MERLIN stands for Multimodal Embedding Refinement via LLM-based Iterative Navigation. It is a system designed to help find videos that match what users are looking for in large collections of multimedia content.

As more videos and other media are created, it has become harder to find the right ones quickly. Many current systems try to connect text and video, but they often miss what users actually want. MERLIN solves this issue by using advanced technology to improve the way user requests are matched with available videos.

This system works without needing additional training. It uses Large Language Models to learn from feedback given by users. This means that as users ask questions, MERLIN adjusts itself to make sure it retrieves videos that are more relevant to what users are searching for.

Testing shows that MERLIN does a better job at finding the right videos compared to existing systems. It helps make the search for multimedia content more effective and user-friendly.
