SeqResize-Qwen2.5-Omni-3B

This model uses SeqResize (sequence resizing) to compress multi-vector audiovisual video representations for ColBERT-style late interaction retrieval. Model weights are initialized from Qwen2.5-Omni-3B-Instruct (thinker part) and finetuned on RankVideo-Dataset and tested on MultiVENT2.0 for audiovisual text-to-video retrieval with bidirectional attention.

SeqResize compresses video and audio token vectors into a fixed budget of 64 vectors through projection along the sequence dimension.

Method Overview

SeqResize is a simple compression baseline: a MLP (or linear) layer projects the sequence dimension from a fixed input length to a fixed output length. Variable-length token sequences are trim-or-padded to the input length, then projected to the target number of vectors for ColBERT-style MaxSim retrieval. It is not the main method in our paper; we include it as a baseline.

Model Details

Usage

Important: When loading this model you must set resizer_input_size, resizer_output_size, and resizer_hidden_size to match the trained checkpoint (1280, 64, and 256 for this release). The extra_encoder_state.safetensors, should also be placed in the model directory so the sequence resizer weights are loaded.
