Abstract: Retrieving partially relevant segments from untrimmed videos remains difficult due to two persistent challenges: the mismatch in information density between text and video segments, and limited attention mechanisms that overlook semantic focus and event correlations. We present KDC-Net, a Knowledge-Refined Dual Context-Aware Network that tackles these issues from both textual and visual perspectives. On the text side, a Hierarchical Semantic Aggregation module captures and adaptively fuses multi-scale phrase cues to enrich query semantics. On the video side, a Dynamic Temporal Attention mechanism employs relative positional encoding and adaptive temporal windows to highlight key events with local temporal coherence. Additionally, a dynamic CLIP-based distillation strategy, enhanced with temporal-continuity-aware refinement, ensures segment-aware and objective-aligned knowledge transfer. Experiments on PRVR benchmarks show that KDC-Net consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, especially under low moment-to-video ratios.
Depression subtype classification from social media posts: few-shot prompting vs. fine-tuning of large language models
BackgroundSocial media provides timely proxy signals of mental health, but reliable tweet-level classification of depression subtypes remains challenging due to short, noisy text, overlapping symptomatology,
