As humans, we navigate a multimodal world, building a holistic understandingfrom all our senses. We introduce MERLOT Reserve, a model that representsvideos jointly over time -- through a new training objective that learns fromaudio, subtitles, and video frames. Given a video, we replace snippets of textand audio with a MASK token; the model learns by choosing the correctmasked-out snippet. Our objective learns faster than alternatives, and performswell at scale: we pretrain on 20 million YouTube videos.  Empirical results show that MERLOT Reserve learns strong multimodalrepresentations. When finetuned, it sets state-of-the-art on Visual CommonsenseReasoning (VCR), TVQA, and Kinetics-600; outperforming prior work by 5%, 7%,and 1.5% respectively. Ablations show that these tasks benefit from audiopretraining -- even VCR, a QA task centered around images (without sound).Moreover, our objective enables out-of-the-box prediction, revealing strongmultimodal commonsense understanding. In a fully zero-shot setting, our modelobtains competitive results on four video tasks, even outperforming supervisedapproaches on the recently proposed Situated Reasoning (STAR) benchmark.  We analyze why audio enables better vision-language representations,suggesting significant opportunities for future research. We conclude bydiscussing ethical and societal implications of multimodal pretraining.
