Introduction

• We introduce InstructionGPT-4, which is fine-tuned on a small dataset comprising only 200 examples, amounting to approximately 6% of the instruction-following data used in the alignment dataset for MiniGPT-4.
• We first propose several metrics to access the quality of multimodal instruction data. Based on these metrics, we present an effective and trainable data selector to automatically identify and filter low-quality vision-language data. By employing this method, InstructionGPT-4 outperforms the original MiniGPT-4 on various evaluations.
• Our findings demonstrate that less but high-quality instruction tuning data is efficient to enable multimodal large language models to generate better output.

Getting Started

Prepare MiniGPT-4 Environment and Dataset

git clone https://github.com/Vision-CAIR/MiniGPT-4.git

Follow this doc to prepare the environment and download the cc_sbu_align dataset.

You also need to replace '/path/to' with your own path.

Compute Indicators

1. CLIP Score, Reward Score, Length Score, GPT Score

Fill in your openai key here.

Generate GPT Score:

cd cc_sbu_align_test
python generate_gpt_score.py
python convert_score.py

Generate CLIP Score, Reward Score and Length Score:

python full_score.py

2. Multimodal Features

cd selector
python utils_image.py
python utils_text.py
python get_all_image_features.py
python get_all_text_features.py

Compute Genuine Quality Labels

1. Split into 30 subsets

cd cluster/kmeans++
python kmeans_pp.py
python average.py
python image_show.py
python split.py
python image2cap.py

2. Evaluate to get the labels

Use each subset to fine-tune a new MiniGPT-4 model and follow this doc for evaluation. We choose GQA, IconQA, OKVQA and ScienceQA as the validation sets.

Data Selector

1. Training

cd selector
bash train.sh

2. Testing

Conduct clustering to ensure the diversity.

cd cluster/spectral
python spectral_clustering.py
python image_show.py

Select the final dataset for InstructionGPT-4

cd selector
bash eval_clus.sh

200 multimodal instruction data are selected here.

InstructionGPT-4 is fine-tuned from these 200 selected samples based on pre-trained MiniGPT-4.
