• Abstract: Replicability in machine learning (ML) research is increasingly concerning due to the utilization of complex non-deterministic algorithms and the dependence on numerous hyper-parameter choices, such as model architecture and training datasets. Ensuring reproducible and replicable results is crucial for advancing the field, yet often requires significant technical effort to conduct systematic and well-organized experiments that yield robust conclusions. Several tools have been developed to facilitate experiment management and enhance reproducibility; however, they often introduce complexity that hinders adoption within the research community, despite being well-handled in industrial settings. To address the challenge of low adoption, we propose MLXP, an open-source, simple, and lightweight experiment management tool based on Python, available at https://github.com/inria-thoth/mlxp . MLXP streamlines the experimental process with minimal practitioner overhead while ensuring a high level of reproducibility.

  Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have recently received substantial interest, which shows their emerging potential as general-purpose models for various vision-language tasks. Retrieval augmentation techniques have proven to be effective plugins for both LLMs and MLLMs. In this study, we propose multimodal adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training (RA-BLIP), a novel retrieval-augmented framework for various MLLMs.
