-OFA is a unified sequence-to-sequence pretrained model (support **English** and **Chinese**) that unifies modalities (i.e., cross-modality, vision, language) and tasks (**finetuning** and **prompt tuning** are supported): image captioning (1st at the [MSCOCO Leaderboard](https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/3221#results)), VQA ([link](https://eval.ai/web/challenges/challenge-page/830/leaderboard/2278)), visual grounding, text-to-image generation, text classification, text generation, image classification, etc. We provide **step-by-step** instructions for pretraining and finetuning and corresponding checkpoints (check official ckpt \[[EN](checkpoints.md)|[CN](checkpoints_cn.md)\] or [huggingface ckpt](https://huggingface.co/OFA-Sys)).

-# Training & Inference
-Below we provide methods for training and inference on different tasks. We provide both pretrained OFA-Large and OFA-Base in [checkpoints.md](checkpoints.md). The scripts mentioned in this section are prepared for OFA-Large. For reproducing the downstreaming results of OFA-Base, we have also provided the corresponding finetuning and inference scripts for OFA-Base in the `run_scripts/` folder.

-## Image Processing
-To ensure the efficiency of processing data, we did not store images with small files, but instead we encode them to base64 strings.
-Transforming image files to base64 strings is simple. Run the following code:
-```python
-from PIL import Image
-from io import BytesIO
-import base64
-
-img = Image.open(file_name) # path to file
-img_buffer = BytesIO()
-img.save(img_buffer, format=img.format)
-byte_data = img_buffer.getvalue()
-base64_str = base64.b64encode(byte_data) # bytes
-base64_str = base64_str.decode("utf-8") # str
-```
-
-## Pretraining
-Below we provide methods for pretraining OFA.
-
-<details>
-    <summary><b>1. Prepare the Dataset</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        To pretrain OFA, you should first download the dataset we provide (<a href="https://ofa-beijing.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/datasets/pretrain_data/pretrain_data_examples.zip">pretrain_data_examples.zip</a>, a small subset of the original pretraining data). For your customed pretraining datasets, please prepare your training samples into the same format. <code>pretrain_data_examples.zip</code> contains 4 TSV files: <code>vision_language_examples.tsv</code>, <code>text_examples.tsv</code>, <code>image_examples.tsv</code> and <code>detection_examples.tsv</code>. Details of these files are as follows: 
-        <br />
-        <ul type="circle">
-            <li><b>vision_language_examples.tsv</b>:
-    Each line contains uniq-id, image (base64 string), caption, question, answer, ground-truth objects (objects appearing in the caption or question), dataset name (source of the data) and task type (caption, qa or visual gronunding). Prepared for the pretraining tasks of visual grounding, grounded captioning, image-text matching, image captioning and visual question answering. </li>
-            <li><b>text_examples.tsv</b>: Each line contains uniq-id and text. Prepared for the pretraining task of text infilling. </li> 
-            <li><b>image_examples.tsv</b>: Each line contains uniq-id, image (base64 string, should be resized to 256*256 resolution) and image-code (generate the sparse codes for the central part of image through VQ-GAN). Prepared for the pretraining task of image infilling. </li>
-            <li><b>detection_examples.tsv</b>: Each line contains uniq-id, image (base64 string) and bounding box annotations (contains the top-left and bottom-right coordinates of the bounding box, object_id and object_name, seperated by commas). Prepared for the pretraining task of detection. </li>
-        </ul>
-        In addition, the folder negative_sample in pretrain_data_examples.zip contains three files <code>all_captions.txt</code>, <code>object.txt</code> and <code>type2ans.json</code>. The data in these files are used as negative samples for the image-text matching (ITM) task.
-    </p>
-</details>
-<details>
-    <summary><b>2. Pretraining</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        By default, the pretraining script will attempt to restore the released pretrained checkpoints of OFA-Base or OFA-Large and perform continuous pretraining. Continuous pretraining is more recommended, which achieves much better results compared with pretraining from scratch. For continuous pretraining, please download the pretrained weights in advance (see <a href='checkpoints.md'>checkpoints.md</a>) and put them in the correct directory <code>OFA/checkpoints/</code>. If not, the pretraining will begin from scratch.
-    </p>
-<pre>
-cd run_scripts/pretraining
-bash pretrain_ofa_large.sh # Pretrain OFA-Large. For OFA-Base, use pretrain_ofa_base.sh
-</pre>
-    <p>
-        If the pretrained OFA checkpoint is restored successfully, you will see the following information in the log:
-    </p>
-<pre>
-INFO: Loaded checkpoint ../../checkpoints/ofa_large.pt

