# 😈Imp |
|
|
|
|
|
The Imp project aims to provide a family of a strong multimodal `small` language models (MSLMs). Our `imp-v0-3b` is a strong MSLM with only **3B** parameters, which is build upon a small yet powerful SLM [Phi-2 ](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/phi-2)(2.7B) and a powerful visual encoder [SigLIP ](https://huggingface.co/google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384)(0.4B), and trained on the [LLaVA-v1.5](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA) training set. |
|
|
|
As shown in the Table below, `imp-v0-3b` significantly outperforms the counterparts of similar model sizes, and even achieves slightly better performance than the strong LLaVA-7B model on various multimodal benchmarks. |
|
|
|
We release our model weights and provide an example below to run our model . Detailed technical report and corresponding training/evaluation code will be released soon on our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/MILVLG/imp). We will persistently improve our model and release the next versions to further improve model performance :) |

|
## How to use |
|
|
|
You can use the following code for model inference. We minimize the required dependency libraries that only the `transformers` and `torch` packages are used. The format of text instructions is similar to [LLaVA](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA). |
|
|
|
```Python |
|
import torch |
|
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer |
|
from PIL import Image |
|
|
|
torch.set_default_device("cuda") |
|
|
|
#Create model |
|
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( |
|
"MILVLG/imp-v0-3b", |
|
torch_dtype=torch.float16, |
|
device_map="auto", |
|
trust_remote_code=True) |
|
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MILVLG/imp-v0-3b", trust_remote_code=True) |
|
|
|
#Set inputs |
|
text = "A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions. USER: <image>\nWhat are the colors of the bus in the image? ASSISTANT:" |
|
image = Image.open("images/bus.jpg") |
|
|
|
input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt').input_ids |
|
image_tensor = model.image_preprocess(image) |
|
|
|
#Generate the answer |
|
output_ids = model.generate( |
|
input_ids, |
|
max_new_tokens=100, |
|
images=image_tensor, |
|
use_cache=True)[0] |
|
print(tokenizer.decode(output_ids[input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True).strip()) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Model evaluation |
|
We conduct evaluation on 9 commonly-used benchmarks, including 5 academic VQA benchmarks and 4 popular MLLM benchmarks, to compare our Imp model with LLaVA (7B) and existing MSLMs of similar model sizes. |

## About us |
|
This project is maintained by the [MILVLG](https://github.com/MILVLG)@Hangzhou Dianzi University (HDU) led by Prof. Zhou Yu and Jun Yu, and is mainly developed by Zhenwei Shao and Xuecheng Ouyang. We hope our model may serve as a strong baseline to inspire future research on MSLM, as well as its derivative applications on mobile devices and robots. |
