Qwen-VL 是阿里云研发的大规模视觉语言模型（Large Vision Language Model, LVLM）。Qwen-VL 可以以图像、文本、检测框作为输入，并以文本和检测框作为输出。Qwen-VL 系列模型性能强大，具备多语言对话、多图交错对话等能力，并支持中文开放域定位和细粒度图像识别与理解。

Qwen-VL (Qwen Large Vision Language Model) is the visual multimodal version of the large model series, Qwen (abbr. Tongyi Qianwen), proposed by Alibaba Cloud. Qwen-VL accepts image, text, and bounding box as inputs, outputs text and bounding box. The features of Qwen-VL include:

🤗 Transformers

To use Qwen-VL for the inference, all you need to do is to input a few lines of codes as demonstrated below. However, please make sure that you are using the latest code.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from transformers.generation import GenerationConfig
import torch
torch.manual_seed(1234)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL", trust_remote_code=True)

# use bf16
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True, bf16=True).eval()
# use fp16
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True, fp16=True).eval()
# use cpu only
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL", device_map="cpu", trust_remote_code=True).eval()
# use cuda device
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL", device_map="cuda", trust_remote_code=True).eval()

# Specify hyperparameters for generation (No need to do this if you are using transformers>=4.32.0)
# model.generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL", trust_remote_code=True)

query = tokenizer.from_list_format([
    {'image': 'https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-VL/assets/demo.jpeg'},
    {'text': 'Generate the caption in English with grounding:'},
])
inputs = tokenizer(query, return_tensors='pt')
inputs = inputs.to(model.device)
pred = model.generate(**inputs)
response = tokenizer.decode(pred.cpu()[0], skip_special_tokens=False)
print(response)
# <img>https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-VL/assets/demo.jpeg</img>Generate the caption in English with grounding:<ref> Woman</ref><box>(451,379),(731,806)</box> and<ref> her dog</ref><box>(219,424),(576,896)</box> playing on the beach<|endoftext|>
image = tokenizer.draw_bbox_on_latest_picture(response)
if image:
  image.save('2.jpg')
else:

评测

我们从两个角度评测了两个模型的能力：

1. 在英文标准 Benchmark 上评测模型的基础任务能力。目前评测了四大类多模态任务：

   • Zero-shot Caption: 评测模型在未见过数据集上的零样本图片描述能力；
   • General VQA: 评测模型的通用问答能力，例如判断题、颜色、个数、类目等问答能力；
   • Text-based VQA：评测模型对于图片中文字相关的识别/问答能力，例如文档问答、图表问答、文字问答等；
   • Referring Expression Compression：评测模型给定物体描述画检测框的能力；

2. 试金石 (TouchStone)：为了评测模型整体的图文对话能力和人类对齐水平。我们为此构建了一个基于 GPT4 打分来评测 LVLM 模型的 Benchmark：TouchStone。在 TouchStone-v0.1 中：

   • 评测基准总计涵盖 300+张图片、800+道题目、27个类别。包括基础属性问答、人物地标问答、影视作品问答、视觉推理、反事实推理、诗歌创作、故事写作，商品比较、图片解题等尽可能广泛的类别。
   • 为了弥补目前 GPT4 无法直接读取图片的缺陷，我们给所有的带评测图片提供了人工标注的充分详细描述，并且将图片的详细描述、问题和模型的输出结果一起交给 GPT4 打分。
   • 评测同时包含英文版本和中文版本。

评测结果如下：

We evaluated the model's ability from two perspectives:

1. Standard Benchmarks: We evaluate the model's basic task capabilities on four major categories of multimodal tasks:

   • Zero-shot Caption: Evaluate model's zero-shot image captioning ability on unseen datasets;
   • General VQA: Evaluate the general question-answering ability of pictures, such as the judgment, color, number, category, etc;
   • Text-based VQA: Evaluate the model's ability to recognize text in pictures, such as document QA, chart QA, etc;
   • Referring Expression Comprehension: Evaluate the ability to localize a target object in an image described by a referring expression.

2. TouchStone: To evaluate the overall text-image dialogue capability and alignment level with humans, we have constructed a benchmark called TouchStone, which is based on scoring with GPT4 to evaluate the LVLM model.

   • The TouchStone benchmark covers a total of 300+ images, 800+ questions, and 27 categories. Such as attribute-based Q&A, celebrity recognition, writing poetry, summarizing multiple images, product comparison, math problem solving, etc;
   • In order to break the current limitation of GPT4 in terms of direct image input, TouchStone provides fine-grained image annotations by human labeling. These detailed annotations, along with the questions and the model's output, are then presented to GPT4 for scoring.
   • The benchmark includes both English and Chinese versions.

The results of the evaluation are as follows:

Qwen-VL outperforms current SOTA generalist models on multiple VL tasks and has a more comprehensive coverage in terms of capability range.

• 在 Zero-shot Caption 中，Qwen-VL 在 Flickr30K 数据集上取得了 SOTA 的结果，并在 Nocaps 数据集上取得了和 InstructBlip 可竞争的结果。
• 在 General VQA 中，Qwen-VL 取得了 LVLM 模型同等量级和设定下 SOTA 的结果。
• For zero-shot image captioning, Qwen-VL achieves the SOTA on Flickr30K and competitive results on Nocaps with InstructBlip.
• For general VQA, Qwen-VL achieves the SOTA under the same generalist LVLM scale settings.

• 在文字相关的识别/问答评测上，取得了当前规模下通用 LVLM 达到的最好结果。
• 分辨率对上述某几个评测非常重要，大部分 224 分辨率的开源 LVLM 模型无法完成以上评测，或只能通过切图的方式解决。Qwen-VL 将分辨率提升到 448，可以直接以端到端的方式进行以上评测。Qwen-VL 在很多任务上甚至超过了 1024 分辨率的 Pic2Struct-Large 模型。
• In text-related recognition/QA evaluation, Qwen-VL achieves the SOTA under the generalist LVLM scale settings.
• Resolution is important for several above evaluations. While most open-source LVLM models with 224 resolution are incapable of these evaluations or can only solve these by cutting images, Qwen-VL scales the resolution to 448 so that it can be evaluated end-to-end. Qwen-VL even outperforms Pic2Struct-Large models of 1024 resolution on some tasks.

• 在定位任务上，Qwen-VL 全面超过 Shikra-13B，取得了目前 Generalist LVLM 模型上在 Refcoco 上的 SOTA。
• Qwen-VL 并没有在任何中文定位数据上训练过，但通过中文 Caption 数据和 英文 Grounding 数据的训练，可以 Zero-shot 泛化出中文 Grounding 能力。

我们提供了以上所有评测脚本以供复现我们的实验结果。请阅读 eval/EVALUATION.md 了解更多信息。

• Qwen-VL achieves the SOTA in all above referring expression comprehension benchmarks.
• Qwen-VL has not been trained on any Chinese grounding data, but it can still generalize to the Chinese Grounding tasks in a zero-shot way by training Chinese Caption data and English Grounding data.

We provide all of the above evaluation scripts for reproducing our experimental results. Please read eval/EVALUATION.md for more information.
