OFA

[Paper] [Blog] [Colab]

OFA is a unified multimodal pretrained model that unifies modalities (i.e., cross-modality, vision, language) and tasks (e.g., image generation, visual grounding, image captioning, image classification, text generation, etc.) to a simple sequence-to-sequence learning framework. For more information, please refer to our paper: Unifying Architectures, Tasks, and Modalities Through a Simple Sequence-to-Sequence Learning Framework.

We plan to release the code and colab notebooks soon (Feb. 2022).

Approach

Examples

Below we provide examples of OFA in text-to-image generation and open-ended VQA. Also, we demonstrate its performance in unseen task (Grounded QA) as well as unseen domain (Visual Grounding on images from unseen domains).

Text-to-Image Generation (normal query)

Text-to-Image Generation (counterfactual query)

Open-Ended VQA

Grounded QA (unseen task)

Viusal Grounding (unseen domain)
