## Fine-tuning YOLO-World for Instance Segmentation


### Models

We fine-tune YOLO-World on LVIS (`LVIS-Base`) with mask annotations for open-vocabulary (zero-shot) instance segmentation.

We provide two fine-tuning strategies YOLO-World towards open-vocabulary instance segmentation:

* fine-tuning `all modules`: leads to better LVIS segmentation accuracy but affects the zero-shot performance.

* fine-tuning the `segmentation head`: maintains the zero-shot performanc but lowers LVIS segmentation accuracy.

**NOTE:**
1. The mask AP are evaluated on the LVIS `val 1.0`.
2. All models are fine-tuned for 80 epochs on `LVIS-Base` (866 categories, `common + frequent`).
3. The YOLO-World-Seg with only `seg head` fine-tuned maintains the original zero-shot detection capability and segments objects.
