The implementation of the paper DiffusionRet: Generative Text-Video Retrieval with Diffusion Model.
In this paper, we propose a novel diffusion-based text-video retrieval framework, called DiffusionRet, which addresses the limitations of current discriminative solutions from a generative perspective.

Existing text-video retrieval solutions are, in essence, discriminant models focused on maximizing the conditional likelihood, i.e., p(candidates|query). While straightforward, this de facto paradigm overlooks the underlying data distribution p(query), which makes it challenging to identify out-of-distribution data. To address this limitation, we creatively tackle this task from a generative viewpoint and model the correlation between the text and the video as their joint probability p(candidates,query). This is accomplished through a diffusion-based text-video retrieval framework (DiffusionRet), which models the retrieval task as a process of gradually generating joint distribution from noise.
