Bootstrapping Vision-Language Learning with Decoupled Language Pre-training

This repo covers implementations of BLIP2 with Pformer in Bootstrapping Vision-Language Learning with Decoupled Language Pre-training. The paper is accepted to NeurIPS 2023. The code is developed based on LAVIS project (cloned on Feb 23, 2023).

We mainly add following files in lavis/models/blip2_models:

• [x] blip2_pformer_opt.py
• [x] blip2_pformer_t5.py
• [x] blip2_pformer.py
• [x] pformer_opt.py
• [x] pformer_t5.py

We also edit lavis/models/base_model.py to allow training from scratch, and include new dataset and dataloader in lavis/datasets of pure sentence dataset for training P-Former.

Installation

conda create -n lavis python=3.8
conda activate lavis
pip install -e .

pip install torch==1.13.1+cu117 torchvision==0.14.1+cu117 torchaudio==0.13.1 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117

Data Preparation

Please follow instructions from LAVIS to download pre-training datasets.
