Installation

Set Up Python Environment:

Follow the instructions to install the same Python environment as used by LLaVA.

conda create -n llara python=3.10 -y
conda activate llara
conda install pytorch==2.1.2 torchvision==0.16.2 torchaudio==2.1.2 pytorch-cuda=12.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia
conda install cuda=12.1 cuda-compiler=12.1 cuda-nvcc=12.1 cuda-version=12.1 -c nvidia

Install Revised LLaVA:

Navigate to train-llava in this repo and install the llava package there:
```
cd train-llava && pip install -e ".[train]"
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
```

Install VIMABench:

Complete the setup for VIMABench.

git clone https://github.com/vimalabs/VimaBench && cd VimaBench
pip install -e .

Demo

Download the Pretrained Model:

Download the following model to ./checkpoints/
- llava-1.5-7b-D-inBC + Aux(B) trained on VIMA-80k Hugging Face
More models are available at Model Zoo

Run the evaluation:

cd eval
# evaluate the model with oracle object detector
python3 eval-llara.py D-inBC-AuxB-VIMA-80k --model-path ../checkpoints/llava-1.5-7b-llara-D-inBC-Aux-B-VIMA-80k --prompt-mode hso

# the results will be saved to ../results/[hso]D-inBC-AuxB-VIMA-80k.json

Check the results: Please refer to llara-result.ipynb

Quick Start Guide

Minuiment Hardware Requirement:
- Inference: Requires at least one GPU with a minimum of 24GB RAM.
- Training: Requires a system with at least 300GB of system RAM and four Ampere (or newer) GPUs, each equipped with a minimum of 24GB of memory.
Prepare the Dataset:

Visit the datasets directory to prepare your dataset for training.
Finetune a LLaVA Model:

To start finetuning a LLaVA model, refer to the instructions in train-llava.
Evaluate the Trained Model:

Follow the steps in eval to assess the performance of your trained model.
Train a MaskRCNN for Object Detection:

If you want to train a MaskRCNN for object detection, check out train-maskrcnn for detailed steps.
