🌟 Unlocking the Power of Visual Instruction-Tuned Models: A Step Towards Human-Agent Interaction 🌟
Introduction:
Are you ready to dive into the fascinating world of visual instruction-tuned models? In this blog post, we will explore the groundbreaking research that combines multiple activities into one instruction, enhancing generalization to new tasks. Prepare to be amazed by the recent chatbot explosion led by ChatGPT 2 and the addition of visual encoders like CLIP-ViT to conversation agents. But here’s the twist, they need help comprehending text inside images! Luckily, innovative OCR techniques make it possible to recognize words from photos. So, let’s embark on this visual and intriguing journey to uncover the secrets of instruction tuning and human-agent interaction!
1. The Power of Instruction Followed by Comprehension:
Imagine a world where conversation agents have the ability to comprehend words within images. That’s exactly where visual instruction-tuned models come into play. By gathering instruction-following data that necessitates an understanding of words inside pictures, researchers have developed a revolutionary approach to enhance the encoding capacity of visual encoders. They have gathered a massive 422K noisy instruction-following data using text-rich images. This approach not only improves feature alignment between language decoders and visual features but also opens doors for human-agent interaction based on diverse online material.
2. Unleashing the Potential of Text-Only GPT-4:
To produce sophisticated instructions, the researchers have enlisted the help of text-only GPT-4. They have trained the model to generate 16K conversations using OCR results and image captions as high-quality examples of how to follow instructions. Each conversation is filled with engaging question-and-answer pairs, empowering the model to provide unique insights and create a dynamic user experience. In this visually captivating journey, GPT-4’s ability to denoise OCR data and craft distinct questions plays a crucial role.
3. LLaVAR: The Language and Vision Assistant that Can Read:
