BLIP-2: Scalable Pre-training of Multimodal Foundation Models for the World's First Open-source Multimodal Chatbot

TL;DR: LAVIS (short for LAnguage-VISion) is an open-source deep learning library for language-vision research and applications, offering comprehensive support for a wide range of tasks, datasets, and state-of-the-art models. Featuring a unified interface and modular design, it’s easy to use off-the-shelf and to extend with new capabilities. With

TL;DR: We propose ALPRO, a new video-and-language representation learning framework which achieves state-of-the-art performance on video-text retrieval and video question answering by learning fine-grained alignment between video regions and textual entities via entity prompts. For more background (a review of key concepts used in this post), please see the

TL;DR: BLIP is a new pre-training framework for unified vision-language understanding and generation, which achieves state-of-the-art results on a wide range of vision-language tasks. Background For a review of some terms and definitions used in this blog, see our Appendix. Vision and language, two of the most fundamental methods

> TL; DR: We propose a new vision-language representation learning framework which achieves state-of-the-art performance by first aligning the unimodal representations before fusing them. Vision and language are two of the most fundamental channels for humans to perceive the world. It has been a long-standing goal in AI to build intelligent

> TL; DR: We propose a new semi-supervised learning method which achieves state-of-the-art performance by learning jointly-evolved class probabilities and image representations. What are the existing semi-supervised learning methods? Semi-supervised learning aims to leverage few labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data. As a long-standing and widely-studied topic in

> TL; DR: We propose a new webly-supervised learning method which achieves state-of-the-art representation learning performance by training on large amounts of freely available noisy web images. Deep neural networks are known to be hungry for labeled data. Current state-of-the-art CNNs are trained with supervised learning on datasets such as ImageNet

Prototypical Contrastive Learning unifies clustering and contrastive self-supervised learning to push the frontiers of unsupervised learning.
