About this paper

Joungbin An, Kristen Grauman

HieraMamba presents a novel hierarchical Anchor-MambaPooling architecture leveraging State-Space Models for linear-time processing of long videos, achieving precise localization of natural language queries. The model sets new state-of-the-art performance on Ego4D-NLQ, MAD, and TACoS benchmarks while demonstrating improved computational efficiency.

Key insights

  • Combining linear-time State-Space Models (SSMs) with a hierarchical anchoring strategy effectively mitigates the quadratic computational cost of self-attention for long videos without losing temporal detail.
  • Content-adaptive hierarchical compression through Anchor-MambaPooling, which includes interleaved global (Mamba) and local (Transformer) encoding, is more effective than naive downsampling for building multi-scale video representations.
  • Complementary contrastive objectives, both self-supervised (ACC) and supervised (SPC), significantly enhance the compactness, distinctiveness, and semantic alignment of learned multi-scale video features.