-
-## Image Captioning
-We provide procedures to reproduce our results of image captioning on our paper below.
-<details>
-    <summary><b>1. Prepare the Dataset & Checkpoints</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        Download data (see <a href='datasets.md'>datasets.md</a>) and models (see <a href='checkpoints.md'>checkpoints.md</a>) and put them in the correct directory. The dataset zipfile <code>caption_data.zip</code> contains caption_stage1_train.tsv, caption_stage2_train.tsv, caption_val.tsv and caption_test.tsv. Each image corresponds to only 1 caption in <code>caption_stage1_train.tsv</code> and corresponds to multiple captions in other TSV files (about 5 captions per image). Each line of the dataset represents a caption sample with the following format. The information of uniq-id, image-id, caption, predicted object labels (taken from <a href='https://github.com/pzzhang/VinVL'>VinVL</a>, not used), image base64 string are separated by tabs.

-<details>
-    <summary><b>2. Finetuning</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        Following previous standard practice, we divide the finetuning process of image captioning into two stages. In stage 1, we finetune OFA with cross-entropy loss on 4 NVIDIA-V100 GPUs with 32GB memory (expected to obtain ~139.5 CIDEr on the validation set at this stage). In stage 2, we select the best checkpoint of stage 1 and train with CIDEr optimization on 8 NVIDIA-V100 GPUs. <b>Note that CIDEr optimization is very unstable and requires careful hyperparameter tuning. If you encounter training errors in the stage2 finetuning, you can increase the batch size or reduce the learning rate. If neither of these works, you can directly set </b><code>--freeze-resnet</code><b> to freeze the inner states of batch normalization.</b>

The dataset zipfile <code>coco_image_gen.zip</code> contains <code>coco_vqgan_train.tsv</code>, <code>coco_vqgan_dev.tsv</code> and <code>coco_vqgan_full_test.tsv</code>. Each line of the dataset represents a sample with the following format. The information of uniq-id, image-code (produced by <a href="https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers">vqgan</a>, a list of integers separated by single-whitespaces), lowercased caption are separated by tabs.

-    <summary><b>3. Finetuning</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        Following previous practice, we divide the finetuning process of image generating into two stages. In stage 1, we finetune OFA with cross-entropy loss on 4 8-V100-32G-GPU servers (expected to obtain ~32.5+ CLIP Score on the validation set at this stage). In stage 2, we select the last checkpoint of stage 1 and train with CLIP Score optimization on 4 8-V100-32G-GPU servers (expected to obtain ~34.0+ CLIP Score on the validation set at this stage). During the validation, the generated image will be dumped into <code>_GEN_IMAGE_PATH_</code>.

-## Visual Question Answering
-Here we provide the finetuning and inference codes to reproduce the VQAv2 result reported in our paper (**test-std 80.02**). We believe much improvement on accuracy can still be achieved based on this codebase :)
-<details>
-    <summary><b>1. Prepare the Dataset & Checkpoints</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        Download data (see <a href="datasets.md">datasets.md</a>) and models (see <a href="checkpoints.md">checkpoints.md</a>) and put them in the correct directory. The dataset zipfile <code>vqa_data.zip</code> is around 100G and the decompressed data costs around 135G disk storage, which contains the training, validation and testing samples together with other necessary data resources. (Since <code>vqa_data.zip</code> is large in size, we have also provided chunked parts of the dataset files for more convenient and stable downloading. Please refer to <a href="https://github.com/OFA-Sys/OFA/issues/68#issuecomment-1096837349">issue #68</a>.) Following common practice, VG-QA samples are also included in the training data. To adapt to the seq2seq paradigm of OFA, we transform original VQA training questions with multiple golden answers into multiple training samples. For the original VQA validation set, we keep around 10k samples for our validation and utilize the other samples for training. Each line of the dataset represents a VQA sample with the following format. The information of question-id, image-id, question, answer (with confidence), predicted object labels (taken from <a href="https://github.com/pzzhang/VinVL">VinVL</a>, slightly brings around +0.1 accuracy improvement), image base64 string are separated by tabs.

