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:
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.
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:

 # this is a custom function that returns the visual embeddings given the image path

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:

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.

Parameters 
config (VisualBertConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model.

a softmax) e.g. for VCR tasks.
