Systems and methods for video-language neural networks

Embodiments described herein provide a vision-language neural network framework that outputs a text response to a user text query relating to the media content of the video input. Specifically, the vision-language neural network may comprise (1) a vision encoder (ViT) transforming each frame input from the video input into a set of tokens, (2) a frame-level tokenizer to reduce the number of tokens, (3) a temporal encoder to build video-level token representations, and (4) an autoregressive LLM generating a text output based on such video tokens and text prompt tokens.
