Video Vision Transformer (ViViT)

Overview

The Vivit model was proposed in ViViT: A Video Vision Transformer by Anurag Arnab, Mostafa Dehghani, Georg Heigold, Chen Sun, Mario Lučić, Cordelia Schmid. The paper proposes one of the first successful pure-transformer based set of models for video understanding.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

We present pure-transformer based models for video classification, drawing upon the recent success of such models in image classification. Our model extracts spatio-temporal tokens from the input video, which are then encoded by a series of transformer layers. In order to handle the long sequences of tokens encountered in video, we propose several, efficient variants of our model which factorise the spatial- and temporal-dimensions of the input. Although transformer-based models are known to only be effective when large training datasets are available, we show how we can effectively regularise the model during training and leverage pretrained image models to be able to train on comparatively small datasets. We conduct thorough ablation studies, and achieve state-of-the-art results on multiple video classification benchmarks including Kinetics 400 and 600, Epic Kitchens, Something-Something v2 and Moments in Time, outperforming prior methods based on deep 3D convolutional networks.

This model was contributed by jegormeister. The original code (written in JAX) can be found here.

Using Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA)

PyTorch includes a native scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) operator as part of torch.nn.functional. This function encompasses several implementations that can be applied depending on the inputs and the hardware in use. See the official documentation or the GPU Inference page for more information.

SDPA is used by default for torch>=2.1.1 when an implementation is available, but you may also set attn_implementation="sdpa" in from_pretrained() to explicitly request SDPA to be used.

from transformers import VivitModel
model = VivitModel.from_pretrained("google/vivit-b-16x2-kinetics400", attn_implementation="sdpa", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
...

For the best speedups, we recommend loading the model in half-precision (e.g. torch.float16 or torch.bfloat16).

On a local benchmark (A100-40GB, PyTorch 2.3.0, OS Ubuntu 22.04) with float32 and google/vivit-b-16x2-kinetics400 model, we saw the following speedups during inference.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a VivitModel. It is used to instantiate a ViViT model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the ViViT google/vivit-b-16x2-kinetics400 architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

>>> from transformers import VivitConfig, VivitModel

>>> # Initializing a ViViT google/vivit-b-16x2-kinetics400 style configuration
>>> configuration = VivitConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the google/vivit-b-16x2-kinetics400 style configuration
>>> model = VivitModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

VivitModel

class transformers.VivitModel

( config add_pooling_layer = True )

Parameters

config (VivitConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

The bare ViViT Transformer model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top. This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

pixel_values (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, num_frames, num_channels, height, width)) — Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using VivitImageProcessor. See VivitImageProcessor.preprocess() for details.
head_mask (torch.FloatTensor of shape (num_heads,) or (num_layers, num_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:
- 1 indicates the head is not masked,
- 0 indicates the head is masked.
output_attentions (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.
output_hidden_states (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.
interpolate_pos_encoding (bool, optional, False) — Whether to interpolate the pre-trained position encodings.
return_dict (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPooling or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

A transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPooling or a tuple of torch.FloatTensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (VivitConfig) and inputs.

last_hidden_state (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.
pooler_output (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, hidden_size)) — Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) after further processing through the layers used for the auxiliary pretraining task. E.g. for BERT-family of models, this returns the classification token after processing through a linear layer and a tanh activation function. The linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.
hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

attentions (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length).

Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

The VivitModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Parameters

config (VivitConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

ViViT Transformer model with a video classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the final hidden state of the [CLS] token) e.g. for Kinetics-400.

Note that it’s possible to fine-tune ViT on higher resolution images than the ones it has been trained on, by setting interpolate_pos_encoding to True in the forward of the model. This will interpolate the pre-trained position embeddings to the higher resolution.

This model is a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.
