[0001] This Application also makes reference to Indian Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 202411015338, which was filed on March 01, 2024. The above stated Patent Application is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. FIELD

[0002] Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to image processing. More specifically, various embodiments of the disclosure relate to an electronic device and a method for event-based multimedia segment classification from cross-modal features of multimedia content. BACKGROUND

[0003] In media and entertainment, detection of anomalies (for example, violence and nudity) in image segments may involve development of algorithms and techniques to automatically identify and classify explicit or inappropriate content within specific regions or sections of an image. The anomaly detection (such as, detection of violence and nudity) in image segments may typically involve the use of machine learning and deep learning models. These models may be trained on large datasets that include labeled examples of explicit or inappropriate content. The models may learn to recognize patterns, features, and visual cues that may be indicative of violence or nudity. Such models may analyze various aspects of an image, such as color, texture, shape, and context. The models may identify explicit body parts, weapons, blood, or other visual elements associated with violent or explicit content. The detection of anomalies in image segments is a challengingDocket No. SYP354615WO02 problem due to the wide range of variations in visual content, cultural differences, and the constant evolution of explicit content.

[0004] Limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.

[0013] The following described implementations may be found in a disclosed electronic device and a method for event-based multimedia segment classification based on cross- modal fusion adaptor. Exemplary aspects of the disclosure may provide an electronic device that may receive multimedia content (for example, videos, images, moving pictures, and the like) including a set of multimedia segments associated with plurality of modalities (for example, audio, video, and the like). The electronic device may determine a set of features associated with the received multimedia content for each modality of the plurality of modalities (for example, audio, video, and the like), based on an encoder model (for example, audio encoder, visual encoder, and the like). Further, the electronic device may apply a bottleneck attention model on the determined set of features and determine cross- modal fused features (such as, cross-modal aware features) for the plurality of modalities associated with the received multimedia content, based on the application of the bottleneck attention model. The determined cross-modal fused features may be segregated into a set of nodes (for example, a node “A”, node “B”, and the like) based on one or more events (for example, a concert, a surveillance footage, and the like)Docket No. SYP354615WO02 associated with the received multimedia content and apply a classifier model on the segregated cross-modal fused features. The electronic device may classify each multimedia segment into one or more events, based on the application of the classifier model.

[0014] The detection of anomalies (for example, violence, nudity, and the like) in a video is a widely recognized computer vision challenge that holds potential for various practical applications, including surveillance systems, crime prevention, and content moderation. However, the determination of annotations for anomalies at the frame level in the videos can be both expensive and time-consuming. Recently, techniques such as, Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection (WS-VAD) model, are used to detect anomaly events such as, violence and nudity, in videos using only video-level labels. For example, in a scenario of surveillance videos and associated labelled dataset, a WS-VAD label of the video may be either “normal” or “anomalous”. The WS-VAD model may learn to identify abnormal events, such as, a person with a weapon or a person involved in violent behavior, based on the video-level labels. This approach may reduce the annotation effort and makes it feasible to detect anomalies in large scale video datasets. However, the video anomaly detection task may have significant challenges, such as, issues related to imbalanced modality information and consistent differentiation between normal and abnormal features.

[0015] The disclosed electronic device may receive multimedia content (for example, videos, images, moving pictures, and the like) including a set of multimedia segments associated with plurality of modalities (for example, audio, video, and the like). The electronic device may determine a set of features associated with the received multimedia content for each modality of the plurality of modalities (for example, audio, video, and the like), based on an encoder model (for example, audio encoder, visual encoder, and theDocket No. SYP354615WO02 like). Further, the electronic device may apply a bottleneck attention model on the determined set of features and determine cross-modal fused features for the plurality of modalities associated with the received multimedia content, based on the application of the bottleneck attention model. The determined cross-modal fused features may be segregated into a set of nodes (for example, node “A”, node “B” and the like) based on one or more events (for example, a concert, surveillance video, and the like) associated with the received multimedia content and apply a classifier model on the segregated cross- modal fused features. The electronic device may classify each multimedia segment into one or more events, based on the application of the classifier model. The bottleneck attention model may facilitate effective multi-modal interaction based on dynamic regulation of a contribution of each modality. Also, the bottleneck attention model may incorporate a prefix-tuned bottleneck attention adapter and a modulation model. The bottleneck attention model including the bottleneck attention adapter may help to adapt the set of features of each modality to a shared bottleneck representation, that may ensure seamless interaction between modalities and may also preserve modality-specific characteristics.

[0016] Thus, the electronic device may detect anomaly events such as violence and nudity accurately. The electronic device may address imbalanced modality information issues and effectively facilitate multi-modal interaction by dynamic selection of relevant features (for example, audio features) with corresponding visual features. Additionally, the electronic device may determine hierarchical relationships within normal and abnormal representations, which may improve the accuracy of differentiation between the normal and abnormal features. In an example of a security system installed in a public space, such as an airport, the electronic device may detect anomaly events like violence and nudity by processing the multimedia content received from the security system. ForDocket No. SYP354615WO02 instance, if someone gets involved in a physical altercation or attempts to expose themselves, the electronic device may promptly identify and alert the security personnel. Moreover, the electronic device may address imbalanced modality information issues. For example, an audio input may be crucial for detection of a potential threat, such as, threatful remarks from a person. The electronic device may select the relevant audio features and combine them with corresponding visual features to, for example, analyze body language or suspicious movements. Such a comprehensive approach may ensure that no vital information is overlooked, which may enhance the overall effectiveness of the security system. Additionally, the electronic device may determine the hierarchical relationships within the normal and abnormal representations. For example, the electronic devices may learn and recognize patterns of normal behavior, such as, people walking or talking, and distinguish them from abnormal behavior, such as, someone running or acting erratically. Based on the determination of the hierarchical structure of such representations, an accuracy of the electronic device may increase. For example, the electronic device may be able to more accurately separate the normal and abnormal features, reduce false alarms, and improve overall security measures of the security system.

