Dear Emu2 Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to discuss the potential for integrating domain-specific knowledge into the Emu2 framework to further enhance its multimodal learning capabilities. As a researcher deeply invested in the intersection of AI and specialised domains, I am particularly interested in how Emu2 could be tailored to understand and generate content within specific fields such as medical imaging, legal document analysis, or engineering design.

The impressive in-context learning abilities and the state-of-the-art performance of Emu2 on various benchmarks suggest that it has a robust foundation for such an expansion. However, the nuances and complexities of domain-specific data present unique challenges that may require additional fine-tuning or the incorporation of expert knowledge bases.

Could you please shed light on the following aspects:

  1. The feasibility of fine-tuning Emu2 with domain-specific datasets, and whether there are any existing efforts or planned updates in this direction.
  2. The potential for Emu2 to interface with external knowledge bases or ontologies that could provide a structured understanding of domain-specific terminology and concepts.
  3. Any considerations or recommendations you might have for researchers looking to adapt Emu2 for specialised applications, including but not limited to, data preparation, model training, and evaluation metrics.

I believe that enhancing Emu2's capabilities with domain-specific intelligence could open up new frontiers for applied AI research and practical applications. I am eager to explore collaborative opportunities or contribute to the ongoing development efforts to realise this vision.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your insights and guidance on this matter.

Best regards,

Hi @yihong1120,

Thank you for sharing your insights and demonstrating interest in Emu2's capabilities. Emu2, being a multimodal foundational model, indeed possesses the flexibility for fine-tuning with domain-specific knowledge. Your suggestion of integrating Emu2 with external knowledge bases aligns with its potential for broader applications, such as RAG.

Regarding RAG's relevance in the context of LLM, it's indeed an emerging area. To the best of our knowledge, comprehensive research on RAG within multimodal models remains limited. However, at present, our team's bandwidth is constrained, making it challenging to pursue this avenue immediately.

Nevertheless, we wholeheartedly encourage developers to explore and utilize Emu2 across various domains and applications. Your engagement and innovative ideas contribute significantly to advancing the field.
