VisualBERT

##
Overview

The VisualBERT model was proposed in VisualBERT: A Simple and Performant Baseline for Vision and Language by Liunian Harold Li, Mark Yatskar, Da Yin, Cho-Jui Hsieh, Kai-Wei Chang. VisualBERT is a neural network trained on a variety of (image, text) pairs.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

We propose VisualBERT, a simple and flexible framework for modeling a broad range of vision-and-language tasks. VisualBERT consists of a stack of Transformer layers that implicitly align elements of an input text and regions in an associated input image with self-attention. We further propose two visually-grounded language model objectives for pre-training VisualBERT on image caption data. Experiments on four vision-and-language tasks including VQA, VCR, NLVR2, and Flickr30K show that VisualBERT outperforms or rivals with state-of-the-art models while being significantly simpler. Further analysis demonstrates that VisualBERT can ground elements of language to image regions without any explicit supervision and is even sensitive to syntactic relationships, tracking, for example, associations between verbs and image regions corresponding to their arguments.

Tips:

1. Most of the checkpoints provided work with the VisualBertForPreTraining configuration. Other checkpoints provided are the fine-tuned checkpoints for down-stream tasks - VQA (‘visualbert-vqa’), VCR (‘visualbert-vcr’), NLVR2 (‘visualbert-nlvr2’). Hence, if you are not working on these downstream tasks, it is recommended that you use the pretrained checkpoints.

2. For the VCR task, the authors use a fine-tuned detector for generating visual embeddings, for all the checkpoints. We do not provide the detector and its weights as a part of the package, but it will be available in the research projects, and the states can be loaded directly into the detector provided.

##
Usage

VisualBERT is a multi-modal vision and language model. It can be used for visual question answering, multiple choice, visual reasoning and region-to-phrase correspondence tasks. VisualBERT uses a BERT-like transformer to prepare embeddings for image-text pairs. Both the text and visual features are then projected to a latent space with identical dimension.

To feed images to the model, each image is passed through a pre-trained object detector and the regions and the bounding boxes are extracted. The authors use the features generated after passing these regions through a pre-trained CNN like ResNet as visual embeddings. They also add absolute position embeddings, and feed the resulting sequence of vectors to a standard BERT model. The text input is concatenated in the front of the visual embeddings in the embedding layer, and is expected to be bound by [CLS] and a [SEP] tokens, as in BERT. The segment IDs must also be set appropriately for the textual and visual parts.

The BertTokenizer is used to encode the text. A custom detector/image processor must be used to get the visual embeddings. The following example notebooks show how to use VisualBERT with Detectron-like models:

- VisualBERT VQA demo notebook : This notebook contains an example on VisualBERT VQA.

- Generate Embeddings for VisualBERT (Colab Notebook) : This notebook contains an example on how to generate visual embeddings.

The following example shows how to get the last hidden state using VisualBertModel:

    >>> import torch
    >>> from transformers import BertTokenizer, VisualBertModel

    >>> model = VisualBertModel.from_pretrained("uclanlp/visualbert-vqa-coco-pre")
    >>> tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")

    >>> inputs = tokenizer("What is the man eating?", return_tensors="pt")
    >>> # this is a custom function that returns the visual embeddings given the image path
    >>> visual_embeds = get_visual_embeddings(image_path)

    >>> visual_token_type_ids = torch.ones(visual_embeds.shape[:-1], dtype=torch.long)
    >>> visual_attention_mask = torch.ones(visual_embeds.shape[:-1], dtype=torch.float)
    >>> inputs.update(
    ...     {
    ...         "visual_embeds": visual_embeds,
    ...         "visual_token_type_ids": visual_token_type_ids,
    ...         "visual_attention_mask": visual_attention_mask,
    ...     }
    ... )
    >>> outputs = model(**inputs)
    >>> last_hidden_state = outputs.last_hidden_state

When set to `True`, the weights of the textual token type and position type embeddings are copied to the respective visual embedding layers.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a VisualBertModel. It is used to instantiate an VisualBERT 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 VisualBERT uclanlp/visualbert-vqa-coco-pre 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 VisualBertConfig, VisualBertModel

    >>> # Initializing a VisualBERT visualbert-vqa-coco-pre style configuration
    >>> configuration = VisualBertConfig.from_pretrained("uclanlp/visualbert-vqa-coco-pre")

    >>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the visualbert-vqa-coco-pre style configuration
    >>> model = VisualBertModel(configuration)

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

- 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.

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

The VisualBertModel 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.

Example:

    # Assumption: *get_visual_embeddings(image)* gets the visual embeddings of the image.
    from transformers import AutoTokenizer, VisualBertModel
    import torch

    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
    model = VisualBertModel.from_pretrained("uclanlp/visualbert-vqa-coco-pre")

    inputs = tokenizer("The capital of France is Paris.", return_tensors="pt")
    visual_embeds = get_visual_embeddings(image).unsqueeze(0)
    visual_token_type_ids = torch.ones(visual_embeds.shape[:-1], dtype=torch.long)
    visual_attention_mask = torch.ones(visual_embeds.shape[:-1], dtype=torch.float)

    inputs.update(
        {
            "visual_embeds": visual_embeds,
            "visual_token_type_ids": visual_token_type_ids,

( config )

Parameters

- config (VisualBertConfig) — 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.

VisualBert Model with a multiple choice classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output and a softmax) e.g. for VCR tasks.

This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also 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.