The bottleneck layer may act as a bottleneck, that may force the bottleneck attention model 112 to focus on the most relevant information and discard less important details. This compression may help to reduce computational requirements and a number of parameters in the bottleneck attention model 112. The bottleneck layer is typically a fully connected layer or a convolutional layer (CNN) that may reduce the dimensionality of the set of multimedia segments 110. The electronic device 102 may determine cross-modal fused features for the various modalities with the received multimedia content, based on the application of the bottleneck attention model 112.

The wireless communication may use one or more of a plurality of communication standards, protocols and technologies, such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5thGeneration (5G) New Radio (NR), code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi- Fi) (such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), light fidelity (Li-Fi), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (Wi-MAX), a near field communication protocol, and a wireless pear-to-pear protocol.

[0040] FIG.3 is a diagram that illustrates an exemplary processing pipeline of event- based multimedia segment classification from cross-modal features of multimedia content, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG.3 is explained in conjunction with elements from FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. With reference to FIG. 3, there is shown an exemplary execution pipeline 300 for event-based multimedia segment classification from cross-modal features of the multimedia content. The execution pipeline 300 may include operations 302 to 314 executed by a computing device, such as, the electronic device 102 of FIG.1 or the circuitry 202 of FIG.2.

[0041] At 302, multimedia content may be received. The circuitry 202 may be configured to receive multimedia content including the set of multimedia segments 110 (e.g., media segments 302A) associated with the plurality of modalities. The received set of multimedia segments 110 may be, for example, video frames, Virtual Reality (VR) segments, and the like.

[0042] At 304, the set of features associated with the received multimedia content may be determined. The circuitry 202 may be configured to determine, for each modality of theDocket No. SYP354615WO02 plurality of modalities, the set of features associated with the received multimedia content, based on the encoder model (e.g., an encoder model 304A). The set of features may include visual features, audio features 416, text features, and the like. The visual features may include features of images and video frames, such as, lines, edges, color transitions, and the like. The audio features may include voice overs, background music, sound effects, audio transitions, and the like. The text features may include titles, captions, subtitles, text overlays, and the like. The modalities may be associated with the image frames, video data, moving pictures and the like. The encoder model 304A may include visual encoders, audio encoders, and the like.

[0043] At 306, bottleneck attention model 112 may be applied. The circuitry 202 may be configured to apply the bottleneck attention model 112 on the determined set of features. The bottleneck attention model 112 includes various components such as a prefix-tuner, a cross-modal multi head attention model, a normal layer, a fully connected (FC) layer, an FC down-sampling layer, a Gaussian Error Linear Unit (GELU) model, and an FC up- sampling layer. The various components of the bottleneck attention model are described further, for example, in FIG.4A. The bottleneck attention model 112 may correspond to the prefix-tuned bottleneck attention model. Further, the bottleneck attention model 112 may correspond to the cross-modal multi-head attention model and the bottleneck adapter model. The bottleneck adapter model may include at least one of downscaling encoder model, the GELU model, or an upscaling decoder model.

[0044] The fusion model, for example, cross-modal fusion model, may be used to address the challenges of imbalanced modality information. The cross-modal fusion model may dynamically adjust the influence of each modality that may prioritize an importance of the audio features relative to the visual modality. The selective process may ensure that only relevant audio features that are crucial for visual learning are being utilized. Based onDocket No. SYP354615WO02 selection of the most appropriate features relative to the visual modality, the electronic device 102 of the disclosure may enhance visual feature learning by use of relevant audio features. Further, a hyperbolic graph convolution network based HLGAtt method may be introduced to maintain consistent discrimination between normal and abnormal features. The HLGAtt method may operate in a hyperbolic space to capture hierarchical relationships between normal and abnormal representations through spatial and temporal feature learning, which may aid to distinguish normal and abnormal features. The bottleneck attention model 112 may be used to address the imbalance issue in audio- visual modality information and effectively distinguish abnormal features from normal features so that anomaly events such as violence and nudity may be detected accurately. To address the imbalanced modality information issue, a fusion module called Cross- modal Fusion Adapter (CFA) may be used, which helps the proposed framework to facilitate multi-modal interaction effectively by dynamic regulation of the contribution of each modality. The attention model for example, the HLGAtt method, may be used to capture the hierarchical relationships between normal and abnormal features, that may enhance the feature separation.

