Gemini: A Family of Highly Capable Multimodal Models

This report introduces a new family of multimodal models, Gemini, that exhibit remarkable capabilities across image, audio, video, and text understanding. The Gemini family consists of Ultra, Pro, and Nano sizes, suitable for applications ranging from complex reasoning tasks to on-device memory-constrained use-cases. Evaluation on a broad range of benchmarks shows that our most-capable Gemini Ultra model advances the state of the art in 30 of 32 of these benchmarks - notably being the first model to achieve human-expert performance on the well-studied exam benchmark MMLU, and improving the state of the art in every one of the 20 multimodal benchmarks we examined. We believe that the new capabilities of Gemini models in cross-modal reasoning and language understanding will enable a wide variety of use cases and we discuss our approach toward deploying them responsibly to users.

The AVA-Kinetics Localized Human Actions Video Dataset

This paper describes the AVA-Kinetics localized human actions video dataset. The dataset is collected by annotating videos from the Kinetics-700 dataset using the AVA annotation protocol, and extending the original AVA dataset with these new AVA annotated Kinetics clips. The dataset contains over 230k clips annotated with the 80 AVA action classes for each of the humans in key-frames. We describe the annotation process and provide statistics about the new dataset. We also include a baseline evaluation using the Video Action Transformer Network on the AVA-Kinetics dataset, demonstrating improved performance for action classification on the AVA test set.
