R1-SGG-7B-PSG

Model Description

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

An end-to-end multimodal LLM for Scene Graph Generation (SGG), which was introduced in Compile Scene Graphs with Reinforcement Learning

R1-SGG: Compile Scene Graphs with Reinforcement Learning

Structured Visual Reasoning with Multimodal LLMs and Reinforcement Learning

🚀 Update

• ✅ R1-SGG-7B, R1-SGG-Zero-7B
• ✅ Support PSG dataset (bbox format only, not Panoptic)
• ✅ Updated loss implementation
• ✅ Always use custom_per_device_train_batch_size instead of per_device_train_batch_size for faster sampling under gradient accumulation
• ⚠️ Current loss implementation might still be affected by gradient accumulation: trl issue #3021

🛠️ Setup Environment

bash install.sh

Main dependencies:

- torch == 2.5.0 or 2.5.1 (cu124, optional)
- transformers (supports Qwen2VL, Qwen2.5VL)
- trl
- vLLM

---

📚 Dataset

Load preprocessed datasets via:

from datasets import load_dataset

db_train = load_dataset("JosephZ/vg150_train_sgg_prompt")["train"]
db_val = load_dataset("JosephZ/vg150_val_sgg_prompt")["train"]

or for PSG:

db_train = load_dataset("JosephZ/psg_train_sg")["train"]  # keys: image_id, image, objects, relationships
db_val = load_dataset("JosephZ/psg_test_sg")["train"]

We transformed VG150 into HuggingFace Datasets format with keys:

• image_id
• image
• prompt_open
• prompt_close
• objects
• relationships

🏋️‍♂️ Training

Training with Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)

For SLURM users:

sbatch scripts/sft/7B_sgg.sh 

For local machines:

bash scripts/sft_local/7B_sgg.sh

⏱️ Approximate training time:

• 2B models: ~4 hours (4×A100 SXM4 GPUs)
• 7B models: ~10 hours (4×A100 SXM4 GPUs)

---

Training with Reinforcement Learning (GRPO)

** Update (11/05/2025): to use "Hard Recall"**:

--reward_funcs format_reward edge_hard_reward 

For A100 GPUs:

sbatch scripts/grpo/train_a100_2B.sh

(12 hours on 16×A100 GPUs)

For GH200 GPUs:

sbatch scripts/grpo/train_gh200.sh

(16 hours on 16×GH200 GPUs)

For clusters with many RTX_3090/4090 GPUs:

sbatch scripts/grpo/train_fused.sh

• Training 7B models on 24GB cards is possible with Zero3, but slow due to communication bottlenecks.
• (Fun fact: training with 120×RTX_4090 is crazy but severely limited by communication latency.)

💡 Recommended learning rate: 6e-7.

🧪 Inference and Evaluation

Inference with SFT-trained models:

bash scripts/inference/run_sgg_inference.sh $DATASET $MODEL_NAME $OUTPUT_DIR

For models trained with predefined categories, add true:

bash scripts/inference/run_sgg_inference.sh $DATASET $MODEL_NAME $OUTPUT_DIR true

Inference with GRPO-trained models:

bash scripts/inference/run_sgg_inference.sh $DATASET $MODEL_NAME $OUTPUT_DIR false/true true

Evaluation:

DATASET_TYPE=vg # or psg
python src/sgg_gather_preds.py $DATASET_TYPE $OUTPUT_DIR sgg_pred_results.json
python src/vg150_eval.py $DATASET sgg_pred_results.json
