Databricks - Advanced video understanding

Summary: This integration combines TwelveLabs’ Embed API with Databricks Mosaic AI Vector Search to create advanced video understanding applications. It transforms video content into multimodal embeddings that capture the relationships between visual expressions, body language, spoken words, and overall context, enabling powerful similarity search and recommendation systems.
Description: Integrating TwelveLabs with Databricks Mosaic AI addresses key challenges in video AI, such as efficient processing of large-scale video datasets and accurate multimodal content representation. The process involves these main steps:
Step-by-step guide: Our blog post, Mastering Multimodal AI: Advanced Video Understanding with TwelveLabs + Databricks Mosaic AI, guides you through setting up the environment, generating embeddings, and implementing the similarity search and recommendation functionalities.
This section describes how you can use the TwelveLabs Python SDK to create embeddings. The integration involves creating two types of embeddings:
The get_video_embeddings function creates a Pandas UDF to generate multimodal embeddings using TwelveLabs Embed API:
For details on creating video embeddings, see the Create video embeddings page.
The get_text_embedding function generates text embeddings:
For details on creating video embeddings, see the Create text embeddings page.
The similarity_search function generates an embedding for a text query, and uses the Mosaic AI Vector Search index to find similar videos:
The get_video_recommendations takes a video ID and the number of recommendations to return as parameters and performs a similarity search to find the most similar videos.
