Abstract: A system may be configured to provide natural language search over security videos. In some aspects, the system may generate a first representation of sampled video information in a multidimensional format via a first machine learning model, and receive a request including a natural language input. Further, the system may generate a second representation of the natural language input in the multidimensional format via a second machine learning model that is a different from the first machine learning model, and determine that the first representation has a predefined relationship with the second representation. In addition, the system may present the second representation as a response to the request based on the first representation having the predefined relationship with the second representation.
