🦩 Flamingo - Pytorch

Implementation of <a href="https://www.deepmind.com/blog/tackling-multiple-tasks-with-a-single-visual-language-model">Flamingo</a>, state-of-the-art few-shot visual question answering attention net, in Pytorch. It will include the perceiver resampler (including the scheme where the learned queries contributes keys / values to be attended to, in addition to media embeddings), the specialized masked cross attention blocks, and finally the tanh gating at the ends of the cross attention + corresponding feedforward blocks

Install

$ pip install flamingo-pytorch

Usage

import torch
from flamingo_pytorch import PerceiverResampler

perceive = PerceiverResampler(
    dim = 1024,
    depth = 2,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8,
    num_latents = 64,    # the number of latents to shrink your media sequence to, perceiver style
    num_time_embeds = 4  # say you have 4 images maximum in your dialogue
)

medias = torch.randn(1, 2, 256, 1024) # (batch, time, sequence length, dimension)
perceived = perceive(medias) # (1, 2, 64, 1024) - (batch, time, num latents, dimension)

Then you insert the GatedCrossAttentionBlock at different intervals in your giant language model. Your text would then attend to the perceived media from above

The recommended way to derive the media_locations boolean tensor would be to allocate a special token id to the media, and then, at the start of your large language model, do media_locations = text_id == media_token_id

import torch
from flamingo_pytorch import GatedCrossAttentionBlock

cross_attn = GatedCrossAttentionBlock(
    dim = 1024,
    dim_head = 64,
    heads = 8
)

text = torch.randn(1, 512, 1024)
perceived = torch.randn(1, 2, 64, 1024)

media_locations = torch.randint(0, 2, (1, 512)).bool()

text = cross_attn(
    text,
    perceived,
    media_locations = media_locations
)

That's it!

Attention is all you need.

Full working example with Flamingo + PaLM 🌴🦩🌴

Integration with <a href="https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/04/pathways-language-model-palm-scaling-to.html">PaLM</a>

First install vit-pytorch for the vision encoder

$ pip install vit-pytorch

Then

from vit_pytorch.vit import ViT
from vit_pytorch.extractor import Extractor

vit = ViT(
    image_size = 256,
    patch_size = 32,
    num_classes = 1000,
    dim = 1024,
    depth = 6,
    heads = 16,
    mlp_dim = 2048,
    dropout = 0.1,
    emb_dropout = 0.1
)

vit = Extractor(vit, return_embeddings_only = True)

# first take your trained image encoder and wrap it in an adapter that returns the image embeddings
# here we use the ViT from the vit-pytorch library

import torch
from flamingo_pytorch import FlamingoPaLM

# a PaLM language model, the 540 billion parameter model from google that shows signs of general intelligence

flamingo_palm = FlamingoPaLM(
    num_tokens = 20000,          # number of tokens
    dim = 1024,                  # dimensions
    depth = 12,                  # depth
    heads = 8,                   # attention heads
    dim_head = 64,               # dimension per attention head
    img_encoder = vit,           # plugin your image encoder (this can be optional if you pass in the image embeddings separately, but probably want to train end to end given the perceiver resampler)
    media_token_id = 3,          # the token id representing the [media] or [image]
    cross_attn_every = 3,        # how often to cross attend
    perceiver_num_latents = 64,  # perceiver number of latents, should be smaller than the sequence length of the image tokens
    perceiver_depth = 2          # perceiver resampler depth
)

# train your PaLM as usual

text = torch.randint(0, 20000, (2, 512))

palm_logits = flamingo_palm(text)

# after much training off the regular PaLM logits
# now you are ready to train Flamingo + PaLM
# by passing in images, it automatically freezes everything but the perceiver and cross attention blocks, as in the paper

dialogue = torch.randint(0, 20000, (4, 512))
images = torch.randn(4, 2, 3, 256, 256)

flamingo_logits = flamingo_palm(dialogue, images)

# do your usual cross entropy loss

It is quite evident where this is all headed if you think beyond just images.

Inception

For factual correctness, just imagine where this system would stand if one were to use <a href="https://github.com/lucidrains/retro-pytorch">a state of the art retrieval language model</a> as the base.
