The correspoding training dataset is in [medicine-visual-instructions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdaptLLM/medicine-visual-instructions). The main project page is: [Adapt-MLLM-to-Domains](https://huggingface.co/AdaptLLM/Adapt-MLLM-to-Domains/edit/main/README.md) We investigate domain adaptation of MLLMs through post-training, focusing on data synthesis, training pipelines, and task evaluation. **(1) Data Synthesis**: Using open-source models, we develop a visual instruction synthesizer that effectively generates diverse visual instruction tasks from domain-specific image-caption pairs. **Our synthetic tasks surpass those generated by manual rules, GPT-4, and GPT-4V in enhancing the domain-specific performance of MLLMs.** **(2) Training Pipeline**: While the two-stage training--initially on image-caption pairs followed by visual instruction tasks--is commonly adopted for developing general MLLMs, we apply a single-stage training pipeline to enhance task diversity for domain-specific post-training. **(3) Task Evaluation**: We conduct experiments in two domains, biomedicine and food, by post-training MLLMs of different sources and scales (e.g., Qwen2-VL-2B, LLaVA-v1.6-8B, Llama-3.2-11B), and then evaluating MLLM performance on various domain-specific tasks.

To Chat with AdaMLLM Our model architecture aligns with the base model: Qwen-2-VL-Instruct. We provide a usage example below, and you may refer to the official [Qwen-2-VL-Instruct repository](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct/edit/main/README.md) for more advanced usage instructions. **Note:** For AdaMLLM, always place the image at the beginning of the input instruction in the messages.
