🚀 Features

video-transformers uses:

• 🤗 accelerate for distributed training,

• 🤗 evaluate for evaluation,

• pytorchvideo for dataloading

and supports:

• creating and fine-tunining video models using transformers and timm vision models

• experiment tracking with neptune, tensorboard and other trackers

• exporting fine-tuned models in ONNX format

• pushing fine-tuned models into HuggingFace Hub

• loading pretrained models from HuggingFace Hub

• Automated Gradio app, and space creation

model = VideoModel.from_pretrained("runs/exp/checkpoint")

model.from_pretrained('account_name/model_name')

• Push your model to HuggingFace hub with auto-generated model-cards:

pythonCopy
from video_transformers import VideoModel

model = VideoModel.from_pretrained("runs/exp/checkpoint")
model.push_to_hub('account_name/app_name')

• (Incoming feature) Push your model as a Gradio app to HuggingFace Space:

pythonCopy
from video_transformers import VideoModel

model = VideoModel.from_pretrained("runs/exp/checkpoint")
model.push_to_space('account_name/app_name')

📈 Multiple tracker support

• Tensorboard tracker is enabled by default.

• To add Neptune/Layer ... tracking:

pythonCopy
from video_transformers.tracking import NeptuneTracker
from accelerate.tracking import WandBTracker

trackers = [
    NeptuneTracker(EXPERIMENT_NAME, api_token=NEPTUNE_API_TOKEN, project=NEPTUNE_PROJECT),
    WandBTracker(project_name=WANDB_PROJECT)
]

trainer = Trainer(
    datamodule,
    model,
    trackers=trackers
)

🕸️ ONNX support

• Convert your trained models into ONNX format for deployment:

pythonCopy
from video_transformers import VideoModel

model = VideoModel.from_pretrained("runs/exp/checkpoint")
model.to_onnx(quantize=False, opset_version=12, export_dir="runs/exports/", export_filename="model.onnx")

🤗 Gradio support

• Convert your trained models into Gradio App for deployment:

pythonCopy
from video_transformers import VideoModel

model = VideoModel.from_pretrained("runs/exp/checkpoint")
model.to_gradio(examples=['video.mp4'], export_dir="runs/exports/", export_filename="app.py")
