How to use the mm-cot frame as a utility library through local LLM?

[dszpr]

Hi! Much appreciated for the excellent work!

I am working on vision-QA task using BLIP2, which consists of three modules:
ViT that extracting vision feature
QFORMER that narrow the gap between vision and language modalities
T5xxl that receive the question and the output of QFORMER to generate answers.

I wonder if it's possible to employ the mm-cot as a utility library in BLIP2 model to enhance vision-QA inference?

Hi, thanks for your interest! An efficient way could be training your framework just in two steps like MM-CoT: (i) rationale generation; (ii) answer inference; no matter the backbone modules are.
