Remember Gemini, GPT-4o, all being true multimodal models 🌟.
Now we have a paper 📄 describing an architecture that might achieve that!
Uni-MoE: a native multimodal, Unified Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture 🏗️.
Uni-MoE integrates various modalities (text 📝, image 🖼️, audio 🎵, video 📹, speech 🗣️) using modality-specific encoders and connectors for a cohesive multimodal understanding.
Training Strategy:
1️⃣ Training cross-modality alignment with diverse connectors 🔄.
2️⃣ Training modality-specific experts using cross-modality instruction data 📊.
3️⃣Tuning the Uni-MoE framework with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) on mixed multimodal data 🔧.
Technical Details:
Modality-Specific Encoders: CLIP for images 🖼️, Whisper for speech 🗣️, BEATs for audio 🎵.
MoE-Based Blocks: Shared self-attention layers, feed-forward networks (FFN) based experts, and sparse routers for token-level expertise allocation 🚀.
Efficient Training: Utilizes LoRA for fine-tuning pre-trained experts and self-attention layers 🛠️.
Uni-MoE outperforms traditional dense models on benchmarks like A-OKVQA, OK-VQA, VQAv2, MMBench, RACE-Audio, and English High School Listening Test 🏆.
The code is open-sourced as well: https://github.com/HITsz-TMG/UMOE-Scaling-Unified-Multimodal-LLMs/tree/master/Uni_MoE_v2
