End-to-end Dense Video Captioning as Sequence Generation. (arXiv:2204.08121v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)

Dense video captioning aims to identify the events of interest in an input
video, and generate descriptive captions for each event. Previous approaches
usually follow a two-stage generative process, which first proposes a segment
for each event, then renders a caption for each identified segment. Recent
advances in large-scale sequence generation pretraining have seen great success
in unifying task formulation for a great variety of tasks, but so far, more
complex tasks such as dense video captioning are not able …
