# PreFLMR model card


### Model Description

- **Model type:** PreFLMR is an open-source model for multimodal knowledge retrieval. It is a transformer-based model that uses a combination of text and image inputs to retrieve relevant documents from a large corpus.
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English
- **License:** MIT License

## Uses

### Direct Use


This model can be used directly to retrieve documents from a large corpus using a combination of text and image input queries. The retrieval useage can be found in the [official implementation](https://github.com/LinWeizheDragon/FLMR).

### Downstream Use 

<!-- This section is for the model use when fine-tuned for a task, or when plugged into a larger ecosystem/app -->

This model can be used combined with language models to create a retrieval-augmented language model. The useage for Knowledge-based VQA can be found in [RAVQA](https://github.com/linweizhedragon/retrieval-augmented-visual-question-answering) 

## How to Get Started with the Model

For details of training, indexing and performing retrieval, please refer to [here](https://github.com/LinWeizheDragon/FLMR).

## Training datasets
The model is pretrained on three types of tasks with a total of nine datasets:
1. Image to Text retrieval: WIT, KVQA and CC3M
2. Question to Text retrieval: MSMARCO
3. Image & Question to Text retrieval: LLaVA, OVEN, OKVQA, Infoseek and E-VQA

These datasets were converted to retrieval format. For details on the dataset split and conversion process, please refer to the paper [PreFLMR: Scaling Up Fine-Grained Late-Interaction Multi-modal Retrievers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.08327). We will release the proprocessed datasets soon.


## Evaluation datasets
We evaluate our models on WIT, LLaVA, OVEN, KVQA, IGLUE (subset of WIT), Infoseek, E-VQA, OKVQA and MSMARCO.

For the evaluation metrics, WIT uses Recall@10, IGLUE uses Recall@1, and all the rest datasets use Recall@5.
