🚀 Dataset

Dataset construction pipeline

1. Data processing: extracting essential information from collected data, including metadata integration to generate coarse captions, ROI locating, and medical knowledge collection.
2. Multigranular textual description generation: using this information to prompt MLLMs to generate fine-grained captions.

💬 Quick Start

Install

Using Linux system,

1. Clone this repository and navigate to the folder

git clone https://github.com/UCSC-VLAA/MedTrinity-25M.git

2. Install Package

conda create -n llava-med++ python=3.10 -y
conda activate llava-med++
pip install --upgrade pip  # enable PEP 660 support
pip install -e .

3. Install additional packages for training cases

pip install -e ".[train]"
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
pip install git+https://github.com/bfshi/scaling_on_scales.git
pip install multimedeval

Upgrade to latest code base

git pull
pip install -e .

# if you see some import errors when you upgrade,
# please try running the command below (without #)
# pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation --no-cache-dir

🤖 Model-Zoo

The following table provides an overview of the available models in our zoo. For each model, you can find links to its Hugging Face page or Google drive folder.

Train and Eval LLaMA-Med++

First, you need to download the base model LLaVA-Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-FT-S2 and download the stage1 and stage2 datasets in the LLaVA-Med.

1. Pre-train

# stage1 training
cd MedTrinity-25M
bash ./scripts/med/llava3_med_stage1.sh

# stage2 training
bash ./scripts/med/llava3_med_stage2.sh

2. Finetune

cd MedTrinity-25M
bash ./scripts/med/llava3_med_finetune.sh

3. Eval
   First, you need to download corresponding weight from Model-Zoo and change the path in evaluation script. Then run:

cd MedTrinity-25M
bash ./scripts/med/llava3_med_eval_batch_vqa_rad.sh

Here is the evaluation suite of VQA-RAD, PathVQA, and SLAKE. [https://huggingface.co/yunfeixie/MedTrinity-25M-evalsuite](https://huggingface.co/yunfeixie/MedTrinity-25M-evalsuite
