Video captioning poses a significant challenge within the Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence domains. It involves the challenging task of translating the visual content of videos into natural language descriptions. Despite significant advancements achieved through deep learning techniques, existing approaches usually perform such a task in a closed-world scenario, assuming all actions, concepts presented in a scene, and vocabulary are known in advance. However, new actions and objects may emerge unexpectedly in real-world applications, and new vocabulary may be necessary to describe those concepts. Therefore, an ideal video captioning approach for an open-world environment should be able to describe known events, detect unknown ones, and adapt incrementally to learn how to describe new events without forgetting what it has already learned. This thesis presents contributions to the video captioning problem in an open-world scenario. The first method, called OSVidCap, was proposed to describe concurrent known events performed by humans in videos and can deal with unknown ones. The second proposed method is an incremental learning approach for video captioning, designed to adapt an existing model to learn new events incrementally. Two novel datasets and a protocol for evaluating video captioning approaches in an open-world scenario are presented. Experimental results conducted on these datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. |
