MSR-VTT Benchmark (Zero-Shot Video Retrieval)
Zero-shot video retrieval is the task of retrieving relevant videos based on a query (usually in text form) without any prior training on specific examples of those videos. Unlike traditional retrieval methods that rely on supervised learning with annotated datasets, zero-shot retrieval leverages pre-trained models, typically based on large-scale vision-language learning, to understand semantic relationships between textual descriptions and video content.
This approach enables retrieval of unseen video concepts by generalizing knowledge from diverse training data, making it highly useful for domains with limited labeled data, such as broadcast media, surveillance, and historical archives.

Syntology Ran reads "N of M ran · U unverified": of the M code samples Syntology harvested from repositories linked to that row's paper (joined by arXiv id), N executed on a synthesized input and the other U = M−N are unverified (harvested, no recorded run). It counts code from repositories linked to that row's paper, not this result: the row's number was not reproduced and nothing here is a correctness claim. The other cell texts mean no graph line for the row: "linked, not harvested" (the archive links code, Syntology has not harvested it), "no code linked" (no code link in the archive), "not matched" (the row's paper URL matched no paper on this site). 24 rows have a graph line, from 20 distinct papers; 23 rows (19 papers) have at least one sample that ran. Counting each paper once: Syntology ran 112 of 238 samples; 126 unverified. Separately, 56 of those 238 are pointer-only (licence): the site points at that code rather than redistributing it, a licence property recorded for ran and unverified samples alike; each cell's tooltip carries the row's own pointer-only count. Read from the graph 2026-09-24. Per-sample status is on the paper page.
