🔬 We are excited to announce Marengo 2.7: A breakthrough in video understanding powered by our innovative multi-vector embedding architecture! 🎯 What makes Marengo 2.7 special? We've come up with a novel approach that represents videos using multiple specialized vectors, each capturing distinct aspects of visual, audio, and semantic content. This multi-vector representation enables unprecedented precision in video search and understanding. 📊 The quantitative evaluation results speak for themselves: - 76.0% average recall in general text to visual search (13% advantage over external SOTA) - 78.1% average recall in motion search (22.5% improvement from the previous version) - 77.0% average recall in OCR search (13.4% higher than current SOTA) - 90.6% average recall in image object search (32.6% improvement from the previous version) - 56% mean average precision in image logo search (19.2% above current SOTA) - 57.7% average recall in general audio search across benchmark datasets 🧪What sets us apart? Our commitment to rigorous evaluation. We've tested Marengo 2.7 against 60+ multimodal retrieval datasets - the most comprehensive evaluation framework in the industry. This extensive testing ensures our model performs consistently across diverse real-world scenarios. 💪 Real-world performance highlights: - Sophisticated understanding of complex events like detailed sports plays and sequential visual elements in urban settings - Impressive logo and object detection even with low-resolution images and challenging viewing angles - Advanced audio comprehension spanning speech content and instrument recognition 🔍 Areas we're actively improving: While Marengo 2.7 excels in many areas, we're transparent about the current challenges we're addressing, including complex scene understanding with multiple simultaneous events, highly compositional queries, and performance with heavily accented speech or text in unusual orientations. These represent exciting opportunities for our next innovations in video understanding technology. 👓 Read the complete technical blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gByqiCPY 🎮 Experience the future of video understanding via our Playground: https://lnkd.in/g3cpYr77 👩💻 Integrate our Search API into your applications: https://lnkd.in/gSaZUxhz
