# HoVLE
[\[📜 HoVLE Paper\]](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.16158) [\[🚀 Quick Start\]](#quick-start)
<a id="radar"></a>
## Introduction
<p align="middle">
<img src="assets/intro.png" width="95%" />
</p>
We introduce **HoVLE**, a novel monolithic vision-language model (VLM) that processes images and texts in a unified manner. HoVLE introduces a holistic embedding module that projects image and text inputs into a shared embedding space, allowing the Large Language Model (LLM) to interpret images in the same way as texts.
HoVLE significantly surpasses previous monolithic VLMs and demonstrates competitive performance with compositional VLMs. This work narrows the gap between monolithic and compositional VLMs, providing a promising direction for the development of monolithic VLMs.
This repository releases the HoVLE model with 2.6B parameters. It is built upon [internlm2-chat-1_8b](https://huggingface.co/internlm/internlm2-chat-1_8b). Please refer to [HoVLE (HD)](https://huggingface.co/OpenGVLab/HoVLE-HD) for the high-definition version. For more details, please refer to our [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.16158).
## Model Details

| | Details |
| :---------------------------: | :---------- |
| Architecture | The whole model consists of a holistic embedding module and an LLM. The holistic embedding module consists of the same causal Transformer layers as the LLM. It accepts both images and texts as input, and projects them into a unified embedding space. These embeddings are then forwarded into the LLM, constituting a monolithic VLM. |
| Stage I (Distillation) | The first stage trains the holistic embedding module to distill the image feature from a pre-trained visual encoder and the text embeddings from an LLM, providing general encoding abilities. Only the holistic embedding module is trainable. |
| Stage II (Alignment) | The second stage combines the holistic embedding module with the LLM to perform auto-regressive training, aligning different modalities to a shared embedding space. Only the holistic embedding module is trainable. |
| Stage III (Instruction Tuning) | A visual instruction tuning stage is incorporated to further strengthen the whole VLM to follow instructions. The whole model is trainable. |

- Sources of the results include the original papers, our evaluation with [VLMEvalKit](https://github.com/open-compass/VLMEvalKit), and [OpenCompass](https://rank.opencompass.org.cn/leaderboard-multimodal/?m=REALTIME).
- Please note that evaluating the same model using different testing toolkits can result in slight differences, which is normal. Updates to code versions and variations in environment and hardware can also cause minor discrepancies in results.
Limitations: Although we have made efforts to ensure the safety of the model during the training process and to encourage the model to generate text that complies with ethical and legal requirements, the model may still produce unexpected outputs due to its size and probabilistic generation paradigm. For example, the generated responses may contain biases, discrimination, or other harmful content. Please do not propagate such content. We are not responsible for any consequences resulting from the dissemination of harmful information.
## Quick Start
We provide an example code to run HoVLE inference using `transformers`.
> Please use transformers==4.37.2 to ensure the model works normally.