[0045] At 308, cross-modal fused features may be determined for the plurality of modalities associated with the received multimedia content. The circuitry 202 may be configured to determine the cross-modal fused features for the plurality of modalities associated with the received multimedia content, based on the application of the bottleneck attention model 112. The bottleneck attention model 112 may correspond to bottleneck adapter model. The bottleneck adapter model may include a prefix-tuned based bottleneck attention and a modulation model 420. The prefix-tuned bottleneck attention may help in efficient multi-modal interaction between the plurality of modalities (for example, audio, visual and the like). A modulation model may be used to dynamicallyDocket No. SYP354615WO02 regulate the contribution of each modality during the fusion process, to account for the importance of the audio feature with respect to the visual modality. The prefix-tuned bottleneck attention model may incorporate prior knowledge into the feature transformation process based on a combination of the learned representations with initialized parameters (query attributes and prefix-tuned attributes) through the prefix-tuning operation. The query attributes may include visual features. The prefix-tuned attributes may correspond to a first set of prefix-tuned keys including first prefixes and keys of a key value pair or a second set of prefix-tuned values including second prefixes and values of the key-value pair. The prefix-tuned bottleneck attention model may concatenate the keys (K), and values (V) obtained from the audio features FA with prefixes Pk and Pv, that may result in prefix-tuned keys Kpand values Vp, respectively. The prefix-tuned keys Kpand prefix-tuned values Vpmay be initialized as zero matrices with dimensions of ℝ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, where B, DA& DPrepresent the batch size, audio feature dimension, andrespectively. These prefix-tuned keys Kp and values Vp along with the query Q, i.e., visual features FV, may be then passed on to the cross-modal multi-head attention model to determine the cross-modal fused features. The determination of the cross-modal fused features is described further, for example, in FIG.4A and FIG.4B.

[0046] At 310, the determined cross-modal fused features may be segregated. The circuitry 202 may be configured to segregate the determined cross-modal fused features into the set of nodes, based on the one or more events associated with the received multimedia content. The segregation of the determined cross-modal fused features may be based on a linear transformation and enhancement model corresponding to a Lorentz model. The determined cross-modal features may be converted to hyperbolic space features. The segregation of the determined cross-modal fused features may be furtherDocket No. SYP354615WO02 based on the converted cross-modal fused features. The segregation of the determined cross-modal fused features is described further, for example, in FIG.4A and FIG.4B.

[0047] At 312, the classifier model 114 may be applied on the segregated cross-modal fused features. The classifier model 114 may correspond to a hyperbolic classifier model. In an embodiment, the determined cross-modal fused features may be converted to the hyperbolic space features. An enhanced feature vector may be determined based on the application of the HL-GAtt model. The HL-GAtt may be applied on the converted cross- modal fused features. The enhanced features may be passed through a Leaky Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation and Softmax normalization operations to introduce non- linearity and ensure standardization across the enhanced feature maps. This may ensure that distinct patterns, representative of normal and abnormal data. The enhanced feature maps may be processed via matrix multiplication to compute attention, followed by the ReLU activation to generate the output feature maps. This can be formulated as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^ (^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .^^�^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^ ^^^^^ ) (1)where ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^may^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^may represent a ReLU activation function; and^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^and ^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^may represent hyperbolic space features associated with the node “A”and the node “B”, respectively

[0048] The classifier model 114 may be utilized to take the HLGAtt method as input and predict confidence scores for normal and abnormal events. The final score can be represented as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^^^^^^^) (2) where ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^may

[0049] The Multiple Instance Learning (MIL)-based learning objective may be adopted to calculate the mean value of the top k-max predictive scores within the set of multimediaDocket No. SYP354615WO02 segments. The high-scoring positive predictions may indicate the presence of abnormal events, while the k-max negative scores usually represent hard samples. This learning objective function can be formulated as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^= 1 ^^^^∑^^^^^^^^=^^^^ −^^^^^^^^ . ^^^^^^^^^^^^(�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^^) (3)where�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^^ may indicate an average of the k-max scores in the set of multimediasegments 110, and ^^^^^^^^represents the binary media segment-level label. The application of the classifier model is described further, for example, in FIG.4A and FIG.4B.

[0050] At 314, the set of multimedia segments may be classified into one or more events. The circuitry 202 may be configured to classify each multimedia segment of the set of multimedia segments 110 into the one or more events, based on the application of the classier model. For example, the set of multimedia segments 110 may be classified into classified media segments 316. The classification of the set of multimedia segments into the one or more events is described further, for example, in FIG.4A and FIG.4B.

[0051] The detection of anomalies (for example, violence, nudity, and the like) in a video is a widely recognized computer vision challenge that holds potential for various practical applications, including surveillance systems, crime prevention, and content moderation. However, the determination of annotations for anomalies at the frame level in the videos can be both expensive and time-consuming. Recently, techniques such as, Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection (WS-VAD) model, are used to detect anomaly events such as, violence and nudity, in videos using only video-level labels. For example, in a scenario of surveillance videos and associated labelled dataset, a WS-VAD label of the video may be either “normal” or “anomalous”. The WS-VAD model may learn to identify abnormal events, such as, a person with a weapon or a person involved in violent behavior, based on the video-level labels. This approach may reduce the annotation effort and makes it feasible to detect anomalies in large scale video datasets. However, the videoDocket No. SYP354615WO02 anomaly detection task may have significant challenges, such as, issues related to imbalanced modality information and consistent differentiation between normal and abnormal features.

