🐇 Self-Supervised Visual Preference Alignment

Accepted by MM2024 (oral presentation)!

We make the first attempt towards unsupervised preference alignment in Large Vision-Language Models.

The whole pipeline do not need any GPT-4 or humman annotated labels in preference alignment. Paper

This package is developed by Ke Zhu (http://www.lamda.nju.edu.cn/zhuk/) and is free for academic usage. You can run it at your own risk. For other purposes, please contact Xiangyu Zhang (mail to zhangxiangyu@megvii.com).

• Install
• Dataset
• SeVa pipeline
• Model
• Training
• Evaluation

Install

First, clone this repo and navigate to SeVa folder:

git clone https://github.com/Kevinz-code/SeVa.git
cd SeVa

Then create a conda environment and install packages

conda create -n seva python==3.9 -y
conda activate seva
pip install torch==2.0.1 torchvision==0.15.2
pip install -e .

Dataset

We expect the image dataset to have the following structure:

data/
|-- texvqa/
|---- train_images/
......
|-- ocrvqa/
|---- images/
......
|-- coco2014/
|---- val2014/

In which texvqa and ocrvqa are used for DPO data generation, coco2014 are optionally required for quick evalutation in POPE benchmark. You can download textvqa and coco2014 images in their official website. For ocrvqa images, download them using ocrvqa scripts (following LLaVA).

SeVa Pipeline

We have included a detailed DPO data construction pipeline in `data/' folder, with step1, step2 and step3. Refer to README

|-- README.md

Model

Below are three SeVa models using 3 different DPO data source (Diffusion-steps500, Diffusion-steps800 and MOCO augmentaions). Standard deviation exists in some benchmarks (e.g., MM-Vet and LLaVA-Bench).

Version	Augmentation	LLM	Schedule	Checkpoint	LLaVA-Bench	MM-Vet	MMB	MMB-CN	POPE	SEED	SHR (↓)	SQA	GQA
SeVa-7B	Diffusion500	Vicuna-7B	lora_ft	kevinke/seva-7b-diffu500	70.7	35.5	64.7	58.8	86.8	65.8	32.7	67.4	61.1
SeVa-7B	Diffusion800	Vicuna-7B	lora_ft	kevinke/seva-7b-diffu800	72.2	37.2	65.6	59.2	86.7	65.8	34.9	67.5	60.7
SeVa-7B	MOCO	Vicuna-7B	lora_ft	kevinke/seva-7b-moco	72.5	37.0	65.2	59.8	86.6	65.5	32.9	67.1	60.9

Training

You need to first download weights of LLaVA-v1.5-7b.

For running with DPO data sourced from Diffusion noise (step=500):

sh run/llava1.5_lora_our_ocr8k_diffu500_text8k_diffu500.sh

For running with DPO data sourced from Diffusion noise (step=800):

sh run/llava1.5_lora_our_ocr8k_diffu800_text8k_diffu800.sh

Evaluation

Here we provide an evaluation on POPE benchmark, to help you get a quick evaluation of your models.

For models trained with diffusion steps500 DPO data, run

sh run/eval_pope_diffu500.sh

For models trained with diffusion steps800 DPO data, run

sh run/eval_pope_diffu800.sh

note: our evaluation are based on llava1.1.x version of its code repository

Refer to LLaVa-1.5 for a comprehension evaluation of multiple Benchmarks.
