Generative Multimodal Models Are In-Context Learners
摘要
Humans can easily solve tasks involving different types of information, such as text, images, or sounds, using just a few examples or simple instructions. However, current multimodal systems have been struggling to mimic this ability. In this chapter, we present Emu2, a multimodal modelMultimodal model with 37 billion parameters, designed to improve this challenge. Trained on large-scale multimodal data, Emu2 shows strong abilities in learning from context and can handle tasks that require reasoning on the spot, such as visual promptingVisual prompting and object-based generation. Emu2 sets new performance records on several multimodal understanding tasks, even in situations where only a few examples are provided. Additionally, when fine-tuned with specific instructions, it achieves state-of-the-art results on tasks like question answering and open-ended content generation. These advancements demonstrate that Emu2 is a versatile model, capable of serving as a foundation for a wide variety of multimodal tasks. Its availability to the public will support future research and development in this area.