[0052] The disclosed electronic device 102 may receive multimedia content (for example, videos, images, moving pictures, and the like) including a set of multimedia segments associated with plurality of modalities (for example, audio, video, and the like). The electronic device 102 may determine a set of features associated with the received multimedia content for each modality of the plurality of modalities (for example, audio, video, and the like), based on an encoder model (for example, audio encoder, visual encoder, and the like). Further, the electronic device 102 may apply a bottleneck attention model on the determined set of features and determine cross-modal fused features for the plurality of modalities associated with the received multimedia content, based on the application of the bottleneck attention model. The determined cross-modal fused features may be segregated into a set of nodes (for example, node “A”, node “B” and the like) based on one or more events (for example, a concert, surveillance video, and the like) associated with the received multimedia content and apply a classifier model on the segregated cross- modal fused features. The electronic device 102 may classify each multimedia segment into one or more events, based on the application of the classifier model. The bottleneck attention model may facilitate effective multi-modal interaction based on dynamic regulation of a contribution of each modality. Also, the bottleneck attention model may incorporate a prefix-tuned bottleneck attention adapter and a modulation model. The bottleneck attention model including the bottleneck attention adapter may help to adapt the set of features of each modality to a shared bottleneck representation, that may ensure seamless interaction between modalities and may also preserve modality-specific characteristics.Docket No. SYP354615WO02

[0053] Thus, the electronic device 102 may detect anomaly events such as violence and nudity accurately. The electronic device 102 may address imbalanced modality information issues and effectively facilitate multi-modal interaction by dynamic selection of relevant features (for example, audio features) with corresponding visual features. Additionally, the electronic device 102 may determine hierarchical relationships within normal and abnormal representations, which may improve the accuracy of differentiation between the normal and abnormal features. In an example of a security system installed in a public space, such as an airport, the electronic device 102 may detect anomaly events like violence and nudity by processing the multimedia content received from the security system. For instance, if someone gets involved in a physical altercation or attempts to expose themselves, the electronic device 102 may promptly identify and alert the security personnel. Moreover, the electronic device 102 may address imbalanced modality information issues. For example, an audio input may be crucial for detection of a potential threat, such as, threatful remarks from a person. The electronic device 102 may select the relevant audio features and combine them with corresponding visual features to, for example, analyze body language or suspicious movements. Such a comprehensive approach may ensure that no vital information is overlooked, which may enhance the overall effectiveness of the security system. Additionally, the electronic device 102 may determine the hierarchical relationships within the normal and abnormal representations. For example, the electronic device 102s may learn and recognize patterns of normal behavior, such as, people walking or talking, and distinguish them from abnormal behavior, such as, someone running or acting erratically. Based on the determination of the hierarchical structure of such representations, an accuracy of the electronic device 102 may increase. For example, the electronic device 102 may be able to more accuratelyDocket No. SYP354615WO02 separate the normal and abnormal features, reduce false alarms, and improve overall security measures of the security system.

[0054] FIG.4A and FIG.4B collectively illustrate an exemplary architecture of a model for event-based multimedia segment classification from cross-modal features of multimedia content, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG.4A and FIG. 4B are explained in conjunction with elements from FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3. With reference to FIG.4A and FIG.4B, there is shown the exemplary architecture of a model 400 for event-based multimedia segment classification from cross-modal features of multimedia content.

[0055] The model 400 may include a visual encoder 404, an FC layer 406, visual features 410, an audio encoder 414, audio features 416, a prefix-tuned bottleneck attention 418, a modulation model 420, a cross-modal fusion adapter 408, cross-modal aware features 422, a hyperbolic space conversion 424, a Lorentz linear transformation and enhancement model 426, a Leaky Relu 428, a Softmax 430, a hyperbolic classifier 432, and an output 434 (for example, anomaly or normal). The video segments 402 and audio segments 412 may be provided as input to the bottleneck attention model 112. The video segment 402 may include images data, video data, moving pictures, and the like. The audio segments 412 may include voiceover narration, sound effects, music tracks, and the like. The video frames may include a set of “N” videos and corresponding ground- truth video-level labels, as per expressions (1) and (2), as follows: ^^^^ = {^^^^ ^^^^^^^^}^^^^=1 (4)^^^^ = {^^^ ^^^^^^^^^}^^^^=1 ^ {1,0} (5)where ^^^^ may represent the set of “N” videos; and ^^^^ may represent ground-truth video-level labels, wherein ^^^^^^^^=1 may indicate an abnormal event in the set of multimedia segments 110, while ^^^^^^^^=0 may indicate an absence of theDocket No. SYP354615WO02 abnormal event. The abnormal event or anomalous event may refer to an event or behavior that deviates significantly from the expected or normal patterns in the multimedia content. Anomalous events may be typically rare occurrences that differ from the normal activities or behaviors captured in the multimedia content.

[0056] The abnormal events may include, for example, violence and nudity, within the videos determined based on a weakly supervised manner. Each video feature may be represented as ^^^^^^^^and initially divided into 16-frame based T non-overlapping multi-modalsegments (^^^^ = {^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ,^^^^^^^^ }^^^^^^^^=1 ), which may be processed by a pre-trained CNN network toextract thefeatures ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ∈ ℝ ^^^^ 410 and audio features 416 ^^^^^^^^ ∈ℝ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, where ^^^^^^^^and ^^^^^^^^may represent the feature dimensions of video and audio respectively. The embodiments of the present disclosure may not be limited to only visual and audio features. Here, ^^^^^^^^^^^^and ^^^^^^^^^^^^denote the video features 410 and the audio features 416, respectively,forwarded to the bottleneck attention model 112.

