• Abstract: Transformer models trained on massive text corpora have become the de facto models for a wide range of natural language processing tasks. However, learning effective word representations for function words remains challenging. Multimodal learning, which visually grounds transformer models in imagery, can overcome the challenges to some extent; however, there is still much work to be done. In this study, we explore the extent to which visual grounding facilitates the acquisition of function words using stable diffusion models that employ multimodal models for text-to-image generation. Out of seven categories of function words, along with numerous subcategories, we find that stable diffusion models effectively model only a small fraction of function words -- a few pronoun subcategories and relatives. We hope that our findings will stimulate the development of new datasets and approaches that enable multimodal models to learn better representations of function words.

  We introduce TextBind, an almost annotation-free framework for empowering larger language models with the multi-turn interleaved instruction-following capabilities. Our approach requires only image-caption pairs and generates multi-turn multimodal instruction-response conversations from a language model. To accommodate interleaved image-text inputs and outputs, we devise MIM, a language model-centric architecture that seamlessly integrates image encoder and decoder models.
