	<span>Overview
	</span></h2>

<p>The <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.VisionEncoderDecoderModel">VisionEncoderDecoderModel</a> can be used to initialize an image-to-text model with any
pretrained Transformer-based vision model as the encoder (<em>e.g.</em> <a href="vit">ViT</a>, <a href="beit">BEiT</a>, <a href="deit">DeiT</a>, <a href="swin">Swin</a>)
and any pretrained language model as the decoder (<em>e.g.</em> <a href="roberta">RoBERTa</a>, <a href="gpt2">GPT2</a>, <a href="bert">BERT</a>, <a href="distilbert">DistilBERT</a>).</p>
<p>The effectiveness of initializing image-to-text-sequence models with pretrained checkpoints has been shown in (for
example) <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10282" rel="nofollow">TrOCR: Transformer-based Optical Character Recognition with Pre-trained Models</a> by Minghao Li, Tengchao Lv, Lei Cui, Yijuan Lu, Dinei Florencio, Cha Zhang,
Zhoujun Li, Furu Wei.</p>
<p>After such a <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.VisionEncoderDecoderModel">VisionEncoderDecoderModel</a> has been trained/fine-tuned, it can be saved/loaded just like any other models (see the examples below
for more information).</p>
<p>An example application is image captioning, in which the encoder is used to encode the image, after which an autoregressive language model generates
the caption. Another example is optical character recognition. Refer to <a href="trocr">TrOCR</a>, which is an instance of <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.VisionEncoderDecoderModel">VisionEncoderDecoderModel</a>.</p>

<p><a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.VisionEncoderDecoderModel">VisionEncoderDecoderModel</a> can be randomly initialized from an encoder and a decoder config. In the following example, we show how to do this using the default <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vit#transformers.ViTModel">ViTModel</a> configuration for the encoder
and the default <code>BertForCausalLM</code> configuration for the decoder.</p>

	<span>Initialising <code>VisionEncoderDecoderModel</code> from a pretrained encoder and a pretrained decoder.
	</span></h2>

<p><a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.VisionEncoderDecoderModel">VisionEncoderDecoderModel</a> can be initialized from a pretrained encoder checkpoint and a pretrained decoder checkpoint. Note that any pretrained Transformer-based vision model, <em>e.g.</em> <a href="swin">Swin</a>, can serve as the encoder and both pretrained auto-encoding models, <em>e.g.</em> BERT, pretrained causal language models, <em>e.g.</em> GPT2, as well as the pretrained decoder part of sequence-to-sequence models, <em>e.g.</em> decoder of BART, can be used as the decoder.
Depending on which architecture you choose as the decoder, the cross-attention layers might be randomly initialized.
Initializing <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.VisionEncoderDecoderModel">VisionEncoderDecoderModel</a> from a pretrained encoder and decoder checkpoint requires the model to be fine-tuned on a downstream task, as has been shown in <a href="https://huggingface.co/blog/warm-starting-encoder-decoder" rel="nofollow">the <em>Warm-starting-encoder-decoder blog post</em></a>.
To do so, the <code>VisionEncoderDecoderModel</code> class provides a <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.VisionEncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained">VisionEncoderDecoderModel.from_encoder_decoder_pretrained()</a> method.</p>

<p>Once the model is created, it can be fine-tuned similar to BART, T5 or any other encoder-decoder model on a dataset of (image, text) pairs.
As you can see, only 2 inputs are required for the model in order to compute a loss: <code>pixel_values</code> (which are the
images) and <code>labels</code> (which are the <code>input_ids</code> of the encoded target sequence).</p>

<p>This class can be used to initialize an image-to-text-sequence model with any pretrained vision autoencoding model
as the encoder and any pretrained text autoregressive model as the decoder. The encoder is loaded via
<a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.FlaxAutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained">from_pretrained()</a> function and the decoder is loaded via <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.FlaxAutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained">from_pretrained()</a>
function. Cross-attention layers are automatically added to the decoder and should be fine-tuned on a downstream
generative task, like image captioning.</p>
<p>The effectiveness of initializing sequence-to-sequence models with pretrained checkpoints for sequence generation
tasks was shown in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.12461" rel="nofollow">Leveraging Pre-trained Checkpoints for Sequence Generation
Tasks</a> by Sascha Rothe, Shashi Narayan, Aliaksei Severyn. Michael Matena, Yanqi
Zhou, Wei Li, Peter J. Liu.</p>
<p>Additionally, in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10282" rel="nofollow">TrOCR: Transformer-based Optical Character Recognition with Pre-trained
Models</a> it is shown how leveraging large pretrained vision models for optical
character recognition (OCR) yields a significant performance improvement.</p>
<p>After such a Vision-Encoder-Text-Decoder model has been trained/fine-tuned, it can be saved/loaded just like any
other models (see the examples for more information).</p>
<p>This model inherits from <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel">PreTrainedModel</a>. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)</p>
<p>This model is also a PyTorch <a href="https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module" rel="nofollow">torch.nn.Module</a> subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.</p>
<p><a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.VisionEncoderDecoderModel">VisionEncoderDecoderModel</a> is a generic model class that will be instantiated as a transformer architecture with
one of the base vision model classes of the library as encoder and another one as decoder when created with the
:meth<em>~transformers.AutoModel.from_pretrained</em> class method for the encoder and
:meth<em>~transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained</em> class method for the decoder.</p>