[0057] The visual encoder 404 may extract the visual features 410 from images or video frames received as input (for example, a video segment 402). The visual encoder 404 may analyze the video segment 402 and encode it into a compressed format, that may reduce the amount of data required to represent the image with a preservation of important visual details. The visual encoder 404 may employ techniques, such as, color space conversion, spatial and temporal compression, and quantization to achieve efficient video encoding. The encoded data may then be stored, transmitted, or further processed. The audio encoder 414 may extract the audio features 416 from audio input (for example, an audio segment 412). The audio encoder 414 may employ techniques, such as, sampling, quantization, and compression to achieve efficient audio encoding.Docket No. SYP354615WO02

[0058] The FC layer 406 may be used as a last layer in a neural network architecture, which may be fed with an output from a previous layer to produce a final output or prediction. Each neuron in the fully connected layer may receive inputs from all the neurons in the previous layer and apply a set of weights and biases to those inputs. The set of weights and biases may be learned during a training phase of the neural network. The training phase may allow the neural network to adapt and make accurate predictions. The FC layer 406 may perform a linear transformation on its input, followed by an application of an activation function. The activation function may introduce a non-linearity into the neural network, that may enable the neural network to learn complex patterns and relationships in the data.

[0059] The set of multimedia segments 110 may be passed through the cross-modal fusion adapter 408. The cross-modal fusion adapter (CFA) 408 may include the prefix- tuned bottleneck attention 418. The prefix-tuned bottleneck attention 418 may include a cross-modal multi-head attention model 436, a normalization (norm) layer 438, the FC layer 406, an FC down layer 440, Gaussian Error Linear Unit (GELU) 442, an FC up layer 444. The CFA model 408 may include a prefix-tuned bottleneck attention 418 and modulation model 420. The prefix-tuned bottleneck attention 418 helps in efficient multi- modal interaction between the audio and visual modalities. The modulation model 420 may dynamically regulate the contribution of each modality during the fusion process, based on the importance of the audio features 416 with respect to the visual features 410. The prefix-tuning bottleneck attention model 418 may incorporate a prior knowledge into a feature transformation process based on a combination of the learned representation with initialized parameters through the prefix-tuning operation.

[0060] The feature transformation process may include a concatenation of the first features (keys K) associated with the first modality (for example, the visual features ^^^^^^^^410)Docket No. SYP354615WO02 and the second features (values V) obtained from the second modality (for example, the audio features ^^^^^^^^416) with prefixes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^, that may result in prefix-tuned keys ^^^^^^^^and values ^^^^^^^^, respectively. The parameters ^^^^^^^^and ^^^^^^^^may be initialized as zero matrices with dimensions of ℝ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, where B, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^may represent a batch size, audio feature dimensions,respectively. The prefix-tunes keys ^^^^^^^^and values ^^^^^^^^along with query attributes Q based on the first features, that is visual features ^^^^^^^^410, may be then passed on to the cross-modal multi-head attention model 436. This cross-modal multi-head attention model 436 may enable an interaction between the prefix-tuned features of the audio and visual modalities, such that each modality’s relevant information selectively and contextually preserved. In this process, attention scores (for example, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^) may be determined based on the query attributes, the prefix-tuned keys and the prefix- tuned values. The mathematical formulation of the cross-modal multi-head attention model 436 function (for example, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^) can be formulated as: ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ where ^^^^ may

[0061] The attention scores ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^may be subsequently passed to the bottleneck adapter model. The bottleneck adapter model may ensure a smooth interaction between modalities based on a preservation of modality-specific characteristics. It comprises down-scaled FC layers (for example, the FC down layer, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^440) followed by the Gaussian Error Linear Unit (GELU) 442 activation (that is, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^) and the up-scaled FC layers (that is, ^^^^^^^^^^^^444). The output of the bottleneck adaptor model can be formulated as: ^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^))) (7)Docket No. SYP354615WO02

[0062] Here, the GELU 442 activation function may introduce non-linearity, that may allow intricate feature transformations and ensure that the adapter model effectively adjusts input features to the shared bottleneck representation.

[0063] The CFA model 408 includes the modulation model 420. The CFA model 408 may include modulation factors that dynamically adjust an impact of individual modalities based on an importance of the audio features 416 relative to the visual modality. The modulation model 420 may be a mechanism that may be facilitated by a learnable modulation function that operates on the audio features ^^^^^^^^416 to select relevant audio features 416 that are important to visual modalities. The modulated features ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^may be defined as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^^^^^^^) = ^^^^ (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.^^^^^^^^) (8)where σ may represent the sigmoid activation, while Wmodmay represent the weights associated with the modulation function. The sigmoid activation function may ensure that modulation factors range between 0 and 1, which may regulate the degree of modulation applied to the fused representation.

