[UPDATE 08/01] Check out the ready-to-use model checkpoint and finetuning dataset from the community on Huggingface!

[UPDATE 07/21] Release the metadata of used LAION images: pretrain/finetune.

[UPDATE 07/12] Release the OCR evaluation results/script on the MME benchmark. LLaVAR increases the OCR score of LLaVA from 50 to 80.

[UPDATE 07/05] Data available on Huggingface :hugs:.

[UPDATE 07/05] Model Weight Delta on Huggingface :hugs:.

[UPDATE 06/29] Initial Release.

The main difference between our code and LLaVA's code is that we modified the training/testing/serving files to support Vicuna v1.1, which uses '</s>' as the separator instead of '###'.

Environment Setup

Please prepare the environment/merge the model weight following LLaVA.

Model Weight Delta: Google Drive, Huggingface

This should be merged with LLaMA-13B.

After merging, please add "v1" to your folder name and make sure the conversation mode "llava_v1" is used.

Training Data (Huggingface)

Our image data is already transformed into the format of LLaVA pretraining/finetuning (They have "fake" file names in the format of CC3M and COCO). You can download them and merge them into the LLaVA training sets.

Our instructions, on the other hand, already contain LLaVA's instructions.

Pretraining Images： Google Drive

Pretraining Instructions (595K + 422K)： Google Drive

Finetuning Images： Google Drive

Finetuning Instructions (158K + 16K): Google Drive

Finetuning Instructions (158K + 20K): Google Drive

Evaluation Data (Huggingface)

We collect 50 instruction-following questions and answers on 50 text-rich images from LAION, which can be leveraged for GPT-4-based instruction-following Evaluation.

Instruction-following on a given image URL.

python -m llava.eval.run_llava \
    --model-name /path/to/checkpoint \
    --image-file "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0057/3728/3618/products/a-man-called-otto_ezrjr0pm_480x.progressive.jpg" \
    --query "Who starred in the movie?"

For text-based VQA (from MultimodalOCR): after cloning their repo and preparing the data, you can put the ./MultimodalOCR/Eval_LLaVAR.py in /your/path/to/MultimodalOCR/models/LLaVA/ and add our model to /your/path/to/MultimodalOCR/eval.py for evaluation.

Acknowledgement

The code base is mainly from the LLaVA project. Our evaluation is also built on the MultimodalOCR project.

For better language decoder, you can also pay attention to the recent Vicuna model update.
