This specification describes a method for using a neural network to generate a network output that characterizes an entity. The method includes: obtaining a representation of the entity as a set of data element embeddings, obtaining a set of latent embeddings, and processing: (i) the set of data element embeddings, and (ii) the set of latent embeddings, using the neural network to generate the network output characterizing the entity. The neural network includes: (i) one or more cross-attention blocks, (ii) one or more self-attention blocks, and (iii) an output block. Each cross-attention block updates each latent embedding using attention over some or all of the data element embeddings. Each self-attention block updates each latent embedding using attention over the set of latent embeddings. The output block processes one or more latent embeddings to generate the network output that characterizes the entity.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for classifying actions in a video. One of the methods obtaining a feature representation of a video clip; obtaining data specifying a plurality of candidate agent bounding boxes in the key video frame; and for each candidate agent bounding box: processing the feature representation through an action transformer neural network.

Action classification in video clips using attention-based neural networks

A system that is configured to receive a sequence of task inputs and to perform a machine learning task is described. The system includes a reinforcement learning (RL) neural network and a task neural network. The RL neural network is configured to: generate, for each task input of the sequence of task inputs, a respective decision that determines whether to encode the task input or to skip the task input, and provide the respective decision of each task input to the task neural network. The task neural network is configured to: receive the sequence of task inputs, receive, from the RL neural network, for each task input of the sequence of task inputs, a respective decision that determines whether to encode the task input or to skip the task input, process each of the un-skipped task inputs in the sequence of task inputs to generate a respective accumulated feature for the un-skipped task input, wherein the respective accumulated feature characterizes features of the un-skipped task input and of previous un-skipped task inputs in the sequence, and generate a machine learning task output for the machine learning task based on the last accumulated feature generated for the last un-skipped task input in the sequence.

Reinforcement learning for active sequence processing

A computer-implemented neural network system for decomposing input video data. A video data input receives a sequence of video image frames. The sequence is encoded, using a 3D spatio-temporal encoder neural network, into a set of latent variables representing a compressed version of the sequence. A 3D spatio-temporal decoder neural network processes the set of latent variables to generate two or more sets of decomposed video data; these may be stored, communicated, and/or made available to a user interface. Input video including undesired features such as reflections, shadows, and occlusions may thus be decomposed into two or more video sequences, one in which the undesired features are suppressed, and another containing the undesired features.

Neural network systems for decomposing video data into layered representations

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for parallel processing of video frames using neural networks. One of the methods includes receiving a video sequence comprising a respective video frame at each of a plurality of time steps; and processing the video sequence using a video processing neural network to generate a video processing output for the video sequence, wherein the video processing neural network includes a sequence of network components, wherein the network components comprise a plurality of layer blocks each comprising one or more neural network layers, wherein each component is active for a respective subset of the plurality of time steps, and wherein each layer block is configured to, at each time step at which the layer block is active, receive an input generated at a previous time step and to process the input to generate a block output.

Parallel video processing neural networks

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing video data. An example system receives video data and generates optical flow data. An image sequence from the video data is provided to a first 3D spatio-temporal convolutional neural network to process the image data in at least three space-time dimensions and to provide a first convolutional neural network output. A corresponding sequence of optical flow image frames is provided to a second 3D spatio-temporal convolutional neural network to process the optical flow data in at least three space-time dimensions and to provide a second convolutional neural network output. The first and second convolutional neural network outputs are combined to provide a system output.
