAP) to generate segment-level pseudo labels, which are then exploited with a richness-aware loss and denoised for refinement. The approach achieves new state-of-the-art results on the LLP dataset, showing, for instance, a +14.4% event-level F-score for visual events over the baseline.

Key insights

  • Large-scale pre-trained models like CLIP and CLAP can be effectively used in a zero-shot manner to generate high-quality, fine-grained segment-level pseudo labels for both visual and audio modalities.
  • Segment-level pseudo labels provide a significantly richer supervisory signal than video-level labels, effectively mitigating cross-modal interference and enabling precise temporal localization.
  • A "richness-aware" loss that considers the distribution of event categories per segment and segments per event can more effectively exploit fine-grained pseudo labels.
