Abstract

In the dynamic field of video retrieval, precise and effective search methods are crucial for managing complex datasets. We present HORUS, a novel approach based on multimodal Large Language Models (mLLMs) that advances video retrieval capabilities through two key innovations: (1) advanced multi-modal feature aggregation, integrating text-to-image search with CLIP, free-text search from captions generated by Video-LLaMA2, and visual features from Video-LLaMA to capture temporal dynamics; and (2) GPT-based query expansion, combined with an advanced filter, addresses issues with low-quality open-ended text queries and refines item searches based on type and location within a scene. This work provides cutting-edge solutions for the VBS 2025 challenge and offers valuable insights into enhancing video search techniques.
