This new model published in the NeurIPS2020 conference uses transformers to generate accurate text descriptions for each sequence of a video, using both the video and a general description of it as inputs.

As many of you guys may already know, we are approaching the date of the Neural Information Processing Systems conference, also referred to as the NeurIPS conference. Where many awesome papers will become publicly available and shared with a wider audience. I will certainly be covering the most interesting ones, just like the one in this video.

Which is called COOT: Cooperative Hierarchical Transformer for Video-Text Representation Learning. As the name states, it uses transformers to generate accurate text descriptions for each sequence of a video, using both the video and a general description of it as inputs.