<p>This class can be used to initialize an image-to-text-sequence model with any pretrained vision autoencoding model
as the encoder and any pretrained text autoregressive model as the decoder. The encoder is loaded via
<a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.FlaxAutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained">from_pretrained()</a> function and the decoder is loaded via <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.FlaxAutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained">from_pretrained()</a>
function. Cross-attention layers are automatically added to the decoder and should be fine-tuned on a downstream
generative task, like image captioning.</p>
<p>The effectiveness of initializing sequence-to-sequence models with pretrained checkpoints for sequence generation
tasks was shown in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.12461" rel="nofollow">Leveraging Pre-trained Checkpoints for Sequence Generation
Tasks</a> by Sascha Rothe, Shashi Narayan, Aliaksei Severyn. Michael Matena, Yanqi
Zhou, Wei Li, Peter J. Liu.</p>
<p>Additionally, in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10282" rel="nofollow">TrOCR: Transformer-based Optical Character Recognition with Pre-trained
Models</a> it is shown how leveraging large pretrained vision models for optical
character recognition (OCR) yields a significant performance improvement.</p>
<p>After such a Vision-Encoder-Text-Decoder model has been trained/fine-tuned, it can be saved/loaded just like any
other models (see the examples for more information).</p>
<p>This model inherits from <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/main_classes/model#transformers.TFPreTrainedModel">TFPreTrainedModel</a>. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)</p>
<p>This model is also a <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model" rel="nofollow">tf.keras.Model</a> subclass. Use it
as a regular TF 2.0 Keras Model and refer to the TF 2.0 documentation for all matter related to general usage and
behavior.</p>
<p><a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.TFVisionEncoderDecoderModel">TFVisionEncoderDecoderModel</a> is a generic model class that will be instantiated as a transformer architecture
with one of the base vision model classes of the library as encoder and another one of the base model classes as

<p>This class can be used to initialize an image-to-text-sequence model with any pretrained vision autoencoding model
as the encoder and any pretrained text autoregressive model as the decoder. The encoder is loaded via
<a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.FlaxAutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained">from_pretrained()</a> function and the decoder is loaded via <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.FlaxAutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained">from_pretrained()</a>
function. Cross-attention layers are automatically added to the decoder and should be fine-tuned on a downstream
generative task, like image captioning.</p>
<p>The effectiveness of initializing sequence-to-sequence models with pretrained checkpoints for sequence generation
tasks was shown in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.12461" rel="nofollow">Leveraging Pre-trained Checkpoints for Sequence Generation
Tasks</a> by Sascha Rothe, Shashi Narayan, Aliaksei Severyn. Michael Matena, Yanqi
Zhou, Wei Li, Peter J. Liu.</p>
<p>Additionally, in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10282" rel="nofollow">TrOCR: Transformer-based Optical Character Recognition with Pre-trained
Models</a> it is shown how leveraging large pretrained vision models for optical
character recognition (OCR) yields a significant performance improvement.</p>
<p>After such a Vision-Encoder-Text-Decoder model has been trained/fine-tuned, it can be saved/loaded just like any
other models (see the examples for more information).</p>
<p>This model inherits from <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/main_classes/model#transformers.FlaxPreTrainedModel">FlaxPreTrainedModel</a>. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)</p>
<p>This model is also a Flax Linen
<a href="https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/flax.nn.module.html" rel="nofollow">flax.nn.Module</a> subclass. Use it as a
regular Flax Module and refer to the Flax documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.</p>
<p><a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder#transformers.FlaxVisionEncoderDecoderModel">FlaxVisionEncoderDecoderModel</a> is a generic model class that will be instantiated as a transformer architecture
with the module (flax.nn.Module) of one of the base vision model classes of the library as encoder module and
another one as decoder module when created with the :meth<em>~transformers.FlaxAutoModel.from_pretrained</em> class method
for the encoder and :meth<em>~transformers.FlaxAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained</em> class method for the decoder.</p>
