Mol-VL is a Vision-Language Model for Optical Chemical Structure Understanding (OCSU).

To take advantage of existing pretrained VLMs, we adopt the weights from Qwen2-VL. Mol-VL-7B is further finetuned on [Vis-CheBI20](https://huggingface.co/datasets/PharMolix/Vis-CheBI20) training set.

For technical details, please refer to [OCSU](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.15415). Training and evaluation scripts will be available recently, stay tuned!
