VLM2Vec

This repo contains the code and data for VLM2Vec: Training Vision-Language Models for Massive Multimodal Embedding Tasks. In this paper, we aimed at building a unified multimodal embedding model for any tasks. Our model is based on converting an existing well-trained VLM (Phi-3.5-V) into an embedding model.

Release

Our model is being trained on MMEB-train and evaluated on MMEB-eval with contrastive learning. We only use in-batch negatives for training. Our best results were based on Lora training with batch size of 1024. We also have checkpoint with full training with batch size of 2048. Our results on 36 evaluation datasets are:

Experimental Results

Our model can outperform the existing baselines by a huge margin. abs

How to use VLM2Vec

First you can clone our github

git clone https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/VLM2Vec.git
pip -r requirements.txt

Then you can enter the directory to run the following command.

from src.model import MMEBModel
from src.arguments import ModelArguments
import torch
from transformers import HfArgumentParser, AutoProcessor
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np

model_args = ModelArguments(
    model_name='TIGER-Lab/VLM2Vec-Full',
    pooling='last',
    normalize=True)

model = MMEBModel.load(model_args)
model.eval()
model = model.to('cuda', dtype=torch.bfloat16)

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    model_args.model_name,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    num_crops=4,
)

# Image + Text -> Text
inputs = processor('<|image_1|> Represent the given image with the following question: What is in the image', [Image.open('figures/example.jpg')])
inputs = {key: value.to('cuda') for key, value in inputs.items()}
qry_output = model(qry=inputs)["qry_reps"]

string = 'A cat and a dog'
inputs = processor(string)
inputs = {key: value.to('cuda') for key, value in inputs.items()}
tgt_output = model(tgt=inputs)["tgt_reps"]
print(string, '=', model.compute_similarity(qry_output, tgt_output))
## A cat and a dog = tensor([[0.2969]], device='cuda:0', dtype=torch.bfloat16)

string = 'A cat and a tiger'
inputs = processor(string)
inputs = {key: value.to('cuda') for key, value in inputs.items()}
tgt_output = model(tgt=inputs)["tgt_reps"]
print(string, '=', model.compute_similarity(qry_output, tgt_output))
## A cat and a tiger = tensor([[0.2080]], device='cuda:0', dtype=torch.bfloat16)

# Text -> Image
inputs = processor('Find me an everyday image that matches the given caption: A cat and a dog.',)
inputs = {key: value.to('cuda') for key, value in inputs.items()}
qry_output = model(qry=inputs)["qry_reps"]

string = '<|image_1|> Represent the given image.'
inputs = processor(string, [Image.open('figures/example.jpg')])
inputs = {key: value.to('cuda') for key, value in inputs.items()}
tgt_output = model(tgt=inputs)["tgt_reps"]
print(string, '=', model.compute_similarity(qry_output, tgt_output))
## <|image_1|> Represent the given image. = tensor([[0.3105]], device='cuda:0', dtype=torch.bfloat16)

inputs = processor('Find me an everyday image that matches the given caption: A cat and a tiger.',)
