Appendix for QVH IGHLIGHTS: Detecting Moments and Highlights in Videos via Natural Language Queries
In Table 2, we show the effect of using different #moment queries. As can be seen from the table, this hyper-parameter has a large impact on moment retrieval task where a reasonably smaller value (e.g., 10) gives better performance. As described in main text Equation 3, Moment-DETR's saliency loss Table 3, we study the effect of using the two terms. We show more correct predictions and failure cases from our Moment-DETR model in Figure 1 and Figure 2. In Table 4, we show the distribution of annotated saliency scores. We noticed 94.41% of the annotated clips are rated by two or more users as'Fair' or better (i.e., >=3, To ensure data quality, we require workers to pass our qualification test before participating in our annotation task.
Rationally Inattentive Inverse Reinforcement Learning Explains YouTube Commenting Behavior
Hoiles, William, Krishnamurthy, Vikram, Pattanayak, Kunal
We consider a novel application of inverse reinforcement learning which involves modeling, learning and predicting the commenting behavior of YouTube viewers. Each group of users is modeled as a rationally inattentive Bayesian agent. Our methodology integrates three key components. First, to identify distinct commenting patterns, we use deep embedded clustering to estimate framing information (essential extrinsic features) that clusters users into distinct groups. Second, we present an inverse reinforcement learning algorithm that uses Bayesian revealed preferences to test for rationality: does there exist a utility function that rationalizes the given data, and if yes, can it be used to predict future behavior? Finally, we impose behavioral economics constraints stemming from rational inattention to characterize the attention span of groups of users.The test imposes a R{\'e}nyi mutual information cost constraint which impacts how the agent can select attention strategies to maximize their expected utility. After a careful analysis of a massive YouTube dataset, our surprising result is that in most YouTube user groups, the commenting behavior is consistent with optimizing a Bayesian utility with rationally inattentive constraints. The paper also highlights how the rational inattention model can accurately predict future commenting behavior. The massive YouTube dataset and analysis used in this paper are available on GitHub and completely reproducible.
