Scaling Laws for Conditional Emergence of Multilingual Image Captioning via Generalization from Translation

1.0B Model

The 1.0B model is built upon Microsoft's Florence-2-large and trained using a synthetic dataset. As a pre-trained version, its coverage across tasks and languages is currently limited. It supports image captioning in English and German, and facilitates multimodal machine translation from English to German, French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese.

Getting Started

python

import requests
from PIL import Image
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoConfig, AutoProcessor, AutoTokenizer


device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
torch_dtype = torch.float16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Spravil/caption-via-translation-1_0B", torch_dtype=torch_dtype, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "google/gemma-2-2b",
    add_bos_token=True,
    add_eos_token=True,
    padding_side="right",
    truncation_side="right",
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Spravil/caption-via-translation-1_0B", trust_remote_code=True, new_tokenizer=tokenizer, use_encoder_tokenizer=True)
task = "<MORE_DETAILED_CAPTION>"
lang = "de"
prompt = f"<LANG_{lang.upper()}>{task}"
url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers/tasks/car.jpg?download=true"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw).convert("RGB")
inputs = processor(prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt").to(device, torch_dtype)
generated_ids = model.generate(
            **inputs,
            max_new_tokens=128,
            num_beams=4,
            do_sample=False,
            use_cache=False,
        )
generated_text = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=False)[0]
parsed_answer = processor.post_process_generation(generated_text, task=task, image_size=(image.width, image.height))
print(parsed_answer)
