Mixture-of-Transformers: A Sparse and Scalable Architecture for Multi-Modal Foundation Models
Weixin Liang, Lili Yu, Liang Luo +8
The development of large language models (LLMs) has expanded to multi-modal systems capable of processing text, images, and speech within a unified framework. Training these models…
Altogether: Image Captioning via Re-aligning Alt-text
Hu Xu, Po-Yao Huang, Xiaoqing Ellen Tan +10
This paper focuses on creating synthetic data to improve the quality of image captions. Existing works typically have two shortcomings. First, they caption images from scratch, ign…
Text Quality-Based Pruning for Efficient Training of Language Models
Vasu Sharma, Karthik Padthe, Newsha Ardalani +8
In recent times training Language Models (LMs) have relied on computationally heavy training over massive datasets which makes this training process extremely laborious. In this pa…
FLAP: Fast Language-Audio Pre-training
Ching-Feng Yeh, Po-Yao Huang, Vasu Sharma +2
We propose Fast Language-Audio Pre-training (FLAP), a self-supervised approach that efficiently and effectively learns aligned audio and language representations through masking, c…
Scaling Autoregressive Multi-Modal Models: Pretraining and Instruction Tuning
Lili Yu, Bowen Shi, Ramakanth Pasunuru +24
We present CM3Leon (pronounced "Chameleon"), a retrieval-augmented, token-based, decoder-only multi-modal language model capable of generating and infilling both text and images. C…
Demystifying CLIP Data
Hu Xu, Saining Xie, Xiaoqing Ellen Tan +7
Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) is an approach that has advanced research and applications in computer vision, fueling modern recognition systems and generative mode…
LIMA: Less Is More for Alignment
Chunting Zhou, Pengfei Liu, Puxin Xu +12
Large language models are trained in two stages: (1) unsupervised pretraining from raw text, to learn general-purpose representations, and (2) large scale instruction tuning and re…
CiT: Curation in Training for Effective Vision-Language Data
Hu Xu, Saining Xie, Po-Yao Huang +5
Large vision-language models are generally applicable to many downstream tasks, but come at an exorbitant training cost that only large institutions can afford. This paper trades g…
ALERT: Adapting Language Models to Reasoning Tasks
Ping Yu, Tianlu Wang, Olga Golovneva +6
Current large language models can perform reasonably well on complex tasks that require step-by-step reasoning with few-shot learning. Are these models applying reasoning skills th…
MAViL: Masked Audio-Video Learners
Po-Yao Huang, Vasu Sharma, Hu Xu +7
We present Masked Audio-Video Learners (MAViL) to train audio-visual representations. Our approach learns with three complementary forms of self-supervision: (1) reconstruction of…
CM3: A Causal Masked Multimodal Model of the Internet
Armen Aghajanyan, Bernie Huang, Candace Ross +8
We introduce CM3, a family of causally masked generative models trained over a large corpus of structured multi-modal documents that can contain both text and image tokens. Our new…
VideoCLIP: Contrastive Pre-training for Zero-shot Video-Text Understanding
Hu Xu, Gargi Ghosh, Po-Yao Huang +5
We present VideoCLIP, a contrastive approach to pre-train a unified model for zero-shot video and text understanding, without using any labels on downstream tasks. VideoCLIP trains…
HTLM: Hyper-Text Pre-Training and Prompting of Language Models
Armen Aghajanyan, Dmytro Okhonko, Mike Lewis +4
We introduce HTLM, a hyper-text language model trained on a large-scale web crawl. Modeling hyper-text has a number of advantages: (1) it is easily gathered at scale, (2) it provid…
VLM: Task-agnostic Video-Language Model Pre-training for Video Understanding
Hu Xu, Gargi Ghosh, Po-Yao Huang +5
We present a simplified, task-agnostic multi-modal pre-training approach that can accept either video or text input, or both for a variety of end tasks. Existing pre-training are t…
Multi-task Retrieval for Knowledge-Intensive Tasks
Jean Maillard, Vladimir Karpukhin, Fabio Petroni +4
Retrieving relevant contexts from a large corpus is a crucial step for tasks such as open-domain question answering and fact checking. Although neural retrieval outperforms traditi…
Pre-training via Paraphrasing
Mike Lewis, Marjan Ghazvininejad, Gargi Ghosh +3
We introduce MARGE, a pre-trained sequence-to-sequence model learned with an unsupervised multi-lingual multi-document paraphrasing objective. MARGE provides an alternative to the…
Optimizing Query Evaluations using Reinforcement Learning for Web Search
Corby Rosset, Damien Jose, Gargi Ghosh +2
In web search, typically a candidate generation step selects a small set of documents---from collections containing as many as billions of web pages---that are subsequently ranked…
