• Florence-2 Advancing a Unified Representation for a Variety of Vision Tasks (14 Nov 2023)
  

  This is my reading note for Florence-2: Advancing a Unified Representation for a Variety of Vision Tasks. This paper proposes to unify different vision tasks by formulating them as visual grounded text generation problem where vision task is specified as input text prompt. To this end, it annotates a large image dataset with different annotations.

• mPLUG-Owl2 Revolutionizing Multi-modal Large Language Model with Modality Collaboration (11 Nov 2023)
  

  This is my reading note for mPLUG-Owl2: Revolutionizing Multi-modal Large Language Model with Modality Collaboration. This paper proposes a method to unify visual and text data for multi modal model. To this end, it uses QFormer to extract visual information and concatenate to text and feed to LLM. However, it separates the projection layer and layer norm for visual and text. This paper is similar to COGVLM.

• CogVLM Visual Expert for Pretrained Language Models (10 Nov 2023)
  

  This is my reading note for CogVLM: Visual Expert for Pretrained Language Models. This paper proposes a vision language model similarly to mPLUG-OWL2. To avoid impacting the performance of LLM, it proposes a visual adapter which adds visual specific projection layer to each attention and feed forward layer.

• GIT A Generative Image-to-text Transformer for Vision and Language (16 Oct 2023)
  

  This is my reading note for GIT: A Generative Image-to-text Transformer for Vision and Language. This paper proposes a image-text pre-training model. The model contains visual encoder and text decoder; the text decoder is based on self-attention, which takes concatenated text tokens and visual tokens as input.

• PaLI-3 Vision Language Models Smaller, Faster, Stronger (15 Oct 2023)
  

  This is reading note for PaLI-3 Vision Language Models: Smaller, Faster, Stronger. This paper proposes to use image-text-matching to replace contrast loss. The experiment indicates this method is especially effective in relatively small models.

• PaLI A Jointly-Scaled Multilingual Language-Image Model (08 Jul 2023)
  

  This is my reading note for PaLI: A Jointly-Scaled Multilingual Language-Image Model. This paper formulates all the image-text pretraining tasks as visual question answering. The major contributions of this paper includes 1) shows balanced size of vision model and language model improves performances; 2) training with mixture of 8 tasks is important.
