Google Research introduced Generative Infinite-Vocabulary Transformers (GIVT), pioneering real-valued vector sequences for AI. This approach aims to address limitations in existing transformer models for image generation by using real-valued vectors instead of discrete tokens and exploring various sampling methods. The paper’s authors highlight GIVT’s performance and emphasize their reliance on standard deep learning techniques.

Transformers in AI: Revolutionizing Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision
Transformers have become a game-changer in natural language processing and are now gaining traction in computer vision. With the ability to divide images into sequences of patches and then feed them to a transformer encoder, transformers have become the norm for vision tasks such as segmentation, detection, and classification.
Challenges in Image Production
While transformers are well-suited for natural language, creating transformer-based picture production poses challenges. One approach using Vector-Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQ-VAE) has shown promise, but it has limitations in handling the vocabulary size and memory requirements.
Introducing Generative Unlimited-Vocabulary Transformer (GIVT)
A breakthrough solution comes in the form of Generative Unlimited-Vocabulary Transformer (GIVT), which functions with real-valued vector sequences. This innovative approach eliminates the need for discrete tokens and fixed vocabularies, addressing the limitations faced by VQ-VAE-based models.
Advantages of GIVT
The research team demonstrates that GIVT achieves similar or better performance than typical discrete-token transformer decoders on dense prediction tasks, semantic segmentation, depth estimation, and picture synthesis. It also proves the efficacy of traditional sampling methods for the continuous case, including temperature sampling, beam search, and classifier-free guiding.
