PVIT model
This is the model weights of paper: Position-Enhanced Visual Instruction Tuning for Multimodal Large Language Models.
Model description
Position-enhanced Visual Instruction Tuning (PVIT) extends the MLLM by incorporating an additional region-level vision encoder to facilitate support for region-based inputs. Specifically, we adopt the vision encoder from RegionCLIP and utilize it to extract region-level features by taking images and regions as inputs. As an additional source of information, the incorporation of region-level features in this way has a minimal impact on the original MLLM. Furthermore, since the features provided by RegionCLIP are themselves already aligned to the language at a fine-grained level, the overhead of aligning it to the MLLM will be relatively small. Following LLaVA, we design a two-stage training strategy for PVIT that first pre-training a linear projection to align the region features to the LLM word embedding, followed by end-to-end fine-tuning to follow complex fine-grained instructions.
