**VirText**, or **Visual representations from Textual annotations** is a pretraining approach using semantically dense captions to learn visual representations. First a ConvNet and [Transformer](https://paperswithcode.com/method/transformer) are jointly trained from scratch to generate natural language captions for images. Then, the learned features are transferred to downstream visual recognition tasks.
