What is multimodal-perceiver?
The multimodal-perceiver is a revolutionary transformer-based model designed for processing multiple types of input data simultaneously. It's specifically trained on the Kinetics-700-2020 dataset for auto-encoding videos that combine images, audio, and class labels. The model's unique architecture allows it to handle various input modalities while maintaining efficient computational requirements through its innovative attention mechanism.
Implementation Details
The model employs a distinctive approach to attention mechanisms by operating on a fixed-size set of latent vectors (typically 256 or 512) rather than directly on input data. This architecture processes inputs through cross-attention with the latents, making computational requirements independent of input size. The model can handle 16 frames at 224x224 resolution, processing 50k 4x4 patches, 30k audio samples, and class label information simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this model unique?
The model's key innovation lies in its ability to process multiple input modalities while maintaining constant computational complexity, regardless of input size. This is achieved through its unique latent vector-based attention mechanism.
Q: What are the recommended use cases?
The model is ideal for multimodal autoencoding tasks, particularly involving video processing with accompanying audio and classification requirements. It can also be used as a video classifier by masking the class label during evaluation.