[0064] Further, a fusion and refinement process may be used, wherein the modulated features may be fused with an output of the prefix-tuned bottleneck attention 418. The fused representation may then be refined through the FC layer 406. This operation can be expressed mathematically as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^ + (^^^^^^^^ +�^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^�) (9)

[0065] The modulation model 420 (e.g., fMF()) may modify the output of the prefix-tuned attributes based on a significance of the audio features 416 with respect to the visual modality. The fusion and refinement process may be performed based on the bottleneck adapter model. The final fused representation (for example, cross-modal fused features (such as, the cross-modal aware features 422)) may capture the most relevant informationDocket No. SYP354615WO02 from both modalities (for example, the visual features 410 and the audio features 416), that may simultaneously reduce noise and preserve the modality-specific characteristics. The CFA model 408 may learn multi-modal interactions effectively. The CFA model 408 may determine the cross-modal aware features 422, which may be converted into a hyperbolic space by an operation such as, the hyperbolic space conversion 424.

[0066] A hyperbolic graph convolution network may be based on a new attention mechanism for example, HLGAtt. The HLGAtt may use a hyperbolic Lorentz graph attention mechanism that learns layer wise curvature parameters to capture a hierarchical structure of an input graph, and thereby enhance the hierarchical relationship between normal and abnormal representations compared to existing graph-based or transformer- based approaches. The hyperbolic space conversion 424 may be executed to convert the cross-modal aware features 422 into the hyperbolic space and then the Lorentz linear transformation and enhancement model 426 may be executed on the converted features on parallel nodes.

[0067] Initially, the cross-modal aware features 422 may be fused into the hyperbolic space using an exponential function. As a result, the converted fused features map maybe obtained for example, ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ ∈ ℝ ^^^2^^^^^^^^, wherein T may denote a number of segments and^^^^^^^^may represent the hyperbolic dimension. The hyperbolic graph attention mechanism may utilize a parallel branch process to learn different features and patterns in respective branches for prediction tasks. The converted hyperbolic feature maps on two parallel branches, for example, a node A and a node B, to learn specific patterns from the input feature maps. The separation of the branches (for example, the node A and the node B) may ensure that features with similar characteristics are directed to the respective nodes (for example, the node A and the node B). The branches may include the Lorentz Linear Transformation and enhancement model 426. This may allow each branch to learn uniqueDocket No. SYP354615WO02 properties of normal and abnormal features in the set of multimedia segments 110, that may enable more precise discrimination between them.

[0068] The converted hyperbolic feature maps may be passed through the Lorentzian linear transformation and enhancement model 426 in each node. Here, the Lorentzian linear transformation for feature transformation and its transformed temporal and spatial features may be further enhanced using an enhancement method, based on the enhanced temporal component 450 (for example, an enhanced feature vector). An adjacency matrix^^^^ ∈ ℝ^^^^^^^^^^^^ may be established to capture hyperbolic feature similarities in Lorentzian linearHere, each entry Aij can be calculated as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^�^^^^^^^^,^^^^ ,^^^^^^^^,^^^^� = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(exp�−^^^^^^^^�^^^^^^^^,^^^^ ,^^^^^^^^,^^^^ (10)where fsimevaluate a resemblance of snippets i and j based on their Lorentzian intrinsic distance dL. The exponential and Softmax functions 430 may be employed to maintain non-negativity and restrict the values of A within a range of [0,1]. The hyperbolic Lorentz linear (that is, fHL()) may be followed by neighborhood hyperbolic aggregation operation for feature transformation. The transformed hyperbolic features of the ithsnippet at the layer l (that is, ^^^^^^^^^^^^) can be expressed as: ^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^ ∑^^^^^^^^=1 ^^^^^^^^,^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^^^^^^^^^^−^,^^^1^)^^^^^(11) where, ^^^^

[0069] To enhance the transformed features z further, the transformed features may be processed based on temporal and spatial information, using a temporal component 446 and a temporal enhancement 448. The initial components of the input vector z[0] may signify the temporal aspect within hyperbolic space. This component may be processed via a sigmoid activation function followed by exponential scaling operation 452 and shiftingDocket No. SYP354615WO02 operations. Through this procedure, temporal features, based on temporal components 446 (i.e., TnodeA and TnodeB) may be computed for both node A and node B as: ^^^^ = ^ ( ^^^^^[ ]) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 0 × ^^^^ + 1.1 (12A)^^^^ ^^^^ = ^^^^(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[0]) × ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ + 1.1 (12B)where ^^^^ may be a trainable parameter. The remaining elements of input vector z can be considered as the spatial features for the node A and the node B, which may be given by: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[1],^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[2], … ,^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[^^^^]] (13A)^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[1],^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[2], … ,^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[^^^^]] (13B)

[0070] These features may encapsulate the intricate spatial features in hyperbolic space, which may be critical to capture the hierarchical structure and relationships within the graph. To ensure the alignment of spatial components with the hyperbolic model, a scaling operation 452, referred to as ^^^^ may be computed. A scaling factor in the scaling operation 452 may take into account the temporal and spatial complexities of each node. It may ensure that the spatial components may be appropriately scaled to fit within the hyperbolic space. The scaled features for the node A and the node B may be given by: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^2−1^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^=^^^^∑^^^^ ^^^^ 2(14A) (14B)

[0071] The temporalspatial components 456 may be concatenated, to result in enhanced feature vectors (that is, ^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^). Mathematically, the concatenation process can be expressed as: ^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ �^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^] (15A)^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ �^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^] (15B)

