Vary-600k

Background

• The Huggingface version of Vary-tiny suffers potential issues, leading to the loss being hard to converge under multiple epochs.
• Many friends are very interested in the train data of Vary.

Release

• [2024/9/03] 🔥🔥🔥 We release a very strong and comprehensive OCR model GOT-OCR2.0.
• [2024/4/21] 🔥🔥🔥 For OneChart, we have released the web demo in Project Page. Have fun!!
• [2024/4/21] 🔥🔥🔥 We present a Vary-tiny LAVIS codebase and the Vary-600k dataset !!!

Usage and License Notices: The data, code, and checkpoint are intended and licensed for research use only.

Install

1. Clone this repository and navigate to the Vary-tiny-600k folder

git clone https://github.com/Ucas-HaoranWei/Vary-tiny-600k.git
cd LAVIS-main

2. Install Package

pip install -e .

3. Prepare Pretrain Weights and Data
   • download the OPT-125M here and the SAM-b weights here
   • download the Vary-600k here with code "vary"
   • prepare the dirs as follows:
   

Train

python -m torch.distributed.run --nproc_per_node=8 --master_port=29501 train.py --cfg-path lavis/projects/varytiny/train/pretrain.yaml

or multi machines

python -m torch.distributed.run --master_addr xxx --master_port xxx --node_rank xxx --nnodes xxx --nproc_per_node xxx  train.py --cfg-path lavis/projects/varytiny/train/pretrain.yaml

If your training goes smoothly, your loss (end of each epoch) will be similar to the following (2×8 H800)：

Demo

1. change the "pretrained" and "finetuned" path with your checkpoints in ``LAVIS-main/lavis/configs/models/varytiny/varytiny_inference.yaml'', such as:
2. 

python tests/models/test_varytiny.py  --image-file  xxx.jpg

3. We also provide the model weights we trained Vary-tiny upon Vary-600k from scratch: Vary-tiny-600k.pth. Code: "Vary". You can use it and directly run the inference.

Vary-600k

• Vary-600k is a PDF image-text pair dataset with about 30W English and 30W Chinese pages.
• The dataset is extracted using Fitz. A BERT model is used to merge sentences within paragraphs. Paragraphs are separated by "<lb>". The reason why we do not use "\n" is because we use "\n" as the "EOS" of opt-125m in this codebase.
• You can use Vary-600k for your pretrain, warm-up, and so on.
• Note that Vary-600k is only a sub-data of the pretrain data used in the original Vary.
• Download Vary-600k here. Code: "Vary"
