Video-ChatGPT Overview :bulb:

Video-ChatGPT is a video conversation model capable of generating meaningful conversation about videos. It combines the capabilities of LLMs with a pretrained visual encoder adapted for spatiotemporal video representation.

Contributions :trophy:

• We introduce 100K high-quality video-instruction pairs together with a novel annotation framework that is scalable and generates a diverse range of video-specific instruction sets of high-quality.
• We develop the first quantitative video conversation evaluation framework for benchmarking video conversation models.
• Unique multimodal (vision-language) capability combining video understanding and language generation that is comprehensively evaluated using quantitative and qualitiative comparisons on video reasoning, creativitiy, spatial and temporal understanding, and action recognition tasks.

Installation :wrench:

We recommend setting up a conda environment for the project:

conda create --name=video_chatgpt python=3.10
conda activate video_chatgpt

git clone https://github.com/mbzuai-oryx/Video-ChatGPT.git
cd Video-ChatGPT
pip install -r requirements.txt

export PYTHONPATH="./:$PYTHONPATH"

Additionally, install FlashAttention for training,

pip install ninja

git clone https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention.git
cd flash-attention
git checkout v1.0.7
python setup.py install

Running Demo Offline :cd:

To run the demo offline, please refer to the instructions in offline_demo.md.

Training :train:

For training instructions, check out train_video_chatgpt.md.

Video Instruction Dataset :open_file_folder:

We are releasing our 100,000 high-quality video instruction dataset that was used for training our Video-ChatGPT model. You can download the dataset from here. More details on our human-assisted and semi-automatic annotation framework for generating the data are available at VideoInstructionDataset.md.

Quantitative Evaluation :bar_chart:

Our paper introduces a new Quantitative Evaluation Framework for Video-based Conversational Models. To explore our benchmarks and understand the framework in greater detail, please visit our dedicated website: https://mbzuai-oryx.github.io/Video-ChatGPT.

For detailed instructions on performing quantitative evaluation, please refer to QuantitativeEvaluation.md.

Video-based Generative Performance Benchmarking and Zero-Shot Question-Answer Evaluation tables are provided for a detailed performance overview.
