# VideoMAE ## Overview The VideoMAE model was proposed in [VideoMAE: Masked Autoencoders are Data-Efficient Learners for Self-Supervised Video Pre-Training](https://huggingface.co/papers/2203.12602) by Zhan Tong, Yibing Song, Jue Wang, Limin Wang. VideoMAE extends masked auto encoders ([MAE](vit_mae)) to video, claiming state-of-the-art performance on several video classification benchmarks. The abstract from the paper is the following: *Pre-training video transformers on extra large-scale datasets is generally required to achieve premier performance on relatively small datasets. In this paper, we show that video masked autoencoders (VideoMAE) are data-efficient learners for self-supervised video pre-training (SSVP). We are inspired by the recent ImageMAE and propose customized video tube masking and reconstruction. These simple designs turn out to be effective for overcoming information leakage caused by the temporal correlation during video reconstruction. We obtain three important findings on SSVP: (1) An extremely high proportion of masking ratio (i.e., 90% to 95%) still yields favorable performance of VideoMAE. The temporally redundant video content enables higher masking ratio than that of images. (2) VideoMAE achieves impressive results on very small datasets (i.e., around 3k-4k videos) without using any extra data. This is partially ascribed to the challenging task of video reconstruction to enforce high-level structure learning. (3) VideoMAE shows that data quality is more important than data quantity for SSVP. Domain shift between pre-training and target datasets are important issues in SSVP. Notably, our VideoMAE with the vanilla ViT backbone can achieve 83.9% on Kinects-400, 75.3% on Something-Something V2, 90.8% on UCF101, and 61.1% on HMDB51 without using any extra data.* drawing VideoMAE pre-training. Taken from the original paper. This model was contributed by [nielsr](https://huggingface.co/nielsr). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/MCG-NJU/VideoMAE). ## Using Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA) PyTorch includes a native scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) operator as part of `torch.nn.functional`. This function encompasses several implementations that can be applied depending on the inputs and the hardware in use. See the [official documentation](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention.html) or the [GPU Inference](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/perf_infer_gpu_one#pytorch-scaled-dot-product-attention) page for more information. SDPA is used by default for `torch>=2.1.1` when an implementation is available, but you may also set `attn_implementation="sdpa"` in `from_pretrained()` to explicitly request SDPA to be used. ```python from transformers import VideoMAEForVideoClassification model = VideoMAEForVideoClassification.from_pretrained("MCG-NJU/videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics", attn_implementation="sdpa", device_map="auto") ... ``` For the best speedups, we recommend loading the model in half-precision (e.g. `torch.float16` or `torch.bfloat16`). On a local benchmark (A100-40GB, PyTorch 2.3.0, OS Ubuntu 22.04) with `float32` and `MCG-NJU/videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics` model, we saw the following speedups during inference. | Batch size | Average inference time (ms), eager mode | Average inference time (ms), sdpa model | Speed up, Sdpa / Eager (x) | |--------------|-------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|------------------------------| | 1 | 37 | 10 | 3.7 | | 2 | 24 | 18 | 1.33 | | 4 | 43 | 32 | 1.34 | | 8 | 84 | 60 | 1.4 | ## Resources A list of official Hugging Face and community (indicated by 🌎) resources to help you get started with VideoMAE.

Hidden-states (also called feature maps) of the model at the output of each stage. - **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, patch_size, sequence_length)`. Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads. Examples: ```python >>> import torch >>> from transformers import VideoMAEVideoProcessor, VideoMAEForVideoClassification >>> from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download >>> # replace this with your own video file >>> video_path = hf_hub_download( ... repo_id="nielsr/video-demo", filename="eating_spaghetti.mp4", repo_type="dataset" ... ) >>> video_processor = VideoMAEVideoProcessor.from_pretrained("MCG-NJU/videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics") >>> model = VideoMAEForVideoClassification.from_pretrained("MCG-NJU/videomae-base-finetuned-kinetics") >>> inputs = video_processor(video_path, return_tensors="pt") >>> with torch.no_grad(): ... outputs = model(**inputs) ... logits = outputs.logits >>> # model predicts one of the 400 Kinetics-400 classes >>> predicted_label = logits.argmax(-1).item() >>> print(model.config.id2label[predicted_label]) eating spaghetti ``` **Parameters:** config ([VideoMAEForVideoClassification](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/videomae#transformers.VideoMAEForVideoClassification)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights. **Returns:** `[ImageClassifierOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.ImageClassifierOutput) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`` A [ImageClassifierOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.ImageClassifierOutput) or a tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration ([VideoMAEConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/videomae#transformers.VideoMAEConfig)) and inputs.
