Video-LLaMA: An Instruction-tuned Audio-Visual Language Model for Video Understanding

This is the repo for the Video-LLaMA project, which is working on empowering large language models with video and audio understanding capabilities.

News

  • [08.03] 🚀🚀 Release Video-LLaMA-2 with Llama-2-7B/13B-Chat as language decoder
    • NO delta weights and separate Q-former weights anymore, full weights to run Video-LLaMA are all here 👉 [7B][13B]
    • Allow further customization starting from our pre-trained checkpoints [7B-Pretrained] [13B-Pretrained]
  • [06.14] NOTE: the current online interactive demo is primarily for English chatting and it may NOT be a good option to ask Chinese questions since Vicuna/LLaMA does not represent Chinese texts very well.
  • [06.13] NOTE: the audio support is ONLY for Vicuna-7B by now although we have several VL checkpoints available for other decoders.
  • [06.10] NOTE: we have NOT updated the HF demo yet because the whole framework (with the audio branch) cannot run normally on A10-24G. The current running demo is still the previous version of Video-LLaMA. We will fix this issue soon.
  • [06.08] 🚀🚀 Release the checkpoints of the audio-supported Video-LLaMA. Documentation and example outputs are also updated.
  • [05.22] 🚀🚀 Interactive demo online, try our Video-LLaMA (with Vicuna-7B as language decoder) at Hugging Face and ModelScope!!
  • [05.22] ⭐️ Release Video-LLaMA v2 built with Vicuna-7B
  • [05.18] 🚀🚀 Support video-grounded chat in Chinese
  • [05.18] ⭐️ Create a Hugging Face repo to store the model weights of all the variants of our Video-LLaMA.
  • [05.15] ⭐️ Release Video-LLaMA v2: we use the training data provided by VideoChat to further enhance the instruction-following capability of Video-LLaMA.
  • [05.07] Release the initial version of Video-LLaMA, including its pre-trained and instruction-tuned checkpoints.

Video-LLaMA

Introduction

  • Video-LLaMA is built on top of BLIP-2 and MiniGPT-4. It is composed of two core components: (1) Vision-Language (VL) Branch and (2) Audio-Language (AL) Branch.
    • VL Branch (Visual encoder: ViT-G/14 + BLIP-2 Q-Former)
      • A two-layer video Q-Former and a frame embedding layer (applied to the embeddings of each frame) are introduced to compute video representations.
      • We train VL Branch on the Webvid-2M video caption dataset with a video-to-text generation task. We also add image-text pairs (~595K image captions from LLaVA) into the pre-training dataset to enhance the understanding of static visual concepts.
      • After pre-training, we further fine-tune our VL Branch using the instruction-tuning data from MiniGPT-4, LLaVA and VideoChat.
    • AL Branch (Audio encoder: ImageBind-Huge)
      • A two-layer audio Q-Former and a audio segment embedding layer (applied to the embedding of each audio segment) are introduced to compute audio representations.
      • As the used audio encoder (i.e., ImageBind) is already aligned across multiple modalities, we train AL Branch on video/image instrucaption data only, just to connect the output of ImageBind to language decoder.
  • Note that only the Video/Audio Q-Former, positional embedding layers and the linear layers are trainable during cross-modal training.

Example Outputs

  • Video with background sound

  • Video without sound effects

  • Static image

Pre-trained & Fine-tuned Checkpoints

The following checkpoints store learnable parameters (positional embedding layers, Video/Audio Q-former and linear projection layers) only.

Usage

Enviroment Preparation

First, install ffmpeg.

apt update
apt install ffmpeg

Then, create a conda environment:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate videollama

Prerequisites

Before using the repository, make sure you have obtained the following checkpoints:

Pre-trained Language Decoder

  • Get the original LLaMA weights in the Hugging Face format by following the instructions here.
  • Download Vicuna delta weights 👉 [7B][13B] (Note: we use v0 weights instead of v1.1 weights).
  • Use the following command to add delta weights to the original LLaMA weights to obtain the Vicuna weights:
python apply_delta.py \
    --base /path/to/llama-13b \
    --target /output/path/to/vicuna-13b --delta /path/to/vicuna-13b-delta

Pre-trained Visual Encoder in Vision-Language Branch

  • Download the MiniGPT-4 model (trained linear layer) from this link.

Pre-trained Audio Encoder in Audio-Language Branch

  • Download the weight of ImageBind from this link.

Download Learnable Weights

Use git-lfs to download the learnable weights of our Video-LLaMA (i.e., positional embedding layer + Q-Former + linear projection layer):

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/DAMO-NLP-SG/Video-LLaMA-Series

The above commands will download the model weights of all the Video-LLaMA variants. For sure, you can choose to download the weights on demand. For example, if you want to run Video-LLaMA with Vicuna-7B as language decoder locally, then:

wget https://huggingface.co/DAMO-NLP-SG/Video-LLaMA-Series/resolve/main/finetune-vicuna7b-v2.pth
wget https://huggingface.co/DAMO-NLP-SG/Video-LLaMA-Series/resolve/main/finetune_vicuna7b_audiobranch.pth

should meet the requirement.

How to Run Demo Locally

Firstly, set the llama_model, imagebind_ckpt_path, ckpt and ckpt_2 in eval_configs/video_llama_eval_withaudio.yaml. Then run the script:

python demo_audiovideo.py \
    --cfg-path eval_configs/video_llama_eval_withaudio.yaml \
    --model_type llama_v2 \ # or vicuna
    --gpu-id 0

Training

The training of each cross-modal branch (i.e., VL branch or AL branch) in Video-LLaMA consists of two stages,

  1. Pre-training on the Webvid-2.5M video caption dataset and LLaVA-CC3M image caption dataset.

  2. Fine-tuning using the image-based instruction-tuning data from MiniGPT-4/LLaVA and the video-based instruction-tuning data from VideoChat.

1. Pre-training
