## Introduction

LAVIS is a Python deep learning library for LAnguage-and-VISion intelligence research and applications. This library aims to provide engineers and researchers with a one-stop solution to rapidly develop models for their specific multimodal scenarios, and benchmark them across standard and customized datasets.

It features a unified interface design to access

- **10+** tasks

(retrieval, captioning, visual question answering, multimodal classification etc.);

- **20+** datasets (COCO, Flickr, Nocaps, Conceptual

Commons, SBU, etc.);

- **30+** pretrained weights of state-of-the-art foundation language-vision models and their task-specific adaptations, including [ALBEF](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.07651.pdf),

[BLIP](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.12086.pdf), [ALPRO](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.09583.pdf), [CLIP](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.00020.pdf).

Key features of LAVIS include:



- **Unified and Modular Interface**: facilitating to easily leverage and repurpose existing modules (datasets, models, preprocessors), also to add new modules.



- **Easy Off-the-shelf Inference and Feature Extraction**: readily available pre-trained models let you take advantage of state-of-the-art multimodal understanding and generation capabilities on your own data.



- **Reproducible Model Zoo and Training Recipes**: easily replicate and extend state-of-the-art models on existing and new tasks.



- **Dataset Zoo and Automatic Downloading Tools**: it can be a hassle to prepare the many language-vision datasets. LAVIS provides automatic downloading scripts to help prepare a large variety of datasets and their annotations.





The following table shows the supported tasks, datasets and models in our library. This is a continuing effort and we are working on further growing the list.

# gpt_dialogue                   base

```



Let’s see how to use models in LAVIS to perform inference on example data. We first load a sample image from local.



```python

import torch

from PIL import Image

# setup device to use

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

# load sample image

raw_image = Image.open("docs/_static/merlion.png").convert("RGB")

```



This example image shows [Merlion park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlion) ([source](https://theculturetrip.com/asia/singapore/articles/what-exactly-is-singapores-merlion-anyway/)), a landmark in Singapore.





### Image Captioning

In this example, we use the BLIP model to generate a caption for the image. To make inference even easier, we also associate each

pre-trained model with its preprocessors (transforms), accessed via ``load_model_and_preprocess()``.



```python

import torch

from lavis.models import load_model_and_preprocess

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

# loads BLIP caption base model, with finetuned checkpoints on MSCOCO captioning dataset.

# this also loads the associated image processors

model, vis_processors, _ = load_model_and_preprocess(name="blip_caption", model_type="base_coco", is_eval=True, device=device)

# preprocess the image

# vis_processors stores image transforms for "train" and "eval" (validation / testing / inference)

image = vis_processors["eval"](raw_image).unsqueeze(0).to(device)

# generate caption

model.generate({"image": image})

# ['a large fountain spewing water into the air']

```



### Visual question answering (VQA)

BLIP model is able to answer free-form questions about images in natural language.

To access the VQA model, simply replace the ``name`` and ``model_type`` arguments

passed to ``load_model_and_preprocess()``.



```python

from lavis.models import load_model_and_preprocess

model, vis_processors, txt_processors = load_model_and_preprocess(name="blip_vqa", model_type="vqav2", is_eval=True, device=device)

# ask a random question.

question = "Which city is this photo taken?"

image = vis_processors["eval"](raw_image).unsqueeze(0).to(device)

question = txt_processors["eval"](question)

model.predict_answers(samples={"image": image, "text_input": question}, inference_method="generate")

# ['singapore']

```



### Unified Feature Extraction Interface



LAVIS provides a unified interface to extract features from each architecture. 

To extract features, we load the feature extractor variants of each model.

The multimodal feature can be used for multimodal classification.

The low-dimensional unimodal features can be used to compute cross-modal similarity.





```python

from lavis.models import load_model_and_preprocess

model, vis_processors, txt_processors = load_model_and_preprocess(name="blip_feature_extractor", model_type="base", is_eval=True, device=device)

caption = "a large fountain spewing water into the air"

image = vis_processors["eval"](raw_image).unsqueeze(0).to(device)

text_input = txt_processors["eval"](caption)

sample = {"image": image, "text_input": [text_input]}



features_multimodal = model.extract_features(sample)

print(features_multimodal.multimodal_embeds.shape)

# torch.Size([1, 12, 768]), use features_multimodal[:,0,:] for multimodal classification tasks



features_image = model.extract_features(sample, mode="image")

features_text = model.extract_features(sample, mode="text")

print(features_image.image_embeds.shape)

# torch.Size([1, 197, 768])

print(features_text.text_embeds.shape)

# torch.Size([1, 12, 768])



# low-dimensional projected features

print(features_image.image_embeds_proj.shape)

# torch.Size([1, 197, 256])

print(features_text.text_embeds_proj.shape)

# torch.Size([1, 12, 256])

similarity = features_image.image_embeds_proj[:,0,:] @ features_text.text_embeds_proj[:,0,:].t()

print(similarity)

# tensor([[0.2622]])

```



### Load Datasets

LAVIS inherently supports a wide variety of common language-vision datasets by providing [automatic download tools](https://opensource.salesforce.com/LAVIS//latest/benchmark) to help download and organize these datasets. After downloading, to load the datasets, use the following code:



```python

from lavis.datasets.builders import dataset_zoo

dataset_names = dataset_zoo.get_names()

print(dataset_names)

# ['aok_vqa', 'coco_caption', 'coco_retrieval', 'coco_vqa', 'conceptual_caption_12m',

#  'conceptual_caption_3m', 'didemo_retrieval', 'flickr30k', 'imagenet', 'laion2B_multi',

#  'msrvtt_caption', 'msrvtt_qa', 'msrvtt_retrieval', 'msvd_caption', 'msvd_qa', 'nlvr',

#  'nocaps', 'ok_vqa', 'sbu_caption', 'snli_ve', 'vatex_caption', 'vg_caption', 'vg_vqa']

```

After downloading the images, we can use ``load_dataset()`` to obtain the dataset.

```python

from lavis.datasets.builders import load_dataset

coco_dataset = load_dataset("coco_caption")

print(coco_dataset.keys())

# dict_keys(['train', 'val', 'test'])

print(len(coco_dataset["train"]))

# 566747

print(coco_dataset["train"][0])

# {'image': <PIL.Image.Image image mode=RGB size=640x480>,

#  'text_input': 'A woman wearing a net on her head cutting a cake. ',

#  'image_id': 0}

```



If you already host a local copy of the dataset, you can pass in the ``vis_path`` argument to change the default location to load images.



```python

coco_dataset = load_dataset("coco_caption", vis_path=YOUR_LOCAL_PATH)

```

- **Dataset Download and Browsing**: see [Dataset Download](https://opensource.salesforce.com/LAVIS//latest/benchmark) for instructions and automatic tools on download common language-vision datasets.

- **GUI Demo**: to run the demo locally, run ```bash run_scripts/run_demo.sh``` and then follow the instruction on the prompts to view in browser. A web demo is coming soon.





## Documentations

For more details and advanced usages, please refer to

[documentation](https://opensource.salesforce.com/LAVIS//latest/index.html#).



## Ethical and Responsible Use

We note that models in LAVIS provide no guarantees on their multimodal abilities; incorrect or biased predictions may be observed. In particular, the datasets and pretrained models utilized in LAVIS may contain socioeconomic biases which could result in misclassification and other unwanted behaviors such as offensive or inappropriate speech. We strongly recommend that users review the pre-trained models and overall system in LAVIS before practical adoption. We plan to improve the library by investigating and mitigating these potential biases and

inappropriate behaviors in the future.
