Video-LLaVA

##
Overview

Video-LLaVa is an open-source multimodal LLM trained by fine-tuning LlamA/Vicuna on multimodal instruction-following data generated by Llava1.5 and VideChat. It is an auto-regressive language model, based on the transformer architecture. Video-LLaVa unifies visual representations to the language feature space, and enables an LLM to perform visual reasoning capabilities on both images and videos simultaneously.

The Video-LLaVA model was proposed in Video-LLaVA: Learning United Visual Representation by Alignment Before Projection by Bin Lin, Yang Ye, Bin Zhu, Jiaxi Cui, Munang Ning, Peng Jin, Li Yuan.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

The Large Vision-Language Model (LVLM) has enhanced the performance of various downstream tasks in visual-language understanding. Most existing approaches encode images and videos into separate feature spaces, which are then fed as inputs to large language models. However, due to the lack of unified tokenization for images and videos, namely misalignment before projection, it becomes challenging for a Large Language Model (LLM) to learn multi-modal interactions from several poor projection layers. In this work, we unify visual representation into the language feature space to advance the foundational LLM towards a unified LVLM. As a result, we establish a simple but robust LVLM baseline, Video-LLaVA, which learns from a mixed dataset of images and videos, mutually enhancing each other. Video-LLaVA achieves superior performances on a broad range of 9 image benchmarks across 5 image question-answering datasets and 4 image benchmark toolkits. Additionally, our Video-LLaVA also outperforms Video-ChatGPT by 5.8%, 9.9%, 18.6%, and 10.1% on MSRVTT, MSVD, TGIF, and ActivityNet, respectively. Notably, extensive experiments demonstrate that Video-LLaVA mutually benefits images and videos within a unified visual representation, outperforming models designed specifically for images or videos. We aim for this work to provide modest insights into the multi-modal inputs for the LLM

##
Usage tips:

- We advise users to use padding_side=“left” when computing batched generation as it leads to more accurate results. Simply make sure to call processor.tokenizer.padding_side = “left” before generating.

- Note the model has not been explicitly trained to process multiple images/videos in the same prompt, although this is technically possible, you may experience inaccurate results.

- Note that the video inputs should have exactly 8 frames at the input, since the models were trained in that setting.

This model was contributed by RaushanTurganbay. The original code can be found here.

##
Usage example

###
Single Media Mode

The model can accept both images and videos as input. Here’s an example code for inference in half-precision (`torch.float16`):

    import av
    import torch
    import numpy as np
    from transformers import VideoLlavaForConditionalGeneration, VideoLlavaProcessor

    def read_video_pyav(container, indices):
        '''
        Decode the video with PyAV decoder.
        Args:
            container (`av.container.input.InputContainer`): PyAV container.
            indices (`List[int]`): List of frame indices to decode.
        Returns:
            result (np.ndarray): np array of decoded frames of shape (num_frames, height, width, 3).
        '''
        frames = []
        container.seek(0)
        start_index = indices[0]
        end_index = indices[-1]
        for i, frame in enumerate(container.decode(video=0)):
            if i > end_index:
                break
            if i >= start_index and i in indices:
                frames.append(frame)
        return np.stack([x.to_ndarray(format="rgb24") for x in frames])

    # Load the model in half-precision
    model = VideoLlavaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("LanguageBind/Video-LLaVA-7B-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
    processor = VideoLlavaProcessor.from_pretrained("LanguageBind/Video-LLaVA-7B-hf")

    # Load the video as an np.arrau, sampling uniformly 8 frames
    video_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="raushan-testing-hf/videos-test", filename="sample_demo_1.mp4", repo_type="dataset")
    container = av.open(video_path)
    total_frames = container.streams.video[0].frames
    indices = np.arange(0, total_frames, total_frames / 8).astype(int)
    video = read_video_pyav(container, indices)

    # For better results, we recommend to prompt the model in the following format
    prompt = "USER: <video>Why is this funny? ASSISTANT:"
    inputs = processor(text=prompt, videos=video, return_tensors="pt")

    out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=60)
    processor.batch_decode(out, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=True)

For multiple turns conversation change the prompt format to:

    "USER: <video>What do you see in this video? ASSISTANT: A baby reading a book. USER: Why is the it funny? ASSISTANT:"