[0072] Thethrough Leaky ReLU 428 activation and Softmax 430 normalization operations to introduce non-linearityDocket No. SYP354615WO02 and ensure standardization across the enhanced feature maps. This ensures that distinct patterns, that may represent normal and abnormal data, may be learned at each node. By doing so, different sets of features may be learned from those processed by the other node (i.e., the node B). Finally, the enhanced feature maps from node A and node B are processed via matrix multiplication to compute attention, followed by a ReLU activation to generate the output feature maps. This outcome of the proposed HLGAtt model may be formulated as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^�^^^^^^ .^^�^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ) (16)

[0073] Theinclude the hyperbolic classifier 432 that may take the output of the HLGAtt model as input and predict the confidence scores for normal and abnormal events. The final score can be represented as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^−^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^^^^^^^) (17)

[0074] To train thelearning (MIL)- based learning objective may be employed. The mean value of top k-max predictive scores within a multimedia segment may be calculated. High-scoring positive predictions may indicate the presence of abnormal events, while the k-max negative scores may represent normal samples. This learning objective function can be formulated as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^= 1 ^^^^∑^^^^^^^^=1 −^^^^^^^^ . log (�^^�^^^�^^�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^^) (18)where,�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^^ mayof the k-max scores in the multimedia content,and Yi may represent the binary video-level label.

[0078] It should be noted that the scenario 500 of FIG.5 is for exemplary purpose and should not be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0079] FIG.6 is a flowchart that illustrates operations of an exemplary method for event- based multimedia segment classification based on cross-modal fusion adaptor, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG.6 is described in conjunction with elements from FIG.1, FIG, 2, FIG.3, FIG.4A, FIG.4B, and FIG.5. With reference to FIG. 6, there is shown a flowchart 600. The exemplary method of the flowchart 600 may be executed by any computing system, for example, by the electronic device 102 of FIG.1. The exemplary method of the flowchart 600 may start at 602 and proceed to 604.

[0080] At 604, the multimedia content including the set of multimedia segments 110 associated with the plurality of modalities may be received. The circuitry 202 may be configured to receive the multimedia content including the set of multimedia segments 110 associated with the plurality of modalities. The multimedia content may include for example video frames, Virtual Reality (VR) segments, and the like. The video frames may include the set of videos (N) and corresponding ground-truth video-level labels. The abnormal event or anomalous event refers to the event or behavior that deviates significantly from the expected or normal patterns in the video segments 402. Anomalous events may typically be rare occurrences that differ from the regular activities or behaviors captured in the multimedia content. The reception of the multimedia content is described further, for example, in FIG.3, FIG.4A, and FIG.4B.

[0081] At 606, the set of features associated with the received multimedia content may be determined for each modality of the plurality of modalities, based on the encoder model. The circuitry 202 may be configured to determine, for each modality of the plurality of modalities, the set of features associated with the received multimedia content, based on the encoder model. The set of features may be, for example, the first features and theDocket No. SYP354615WO02 second features. The first features may be associated with the first modality. The query attributes may be determined based on the first features. The second features may be associated with the second modality. The prefix-tuned attributes may be determined based on the second features of the second modality. The prefix-tuned attributes may correspond to the first set of prefix-tuned keys including the first prefixes and keys of the key-value pair or the second set of prefix-tuned values including the second prefixes and values of the key-value pair.

[0082] The prefix-tuned bottleneck attention mechanism may integrate existing knowledge into the process of transforming features. This may be done based on a merger of the representations that have been learned with initial parameters, which include both query and prefix-tuned attributes, through the operation prefix-tuning. The query attributes may encompass the visual features 410, while the prefix-tuned attributes may be linked to either a set of prefix-tuned keys comprising initial prefixes and the keys from the key-value pair or the set of prefix-tuned values that include the secondary prefixes and the values from the key-value pair. This mechanism may concatenate the keys (K), and values (V) derived from the audio features FA416 with the prefixes Pkand Pv, creating the prefix- tuned keys Kp and values Vp. Initially, these prefix-tuned keys Kp and values Vp may be set up as zero matrices with the dimensions (ℝ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^), where B, DA, and Dp may denote the batch size, the dimension of the audioand the dimension of the prefix, respectively. These initialized keys and values, along with the query Q, that is, the visual features FV410, may be then fed into the cross-modal multi-head attention model. This model ascertains the features that result from the fusion of different modalities. The determination of the set of features is described further, for example, in FIG.3, FIG.4A, and FIG.4B.Docket No. SYP354615WO02

[0083] At 608, the bottleneck attention model 112 may be applied on the determined set of features. The circuitry 202 may be configured to apply the bottleneck attention model 112 on the determined set of features. The features may correspond to different modalities of the set of multimedia segments 110. The bottleneck attention model 112 may include various models such as an encoding model, a prefix-tuned bottleneck attention model, a modulation model, a cross-modal fusion adapter model (that may output the cross-modal aware features 422), a model for the hyperbolic space conversion 424, a model for the Lorentz linear transformation and enhancement model 426, a model for the leaky Relu 428, a model for the Softmax 430, a model for the hyperbolic classifier 432, and the like. The encoding model may include a visual encoding model and an audio encoding model. The visual encoding model may extract the visual features 410 and the audio encoding model may extract the audio features 416. The prefix-tuned bottleneck attention model may include a cross-modal multi-head attention. The prefix-tuned keys and values along with the query may be passed on to the cross-modal multi-head attention model. The cross-modal multi-head attention model may enable the interaction between the prefix- tuned features of the audio and visual modalities, that may allow selective and contextual focus on each modality relevant information. The attention score may be determined based on the queries, prefixed tuned keys and values. The modulation model 420 may dynamically regulate the contribution of each modality during the fusion process, based on determination of importance of the audio features 416 with respect to the visual modality. The CFA model 408 may determine the cross-modal aware features 422, which may be converted into a hyperbolic space by an operation such as, the hyperbolic space conversion 424. The hyperbolic Lorentzian graph attention (HL-GAtt) model may be applied on the features converted into the hyperbolic space, to capture hierarchical visual and audio representations. The determined cross-modal aware features 422 may beDocket No. SYP354615WO02 segregated into the set of nodes. The enhanced feature vector may be determined based on the HL-GAtt model. The hyperbolic classifier 432 may be applied on the segregated cross-modal fused features. The application of the bottleneck attention model is described further, for example, in FIG.3, FIG.4A, and FIG.4B.

