  • Publication number: 20250232586
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for determining a similarity between text and a video are described. In an example, an initial text feature and an initial video feature that correspond to text and a video are respectively obtained by using a text feature extraction model and a video feature extraction model. The initial text feature is processed based on a syntactic level analysis result of the text, to obtain text features that correspond to elements in the syntactic level analysis result. A video level analysis result corresponding to the syntactic level analysis result is constructed based on a degree of matching between the text features and the initial video feature. Video features corresponding to elements in the video level analysis result are obtained. A similarity between the text and the video is determined based on a similarity between a text feature and a video feature corresponding to elements in a corresponding level.
