The text outlines the advancements in Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) within Generative AI, emphasizing their unique ability to process various data formats including text, images, audio, and video. It elucidates the differences between LMMs and standard Computer Vision algorithms, and highlights the models like GPT4V and Vision Transformers as examples. These models aim to create a consistent representation across different data modalities.
Understanding the Vision Capabilities of Large Multimodal Models
Introduction to Large Multimodal Models (LMMs)
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) are a recent advancement in Generative AI that can process and generate various types of data, including text, images, audio, and video. They offer capabilities beyond traditional Large Language Models (LLMs) and have proven to be highly effective in tasks such as image captioning, visual question answering, and text-to-image synthesis.
Computer Vision (CV)
Computer Vision (CV) is a field of AI that enables computers to derive meaningful information from digital images and videos. It uses machine learning and neural networks to teach computers to see, observe, and understand. CV tasks include object recognition, event detection, 3D pose estimation, and image restoration.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
CNNs are a popular class of models used in computer vision. They perform tasks such as object detection, face recognition, and scene segmentation by applying the mathematical operation of convolution to process images.
Vision Transformers
Vision Transformers are an alternative to CNNs, utilizing the attention mechanism to process images. They divide images into patches, flatten them into 1D vectors, and tokenize them for further processing, allowing for a different approach to image understanding.
CLIP and LLaVA
Models like CLIP and LLaVA are designed to understand images and text together, creating a bridge between the two modalities. They enable tasks such as matching images with descriptive sentences and connecting image features with word embeddings.
Multi-Modal Language Models
Multi-Modal Language Models, such as MACAW-LLM, are capable of processing images, video, audio, and text data, creating a shared embedding space for different modalities and aligning them with word embeddings.
