if the model supports Chinese language prompts or narrations?

[ruifenggong]

Hello,

I'm interested in using Lavila for my project but I was wondering if the model supports Chinese language prompts or narrations.
Can you please confirm whether Lavila has the capability to provide responses in Chinese or if there are any plans to add this feature in the future?

Thank you for your help!

Hi @ruifenggong

Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, the model only supports English because it is built on top of the original GPT-2 and then fine-tuned on Ego4D narrations (which have only English corpus). Unless there is any update from the dataset side (e.g. multiple-language support), we will keep the model as is.

Best,
Yue
