UniGame: Turning a Unified Multimodal Model Into Its Own Adversary

Overview | Installation | Quick Start | Citation

---

Official implementation of UniGame, a self-adversarial post-training framework for Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs).

Overview

UniGame is the first self-adversarial post-training framework that improves the consistency between understanding and generation pathways in Unified Multimodal Models. By treating the generation pathway as an active adversary, UniGame enables the model to discover and correct its own inconsistencies.

Quantitative Results:

Installation

Requirements

• Python >= 3.8
• PyTorch >= 2.0
• CUDA >= 11.8 (recommended)

Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/AIFrontierLab/UniGame.git
cd UniGame

# Create conda environment
conda create -n unigame python=3.11 -y
conda activate unigame

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick Start

1. Prepare Dataset

Download the VQAv2 dataset and update the path in main.py:

LOCAL_VQAV2 = "/path/to/your/vqav2"

2. Training

Single GPU:

python main.py

Multi-GPU (DDP):

torchrun --nproc_per_node=4 main.py

SLURM Cluster:

srun --gres=gpu:4 --cpus-per-task=16 torchrun --nproc_per_node=4 main.py
