Study Notes
CogVideoX Model Architecture
- Uses a 3D causal Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to compress video input into a latent space (zvision).
- Encodes text input into embeddings (ztext) using T5.
- Concatenates ztext and zvision, feeding the result into a stack of expert transformer blocks.
- Decodes the output of the transformer blocks using a 3D causal VAE decoder to reconstruct the video.
3D Causal VAE for Video Compression
- Addresses the computational challenge of handling large video datasets.
- Employs 3D convolutions for spatial and temporal compression.
- Achieves higher compression ratios and better reconstruction quality than image VAEs.
- Encoder and decoder have four symmetric stages with 2x downsampling/upsampling using ResNet blocks.
- Temporal downsampling (4x) and spatial downsampling (8x8) resulting in a total 256x compression.
- Uses temporally causal convolution to prevent future information from influencing past predictions.
- Context parallelism for 3D convolution distributes computation across multiple devices to handle large video frames.
- Two-stage training: initial training on lower resolution, shorter videos followed by fine-tuning on longer videos using context parallelism.
- Loss function is a weighted combination of L2 loss, LPIPS perceptual loss, and GAN loss from a 3D discriminator.
Transformer Design Choices in CogVideoX
- Video latents (T x H x W x C) are patchified along spatial dimensions (H and W), creating zvision sequence of length T * Hp * Wp. Temporal dimension (T) is not patchified to allow joint image/video training.
- Employs 3D-RoPE (Rotary Position Embedding) for positional encoding. Extends 1D RoPE to 3D by applying it independently to x, y, t coordinates of each latent, each occupying a portion of the hidden states' channels (3/8, 3/8, 2/8 respectively). The encodings are concatenated along the channel dimension.
- 3D-RoPE is shown to outperform sinusoidal absolute position encoding based on empirical loss curve analysis (partial results provided).
