Announcement
[NeurIPS'23 Oral] Visual Instruction Tuning (LLaVA) built towards GPT-4V level capabilities and beyond
LLaVA (Large Language and Vision Assistant) is an open-source project focused on Visual Instruction Tuning, aiming to bridge large language models with visual understanding, achieving capabilities approaching GPT-4V.
Project Introduction
Summary
LLaVA is a research project and codebase for building large multimodal models via visual instruction tuning, pushing the boundaries of what open models can do in understanding and responding to visual information.
Problem Solved
Addresses the challenge of enabling large language models to effectively understand and interact with the visual world through language-based instructions, moving towards more general-purpose AI assistants.
Core Features
Multimodal Instruction Following
Trains models to follow complex instructions based on visual input, enabling diverse visual tasks controlled by natural language.
Advanced Visual-Language Reasoning
Achieves a high level of visual comprehension and reasoning, demonstrated by performance metrics near state-of-the-art proprietary models.
Tech Stack
Use Cases
LLaVA's capabilities open up various use cases where visual and language understanding are combined:
Visual Question Answering and Captioning
Details
Given an image, LLaVA can generate a detailed caption or answer specific questions about the image based on user instructions.
User Value
Enables richer interaction with visual content and automated description generation.
Instruction-Based Image Analysis
Details
Users can instruct LLaVA to perform actions conceptually related to the image content or extract specific information based on visual cues.
User Value
Automates complex image analysis tasks guided by natural language.
