• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful general-purpose interfaces for many machine learning problems. Recent work has adapted LLMs to generative visual tasks like image captioning, visual question answering, and visual chat, using a relatively small amount of instruction-tuning data. In this paper, we explore whether modern LLMs can also be adapted to classifying an image into a set of categories. First, we evaluate multimodal LLMs that are tuned for generative tasks on zero-shot image classification and find that their performance is far below that of specialized models like CLIP. We then propose an approach for light fine-tuning of LLMs using the same contrastive image-caption matching objective as CLIP. Our results show that LLMs can, indeed, achieve good image classification performance when adapted this way. Our approach beats state-of-the-art mLLMs by 13% and slightly outperforms contrastive learning with a custom text model, while also retaining the LLM's generative abilities. LLM initialization appears to particularly help classification in domains under-represented in the visual pre-training data.

  We propose LLaFS, the first attempt to leverage large language models (LLMs) in few-shot segmentation. In contrast to the conventional few-shot segmentation methods that only rely on the limited and biased information from the annotated support images, LLaFS directly uses the LLM to segment images in a few-shot manner. LLaFS achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple datasets, showing the potential of using LLMs for few-shot computer vision tasks.

Our method, named LLM-Pruner, adopts structural pruning that selectively removes non-critical coupled structures.
