InstructBLIP

##
Overview

The InstructBLIP model was proposed in InstructBLIP: Towards General-purpose Vision-Language Models with Instruction Tuning by Wenliang Dai, Junnan Li, Dongxu Li, Anthony Meng Huat Tiong, Junqi Zhao, Weisheng Wang, Boyang Li, Pascale Fung, Steven Hoi. InstructBLIP leverages the BLIP-2 architecture for visual instruction tuning.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

General-purpose language models that can solve various language-domain tasks have emerged driven by the pre-training and instruction-tuning pipeline. However, building general-purpose vision-language models is challenging due to the increased task discrepancy introduced by the additional visual input. Although vision-language pre-training has been widely studied, vision-language instruction tuning remains relatively less explored. In this paper, we conduct a systematic and comprehensive study on vision-language instruction tuning based on the pre-trained BLIP-2 models. We gather a wide variety of 26 publicly available datasets, transform them into instruction tuning format and categorize them into two clusters for held-in instruction tuning and held-out zero-shot evaluation. Additionally, we introduce instruction-aware visual feature extraction, a crucial method that enables the model to extract informative features tailored to the given instruction. The resulting InstructBLIP models achieve state-of-the-art zero-shot performance across all 13 held-out datasets, substantially outperforming BLIP-2 and the larger Flamingo. Our models also lead to state-of-the-art performance when finetuned on individual downstream tasks (e.g., 90.7% accuracy on ScienceQA IMG). Furthermore, we qualitatively demonstrate the advantages of InstructBLIP over concurrent multimodal models.

Usage tips

InstructBLIP uses the same architecture as BLIP-2 with a tiny but important difference: it also feeds the text prompt (instruction) to the Q-Former.

InstructBlipConfig

class transformers.InstructBlipConfig

< source >

( vision_config = None qformer_config = None text_config = None num_query_tokens = 32 **kwargs )

Parameters

- vision_config (`dict`, optional) — Dictionary of configuration options used to initialize InstructBlipVisionConfig.
- qformer_config (`dict`, optional) — Dictionary of configuration options used to initialize InstructBlipQFormerConfig.
- text_config (`dict`, optional) — Dictionary of configuration options used to initialize any PretrainedConfig.
- num_query_tokens (`int`, optional, defaults to 32) — The number of query tokens passed through the Transformer.

InstructBlipConfig is the configuration class to store the configuration of a InstructBlipForConditionalGeneration. It is used to instantiate a InstructBLIP model according to the specified arguments, defining the vision model, Q-Former model and language model configs. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the InstructBLIP Salesforce/instruct-blip-flan-t5 architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

    >>> from transformers import (
    ...     InstructBlipVisionConfig,
    ...     InstructBlipQFormerConfig,
    ...     OPTConfig,
    ...     InstructBlipConfig,
    ...     InstructBlipForConditionalGeneration,
    ... )

    >>> # Initializing a InstructBlipConfig with Salesforce/instruct-blip-flan-t5 style configuration
    >>> configuration = InstructBlipConfig()

    >>> # Initializing a InstructBlipForConditionalGeneration (with random weights) from the Salesforce/instruct-blip-flan-t5 style configuration
    >>> model = InstructBlipForConditionalGeneration(configuration)

    >>> # Accessing the model configuration
    >>> configuration = model.config

    >>> # We can also initialize a InstructBlipConfig from a InstructBlipVisionConfig, InstructBlipQFormerConfig and any PretrainedConfig

    >>> # Initializing InstructBLIP vision, InstructBLIP Q-Former and language model configurations
    >>> vision_config = InstructBlipVisionConfig()
    >>> qformer_config = InstructBlipQFormerConfig()
    >>> text_config = OPTConfig()

    >>> config = InstructBlipConfig.from_text_vision_configs(vision_config, qformer_config, text_config)

Parameters

- pixel_values (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)`) — Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using InstructBlipProcessor. See `InstructBlipProcessor.__call__()` for details.
- output_attentions (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned tensors for more detail.
- output_hidden_states (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for more detail.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.
- interpolate_pos_encoding (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether to interpolate the pre-trained position encodings.

Returns

transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPooling or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`

A transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPooling or a tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (`<class 'transformers.models.instructblip.configuration_instructblip.InstructBlipVisionConfig'>`) and inputs.

- last_hidden_state (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

- pooler_output (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, hidden_size)`) — Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) after further processing through the layers used for the auxiliary pretraining task. E.g. for BERT-family of models, this returns the classification token after processing through a linear layer and a tanh activation function. The linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.

- hidden_states (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, optional, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) — Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

The InstructBlipVisionModel forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module` instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

( config: InstructBlipConfig )

Parameters

- config (InstructBlipConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

InstructBLIP Model for generating text given an image and an optional text prompt. The model consists of a vision encoder, Querying Transformer (Q-Former) and a language model.

One can optionally pass `input_ids` to the model, which serve as a text prompt, to make the language model continue the prompt. Otherwise, the language model starts generating text from the [BOS] (beginning-of-sequence) token.

This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

    The unusual aspect of this image is that a man is ironing clothes on the back of a yellow SUV, which is parked in the middle of a busy city street. This is an unconventional approach to ironing clothes, as it requires the man to balance himself and his ironing equipment on top of the vehicle while navigating through traffic. Additionally, the presence of taxis and other vehicles in the scene further emphasizes the unusual nature of this situation.