-    <summary><b>2. Shuffle the Training Data</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        (Optional, but achieves better finetuning accuracy): If the disk storage is sufficient, we recommend to prepare the shuffled training data for each epoch in advance. In our experiments, we use shuffling which brings around <b>+0.3</b> improvement on VQA accuracy.
-    </p>
-<pre>
-cd dataset/vqa_data
-ln vqa_train.tsv vqa_train_1.tsv
-for idx in `seq 1 9`;do shuf vqa_train_${idx}.tsv > vqa_train_$[${idx}+1].tsv;done # each file is used for an epoch
-</pre>
-</details>
-<details>
-    <summary><b>3. Finetuning</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        In our experiments, the VQA finetuning is performed on 4 8-A100-GPU servers (<i>with RDMA</i>). Here provides the finetuning script <code>train_vqa_distributed.sh</code>, which supports multi-server distributed training (as well as single-server training). Please refer to the comments in the beginning of the script and set the configs correctly according to your distribution environment. If you have shuffled the training data in the previous step, please correctly specify the training data path following the guide in the script comments. <b>The command should be run on each worker.</b> 
-    </p>
-<pre>
-# run on each worker after the distributed and data configs have been correctly set following the guide in train_vqa_distributed.sh 
-cd run_scripts/vqa
-bash train_vqa_distributed.sh 
-</pre>
-    <p>
-        In our experiments, the finetuning costs around 36 hours (for 12 epochs). After each epoch, an evaluation on validation set is performed. The best validation accuracy during finetuning will be around 80.8. The log is saved in <code>${log_dir}</code>.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-        <i>(Update on validation time-cost)</i> As will be mentioned in the <i>4. Inference</i> section, we prepare 2 types of inference: beam-search and all-candidate inference. By default, all-candidate inference is used for validation during fine-tuning, which achieves better accuracy but costs much time. Now we have added a new option in the training scripts called <code>--val-inference-type</code> to switch the validation inference type during fine-tuning. If you feel the validation takes too long, you can refer to <a href="https://github.com/OFA-Sys/OFA/pull/79">PR #79</a> to activate beam-search validation, which significantly takes much less time, with around 0.5-0.6 validation score degradation compared with all-candidate validation.
-    </p>
-</details>
-<details>
-    <summary><b>4. Inference</b></summary>
-    <p>
-        We provide 2 types of inference, <b>beam-search</b> (much faster but gets sub-optimal accuracy) and <b>all-candidate evaluation</b> (slower but best accuracy). <br></br>
-        For beam-search inference, use the script <code>evaluate_vqa_beam.sh</code>. Refer to the command below. The inference on test set costs around 16 GPU hours. After inference on test set, the result JSON file will be dumped in the <code>${result_path}</code> defined in the shell script. You can submit the result <code>test_predict.json</code> to <a href="https://eval.ai/web/challenges/challenge-page/830/overview">EvalAI</a>. Using our released finetuned checkpoint, beam-search inference will get 80.15 validation accuracy, 79.36 test-dev accuracy and 79.48 test-std accuracy (around 0.6 lower than all-candidate evaluation).
-    </p>
-<pre>
-cd run_scripts/vqa
-bash evaluate_vqa_beam.sh val # specify 'val' or 'test'
-</pre>
-    <p>
-        For all-candidate evaluation, we recommend to use the distributed script <code>evaluate_vqa_allcand_distributed.sh</code>. Please refer to the guide in the script to set the distributed configs before running. The result JSON file will be dumped in the <code>${result_path}</code> defined in the shell script of rank-0 server. All-candidate evaluation computes scores on all the candidate answers in the VQA dataset, which achieves <b>80.82</b> validation accuracy, <b>79.87</b> test-dev accuracy and <b>80.02</b> test-std accuracy, reproducing our reported results in the paper. However, the inference on test set costs around 1k GPU hours, which is much slower.
-    </p>
-<pre>
-# run on each worker after the distributed configs have been correctly set following the guide in evaluate_vqa_allcand_distributed.sh
-cd run_scripts/vqa
-bash evaluate_vqa_allcand_distributed.sh val # specify 'val' or 'test'
