+**Qwen-VL** 是阿里云研发的大规模视觉语言模型（Large Vision Language Model, LVLM）。Qwen-VL 可以以图像、文本、检测框作为输入，并以文本和检测框作为输出。Qwen-VL 系列模型的特点包括：
+- **强大的性能**：在四大类多模态任务的标准英文测评中（Zero-shot Caption/VQA/DocVQA/Grounding）上，均取得同等通用模型大小下最好效果；
+- **多语言对话模型**：天然支持多语言对话，端到端支持图片里中英双语的长文本识别；
+- **多图交错对话**：支持多图输入和比较，指定图片问答，多图文学创作等；
+- **首个支持中文开放域定位的通用模型**：通过中文开放域语言表达进行检测框标注；
+- **细粒度识别和理解**：相比于目前其它开源LVLM使用的224分辨率，Qwen-VL是首个开源的448分辨率的LVLM模型。更高分辨率可以提升细粒度的文字识别、文档问答和检测框标注。

 **Qwen-VL** (Qwen Large Vision Language Model) is the visual multimodal version of the large model series, Qwen (abbr. Tongyi Qianwen), proposed by Alibaba Cloud. Qwen-VL accepts image, text, and bounding box as inputs, outputs text and bounding box. The features of Qwen-VL include:
 - **Strong performance**: It significantly surpasses existing open-source Large Vision Language Models (LVLM) under similar scale settings on multiple English evaluation benchmarks (including Zero-shot caption, VQA, DocVQA, and Grounding).
-- **Multi-lingual LVLM support text recognization**: Qwen-VL naturally supports multi-lingual conversation, and it promotes end-to-end recognition of Chinese and English bi-lingual text in images.
+- **Multi-lingual LVLM supporting text recognization**: Qwen-VL naturally supports multi-lingual conversation, and it promotes end-to-end recognition of Chinese and English bi-lingual text in images.
 - **Multi-image interleaved conversations**: This feature allows for the input and comparison of multiple images, as well as the ability to specify questions related to the images and engage in multi-image storytelling.
 - **First generalist model support grounding in Chinese**: Detecting bounding boxes through open-domain language expression in both Chinese and English.
 - **Fine-grained recognization and understanding**: Compared to the 224 resolution currently used by other open-source LVLM, the 448 resolution promotes fine-grained text recognition, document QA, and bounding box annotation.
 
+目前，我们提供了 Qwen-VL 系列的两个模型：
+- Qwen-VL: Qwen-VL 以 Qwen-7B 的预训练模型作为语言模型的初始化，并以 [Openclip ViT-bigG](https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip) 作为视觉编码器的初始化，中间加入单层随机初始化的 cross-attention，经过约1.5B的图文数据训练得到。最终图像输入分辨率为448。
+- Qwen-VL-Chat: 在 Qwen-VL 的基础上，我们使用对齐机制打造了基于大语言模型的视觉AI助手Qwen-VL-Chat，其训练数据涵盖了 QWen-7B 的纯文本 SFT 数据、开源 LVLM 的 SFT 数据、数据合成和人工标注的图文对齐数据。

 We release two models of the Qwen-VL series:
 - Qwen-VL: The pre-trained LVLM model uses Qwen-7B as the initialization of the LLM, and [Openclip ViT-bigG](https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip) as the initialization of the visual encoder. And connects them with a randomly initialized cross-attention layer. Qwen-VL was trained on about 1.5B image-text paired data. The final image input resolution is 448.
 - Qwen-VL-Chat: A multimodal LLM-based AI assistant, which is trained with alignment techniques.

-## Evaluation
+## 评测
+
+我们从两个角度评测了两个模型的能力：
+1. 在**英文标准 Benchmark** 上评测模型的基础任务能力。目前评测了四大类多模态任务：
+    - Zero-shot Caption: 评测模型在未见过数据集上的零样本图片描述能力；
+    - General VQA: 评测模型的通用问答能力，例如判断题、颜色、个数、类目等问答能力；
+    - Text-based VQA：评测模型对于图片中文字相关的识别/问答能力，例如文档问答、图表问答、文字问答等；
+    - Referring Expression Compression：评测模型给定物体描述画检测框的能力；
+
+2. **试金石 (TouchStone)**：为了评测模型整体的图文对话能力和人类对齐水平。我们为此构建了一个基于 GPT4 打分来评测 LVLM 模型的 Benchmark：TouchStone。在 TouchStone-v0.1 中：
+    - 评测基准总计涵盖 300+张图片、800+道题目、27个类别。包括基础属性问答、人物地标问答、影视作品问答、视觉推理、反事实推理、诗歌创作、故事写作，商品比较、图片解题等**尽可能广泛的类别**。
+    - 为了弥补目前 GPT4 无法直接读取图片的缺陷，我们给所有的带评测图片提供了**人工标注的充分详细描述**，并且将图片的详细描述、问题和模型的输出结果一起交给 GPT4 打分。
+    - 评测同时包含英文版本和中文版本。
+  
+评测结果如下：
