• Abstract: Large language models have shown their remarkable capabilities as a general interface for various language-related applications. Motivated by this, we target to build a unified interface for completing many vision-language tasks including image description, visual question answering, and visual grounding, among others. The challenge is to use a single model for performing diverse vision-language tasks effectively with simple multi-modal instructions. Towards this objective, we introduce MiniGPT-v2, a model that can be treated as a unified interface for better handling various vision-language tasks. We propose using unique identifiers for different tasks when training the model. These identifiers enable our model to better distinguish each task instruction effortlessly and also improve the model learning efficiency for each task. After the three-stage training, the experimental results show that MiniGPT-v2 achieves strong performance on many visual question-answering and visual grounding benchmarks compared to other vision-language generalist models. Our model and codes are available at https://minigpt-v2.github.io/

  Traditional computer vision generally solves each single task independently by a dedicated model with the task instruction implicitly designed in the model architecture. Visual Instruction Tuning (VIT) has been intensively studied recently, which finetunes a large vision model with language as task instructions. This work aims to provide a systematic review of visual instruction tuning, covering (1) the background that presents computer vision task paradigms and the development of VIT; (2) the foundations of VIT that introduce commonly used network architectures, visual instruction tuning frameworks and objectives, and evaluation setups and tasks; and (3) the commonly used datasets in visual instruction tuning and evaluation.

  Large language models have demonstrated robust performance on various language tasks using zero-shot or few-shot learning paradigms. multimodal models that can additionally handle images as input have yet to catch up in size and generality with language-only models. We make visual information accessible to the language model using separate verbalisation models.
