Img-Diff: A Novel Dataset for Enhancing Multimodal Language Models through Contrastive Learning and Image Difference Analysis

Practical Solutions and Value of Img-Diff Dataset

Enhancing Multimodal Language Models

Multimodal Language Models (MLLMs) have evolved to improve text-image interactions through various techniques. Models like Flamingo, IDEFICS, BLIP-2, and Qwen-VL use learnable queries, while LLaVA and MGM employ projection-based interfaces. LLaMA-Adapter and LaVIN focus on parameter-efficient tuning.

Datasets significantly impact MLLM effectiveness, with recent studies refining visual instruction tuning datasets to enhance performance across question-answering tasks. High-quality fine-tuning datasets with extensive task diversity excel in image perception, reasoning, and OCR tasks.

The Img-Diff dataset emphasizes image difference analysis, augmenting MLLMs’ VQA proficiency and object localization capabilities. It builds upon foundational works in the field and outperforms state-of-the-art models on various image difference and VQA tasks, highlighting the importance of high-quality data and evolving model architectures in improving MLLM performance.

The researchers developed the Img-Diff dataset through a systematic approach, creating 118,000 image pairs and fine-tuning state-of-the-art MLLMs like LLaVA-1.5-7B and MGM-7B to improve performance on image difference tasks and VQA challenges.

LLaVA-1.5-7B and MGM-7B achieved new state-of-the-art scores on the Image-Editing-Request benchmark. The study emphasizes the effectiveness of targeted, high-quality datasets in improving MLLMs’ capabilities and encourages further exploration in fine-grained image recognition and multimodal learning.
