The proliferation of cooking videos on the internet these days necessitates the conversion of these lengthy video contents into concise text recipes. Many online platforms now have a large number of cooking videos, in which, there is a challenge for viewers to extract comprehensive recipes from lengthy visual content. Effective summary is necessary in order to translate the abundance of culinary knowledge found in videos into text recipes that are easy to read and follow. This will make the cooking process easier for individuals who are searching for precise step by step cooking instructions. Such a system satisfies the needs of a broad spectrum of learners while also improving accessibility and user simplicity. As there is a growing need for easy-to-follow recipes made from cooking videos, researchers are looking on the process of automated summarization using advanced techniques. One such approach is presented in our work, which combines simple image-based models, audio processing, and GPT-based models to create a system that makes it easier to turn long culinary videos into in-depth recipe texts. A systematic workflow is adopted in order to achieve the objective. Initially, Focus is given for frame summary generation which employs a combination of two convolutional neural networks and a GPT-based model. A pre-trained CNN model called Inception-V3 is fine-tuned with food image dataset for dish recognition and another custom-made CNN is built with ingredient images for ingredient recognition. Then a GPT based model is used to combine the results produced by the two CNN models which will give us the frame summary in the desired format. Subsequently, Audio summary generation is tackled by performing Speech-to-text functionality in python. A GPT-based model is then used to generate a summary of the resulting textual representation of audio in our desired format. Finally, to refine the summaries obtained from visual and auditory content, Another GPT-based model is used

Video question answering(VideoQA) is a challenging yet important task that requires a joint understanding of low-level video content and high-level textual semantics. Despite the promising progress of existing efforts, recent studies revealed that current VideoQA models mostly tend to over-rely on the superficial correlations rooted in the dataset bias while overlooking the key video content, thus leading to unreliable results. Effectively understanding and modeling the temporal and semantic characteristics of a given video for robust VideoQA is crucial but, to our knowledge, has not been well investigated. To fill the research gap, we propose a robust VideoQA framework that can effectively model the cross-modality fusion and enforce the model to focus on the temporal and global content of videos when making a QA decision instead of exploiting the shortcuts in datasets. Specifically, we design a self-supervised contrastive learning objective to contrast the positive and negative pairs of multimodal input, where the fused representation of the original multimodal input is enforced to be closer to that of the intervened input based on video perturbation. We expect the fused representation to focus more on the global context of videos rather than some static keyframes. Moreover, we introduce an effective temporal order regularization to enforce the inherent sequential structure of videos for video representation. We also design a Kullback-Leibler divergence-based perturbation invariance regularization of the predicted answer distribution to improve the robustness of the model against temporal content perturbation of videos. Our method is model-agnostic and can be easily compatible with various VideoQA backbones. Extensive experimental results and analyses on several public datasets show the advantage of our method over the state-of-the-art methods in terms of both accuracy and robustness.
