ChartGemma: A Multimodal Model Instruction-Tuned on Data Generated Directly from a Diverse Range of Real-World Chart Images

Practical AI Solutions for Chart Understanding

ChartGemma: A Breakthrough in Chart Understanding and Reasoning

Charts are vital in various fields, but current models for chart understanding have limitations. They often rely on data tables rather than visual patterns and use weakly aligned vision-language models, limiting their effectiveness with complex charts. ChartGemma is an advanced chart understanding and reasoning model developed by researchers from York University, MILA – Quebec AI Institute, Salesforce Research, and Nanyang Technological University. Unlike existing models, ChartGemma is trained on data generated directly from chart images, capturing detailed visual information. It achieves state-of-the-art results in chart summarization, question answering, and fact-checking across five benchmarks, making it highly effective for real-world chart analysis.

ChartGemma’s Innovative Approach

ChartGemma uses the PaliGemma architecture, featuring the SigLIP vision encoder and the Gemma-2B language model. It employs a single-stage training approach, directly fine-tuning instruction-tuning data, which allows for better adaptability and generalization. ChartGemma outperforms other models on most tasks, demonstrating superior generalization, especially in understanding realistic instructions and complex charts, despite its relatively small size.

Value of ChartGemma

ChartGemma addresses key shortcomings of current models by using actual chart images, enhancing adaptability and generalizability. It significantly improves performance, producing more realistic, informative, and factually correct outputs with a smaller parameter count.
