IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2024

Given an egocentric video, Egoinstructor automatically retrieves semantically relevant instructional videos (e.g. from HowTo100M) via a pretrained cross-view retrieval model and leverages the visual/textual information to generate the caption of the egocentric video.

Roadmap

• Retrieval code and data released
• Captioning code and data released
• Online Demo
• Pre-trained checkpoints
