# VisualBERT

[VisualBERT](https://huggingface.co/papers/1908.03557) is a vision-and-language model. It uses an approach called "early fusion", where inputs are fed together into a single Transformer stack initialized from [BERT](./bert). Self-attention implicitly aligns words with their corresponding image objects. It processes text with visual features from object-detector regions instead of raw pixels.

You can find all the original VisualBERT checkpoints under the [UCLA NLP](https://huggingface.co/uclanlp/models?search=visualbert) organization.

> Click on the VisualBERT models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply VisualBERT to different image and language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to answer a question based on an image with the [`AutoModel`] class.

## Notes

- Use a fine-tuned checkpoint for downstream tasks, like `visualbert-vqa` for visual question answering. Otherwise, use one of the pretrained checkpoints.
- The fine-tuned detector and weights aren't provided (available in the research projects), but the states can be directly loaded into the detector.
- The text input is concatenated in front of the visual embeddings in the embedding layer and is expected to be bound by `[CLS]` and [`SEP`] tokens.
- The segment ids must be set appropriately for the text and visual parts.
- Use [`BertTokenizer`] to encode the text and implement a custom detector/image processor to get the visual embeddings.
