SOTA 是“State Of The Art”的缩写,意思是“最先进的”“当前最佳水平”。
在 AI 领域中,例如在多模态的研究中,(c)类方法虽然是 SOTA,但很多想法都受到(d)类的代表作 ViLT 启发。ViLT 把 VE 彻底换成简单的 patch projection 模块,借鉴了 ViT 的思维,其出发点是对视觉数据处理方式的创新。
以往的许多研究通过使用各种方法对视频数据进行生成建模,包括循环网络、生成对抗网络、自回归变换器和扩散模型。但这些工作通常存在一些局限性,而 Sora 作为一个视觉数据的通用模型,可以生成持续时间、纵横比和分辨率各异的视频和图像,长达一分钟的高清视频。
Much prior work has studied generative modeling of video data using a variety of methods,including recurrent networks,generative adversarial networks,autoregressive transformers,and diffusion models.These works often focus on a narrow category of visual data,on shorter videos,or on videos of a fixed size.Sora is a generalist model of visual data—it can generate videos and images spanning diverse durations,aspect ratios and resolutions,up to a full minute of high definition video.以往的许多研究通过使用各种方法对视频数据进行生成建模,包括循环网络、生成对抗网络、自回归变换器和扩散模型。这些工作通常关注于视觉数据的狭窄类别、较短视频或固定大小的视频。Sora是一个视觉数据的通用模型——它可以生成持续时间、纵横比和分辨率各异的视频和图像,长达一分钟的高清视频。[heading2]Turning visual data into patches
(c)类方法虽然是SOTA,但是很多想法都受到(d)类的代表作ViLT启发,因此在介绍SOTA之前,我们先详细看看(d)类的ViLT是怎么做的。本节开头的VE,TE和MI的分类方法就是来源于ViLT,ViLT的出发点是把VE彻底换成简单的patch projection模块,借鉴了ViT的思维,如下所示Region Feature。就是传统的CNN backbond+Det head的方式,本质做检测,然后用ROI Align把对应的feature抽出来作为vision token,计算量比较大Grid Feature。只过CNN backbond,把最后的feature作为vision token,计算量也很大Patch Projection。受到ViT启发,上来就过个简单的conv把$$32\times 32$$的像素区域变成一个patch,然后就直接作为vision token,这样推理速度奇快无比网络结构整体网络架构图如下所示,典型(d)类没跑了跟ViT非常像,是个encoder结构。Text经过embedding之后是$$L\times H$$,Image经过embedding之后是$$N\times H$$。Text和Image前面各有一个CLS token,因此总的输入尺寸是$$(L+H+2)\times H$$注意这里的PE(Position Encoding)有两部分首先是0和1分别编码text部分和image部分其次是在text内和image内的常规的位置编码Loss设计训练loss相对比较复杂,得好好说说,包含3个Image Text Matching(ITM)-类似于constrastive los,从text的CLS token出来
