Stability AI has released its first Japanese vision-language model, Japanese InstructBLIP Alpha. It can generate textual descriptions for input images as well as generate answers to questions given images.
Japanese InstructBLIP Alpha is a vision-language model that enables conditional text generation given images, built upon the Japanese large language model Japanese StableLM Instruct Alpha 7B that was recently released.
Figure1. Output: “Two persons sitting on a bench looking at Mt.Fuji”
The Japanese InstructBLIP Alpha leverages the InstructBLIP architecture, which has shown remarkable performance in various vision-language datasets. To make a high-performance model with a limited Japanese dataset, we initialized a part of the model with pre-trained InstructBLIP trained on large English datasets. We then fine-tuned this initialized model using the limited Japanese dataset.
Examples of applications of this model include search engine given images, a description/QA of the scene, and a textual description of the image for blind people, etc.
In addition to generating Japanese text, the Japanese InstructBLIP Alpha has the capability to accurately recognize Japan-specific objects (such as Tokyo Skytree or Kinkaku-ji).
Figure2. Output: “Sakura and Tokyo Skytree
Figure3. Output: “Kinkakuji temple in Kyoto”
Furthermore, input can also include text, such as a question. For example, as shown in the example below, it can answer questions about input images.
Figure4. Prompt: “What are the speed limits written on the road?”, Output: “30km/h”
Figure5. Prompt: “Which is the larger one?”, Output: “Left one”
Figure6. Prompt: “What color is the yukata of the person on the right?”, Output: “purple”
The model is available on Hugging Face Hub and can be tested for inference and additional training. For more information, please visit the Hugging Face hub pages linked below:
