# MLM-Filter-13b Model Card

## Model details

**Model type:**
MLM-Filter-13b is an open-source MLLM trained to assess the data quality of image-text paired data. It can generate 4 quality metrics for image-text data: Image Text Matching, Object Detail Fulfillment, Caption Text Quality, and Semantic Understanding.

**Model date:**
MLM-Filter-13B was trained in Dec 2023.

## Intended use
**Primary intended uses:**
MLM-Filter can be used as a drop-in replacement for CLIPScore in these tasks:

1. Score image-text data in large-scale pre-training dataset and then filter high-quality subsets based on the scores (For training MLLMs or VLMs, please consider to jointly use the Image-Text Matching score and the Object Detail Fulfillment score);

2. Evaluate the image-text alignment for image2text or text2image generation models;

3. Any potential applications with the need to calculate the image-text alignment.


## Training dataset
- 46k instruction sampled from LLaVA-1.5 665k data.
- 4k instructions on image-text data quality assessment tasks ranging across 4 metrics.