###
Mixed Media Mode

The model can also generate from an interleaved image-video inputs. However note, that it was not trained in interleaved image-video setting which might affect the performance. Below is an example usage for mixed media input, add the following lines to the above code snippet:

    from PIL import Image
    import requests

    # Generate from image and video mixed inputs
    # Load and image and write a new prompt
    url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
    image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
    prompt = "USER: <image> How many cats are there in the image? ASSISTANT: There are two cats. USER: <video>Why is this video funny? ASSISTANT:"

    inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, videos=clip, padding=True, return_tensors="pt")

    # Generate
    generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=50)
    processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=True)

##
Model optimization

###
Quantization using Bitsandbytes for memory efficiency

The model can be loaded in lower bits, significantly reducing memory burden while maintaining the performance of the original model. his allows for efficient deployment on resource-constrained cases.

First make sure to install bitsandbytes by running `pip install bitsandbytes` and to have access to a CUDA compatible GPU device. Load the quantized model by simply adding `BitsAndBytesConfig` as shown below:

    from transformers import VideoLlavaForConditionalGeneration, BitsAndBytesConfig

    # specify how to quantize the model
    quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
        load_in_4bit=True,
        bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
        bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.float16,
    )

    model = VideoLlavaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("LanguageBind/Video-LLaVA-7B-hf", quantization_config=quantization_config, device_map="auto")

###
Flash-Attention 2 to speed-up generation

Additionally, we can greatly speed-up model inference by using Flash Attention, which is a faster implementation of the attention mechanism used inside the model.

First, make sure to install the latest version of Flash Attention 2:

    pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation

Also, you should have a hardware that is compatible with Flash-Attention 2. Read more about it in the official documentation of the flash attention repository. FlashAttention-2 can only be used when a model is loaded in `torch.float16` or `torch.bfloat16`.

To load and run a model using Flash Attention-2, simply add `attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"` when loading the model as follows:

    from transformers import VideoLlavaForConditionalGeneration

    model = VideoLlavaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
        "LanguageBind/Video-LLaVA-7B-hf",
        torch_dtype=torch.float16,
        attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
    ).to(0)

Example:

    >>> from transformers import VideoLlavaForConditionalGeneration, VideoLlavaConfig, CLIPVisionConfig, LlamaConfig

    >>> # Initializing a CLIP-vision config
    >>> vision_config = CLIPVisionConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a Llama config
    >>> text_config = LlamaConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a VideoLlava video_llava-1.5-7b style configuration

`transformers.models.video_llava.modeling_video_llava.VideoLlavaCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  What are input IDs?

- pixel_values_images (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, image_size, image_size)) -- The tensors corresponding to the input images. Pixel values can be obtained using [AutoImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/pr_27412/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoImageProcessor). See [VideoLlavaImageProcessor.__call__()](/docs/transformers/pr_27412/en/model_doc/imagegpt#transformers.ImageGPTFeatureExtractor.__call__) for details ([]`LlavaProcessor`] uses VideoLlavaImageProcessor for processing images).
- pixel_values_videos (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_frames, num_channels, image_size, image_size)) -- The tensors corresponding to the input video. Pixel values can be obtained using [AutoImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/pr_27412/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoImageProcessor). See [VideoLlavaImageProcessor.__call__()](/docs/transformers/pr_27412/en/model_doc/imagegpt#transformers.ImageGPTFeatureExtractor.__call__) for details ([]`LlavaProcessor`] uses VideoLlavaImageProcessor for processing videos).
- attention_mask (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:
  - 1 for tokens that are not masked,
  - 0 for tokens that are masked.

  What are attention masks?

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see `past_key_values`).

  If you want to change padding behavior, you should read `modeling_opt._prepare_decoder_attention_mask` and modify to your needs. See diagram 1 in the paper for more information on the default strategy.

  - 1 indicates the head is not masked,
  - 0 indicates the head is masked.
- position_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`. What are position IDs?

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user can optionally input only the last `decoder_input_ids` (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, 1)` instead of all `decoder_input_ids` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.

- inputs_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, optional) — Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
- vision_feature_layer (`int`, optional, defaults to -2) — The index of the layer to select the vision feature.
- vision_feature_select_strategy (`str`, optional, defaults to `"default"`) — The feature selection strategy used to select the vision feature from the vision backbone. Can be one of `"default"` or `"full"`
- use_cache (`bool`, optional) — If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see `past_key_values`).
- 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.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

  Args — labels (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional): Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`.

Returns

The VideoLlavaForConditionalGeneration 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.