[0084] At 610, the cross-modal fused features (such as, the cross-modal aware features 422) may be determined for the plurality of modalities associated with the received multimedia content, based on the application of the bottleneck attention model 112. The circuitry 202 may be configured to determine cross-modal fused features for the plurality of modalities associated with the received multimedia content, based on the application of the bottleneck attention model 112. The determination of the cross-modal fused features (such as, the cross-modal aware features 422) may be further based on the application of the bottleneck adapter model. The attention score may be determined based on the application of the cross-modal multi-head attention model. The bottleneck adapter model may be applied on the determined attention score. Through the fusion and refinement process, the final fused representation (for example, cross-modal aware features 422) may be generated to capture the most relevant information from both modalities, simultaneously based on a reduced noise and preservation of the modality-specific characteristics. The determination of the cross-modal fused features is described further, for example, in FIG.3, FIG.4A, and FIG.4B.

[0085] At 612, the determined cross-modal fused features (such as, the cross-modal aware features 422) may be segregated into the set of nodes based on the one or more events associated with the received multimedia content. The circuitry 202 may be configured to segregate the determined cross-modal fused features into the set of nodes. The set of nodes may include Lorentz Linear Transformation and Enhancement model 426. Each node of the set of nodes may correspond to various modalities. For example,Docket No. SYP354615WO02 the various modalities may correspond to the at least one of image frames, video data, or moving pictures. One of the nodes may include the Leaky Relu 428 and the Softmax function 430. The Leaky ReLU 428 and the Softmax 430 may be activation functions that are used to introduce non-linearity into a neural network and make it capable of learning complex patterns and relationships. The Leaky ReLU 428 may allow a small, non-zero gradient for negative input values, which helps to prevent a vanishing gradient problem. Mathematically, the Leaky ReLU 428 function is defined as: F(x) = max (ax, x) (19) where ‘x’ may represent the input to a neuron, and ‘a’ may be a small positive constant that determines a slope of the function for negative input values.

[0086] The Softmax 430 may be an activation function that is commonly used in the output layer of the neural network for multi-class classification problems. It converts the raw output values of the network into a probability distribution over the classes. The Softmax function 430 takes the vector of real numbers as input and outputs the vector of values between 0 and 1, where the sum of all the values is equal to 1. Mathematically, the Softmax function 430 is defined as: f(x_i) = exp(x_i) / sum(exp(x_j)) (20) where ‘x_i’ may represent the input value for the i-th class, and ‘exp’ denotes the exponential function. The Softmax function 430 may amplify differences between the input values, that may make the network more confident in its predictions. The segregation of the cross-modal fused features is described further, for example, in FIG.3, FIG.4A, and FIG, 4B.

[0087] At 614, the classifier model 114 may be applied on the segregated cross-modal fused features. The circuitry 202 may be configured to apply the classifier model 114 on the segregated cross-modal fused features. The classifier model 114 may correspond toDocket No. SYP354615WO02 the hyperbolic classifier 432. The hyperbolic classifier 432 may take the output of the HLGAtt model as the input and predict the confidence scores for normal and abnormal events. The final score can be represented as: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(^^^^^^^^) (21)

[0088] In order toobjective may be adopted, which may calculate a mean value of the top k−max predictive scores within the set of multimedia segments 110. The high-scoring positive predictions may indicate the presence of abnormal events, while the k−max negative scores may represent normal samples. This learning objective function can be formulated as: ^^^^ 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^= ^^^^∑^^^^^^^^=^^^^ −^^^^^^^^ . ^^^^^^^^^^^^(�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^�^^�^^^�^^^) (22)

[0089] At 616, each multimedia segment of the set of multimedia segments 110 may be classified into the one or more events, based on the application of the classifier model 114. The circuitry 202 may be configured to classify each multimedia segment of the set of multimedia segments 110 into the one or more events, based on the application of the classifier model 114. The video may be classified as normal if no anomalous event is detected. In contrast, the video may be classified as an anomaly if any form of abnormal events, such as violence or nudity, is present in the video. The WS-VAD methods usually employ the MIL for model training. Here, a regular video may be seen as a negative bag with no anomalous segments, while the anomalous video is viewed as positive bag with one or more anomalous segments. The anomaly evaluation function may be trained by optimizing the MIL loss to ensure that positive bag includes a higher anomaly value than negative (normal) bag. Control may pass to end.
