ObjectNLQ @ Ego4D Episodic Memory Challenge 2024

In this report, we present our approach for the Natural Language Query track and Goal Step track of the Ego4D Episodic Memory Benchmark at CVPR 2024. Both challenges require the localization of actions within long video sequences using textual queries. To enhance localization accuracy, our method not only processes the temporal information of videos but also identifies fine-grained objects spatially within the frames. To this end, we introduce a novel approach, termed ObjectNLQ, which incorporates an object branch to augment the video representation with detailed object information, thereby improving grounding efficiency. ObjectNLQ achieves a mean R@1 of 23.15, ranking 2nd in the Natural Language Queries Challenge, and gains 33.00 in terms of the metric R@1, IoU=0.3, ranking 3rd in the Goal Step Challenge. Our code will be released at https://github.com/Yisen-Feng/ObjectNLQ.

For agents, Syntology's MCP tool lists every function and class Syntology harvested from this paper and whether it ran (how to connect): get_harvested_code_for_paper(arxiv_id="2406.15778")

Code

Syntology Ran 7 of 8 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 1 has no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran · honoured contract; 1 ran · fixture could not drive it; 5 ran with no contract checked.

By repository: official repository: 8 samples from 1 repository, 7 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Licence: 0 of the 8 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from yisen-feng/objectnlq. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
