[Metric Projector Card] [TinyEmo MM-LLM Card]
TinyEmo is a family of small multi-modal language models for emotional reasoning and classification. Our approach features: (1) a synthetic emotional instruct dataset for both pre-training and fine-tuning stages, (2) a Metric Projector that delegates classification from the language model allowing for more efficient training and inference, (3) a multi-modal large language model (MM-LLM) for emotional reasoning, and (4) a semi-automated framework for bias detection. TinyEmo is able to perform emotion classification and emotional reasoning, all while using substantially fewer parameters than comparable models. This efficiency allows us to freely incorporate more diverse emotional datasets, enabling strong performance on classification tasks, with our smallest model (700M parameters) outperforming larger state-of-the-art models based on general-purpose MM-LLMs with over 7B parameters. Additionally, the Metric Projector allows for interpretability and indirect bias detection in large models without additional training, offering an approach to understand and improve AI systems.
- Clone this repository and navigate to the root of the project:
git clone https://github.com/ggcr/TinyEmo.git
cd TinyEmo
- Create an environment and install dependencies:
conda create -n projector_mps python=3.10 -y
conda activate projector_mps
pip install --upgrade pip # enable PEP 660 support
pip install -e projector_mps/.
Refer to the TinyLLaVA installation section.
We provide precomputed CLIP features for the Emotion6 dataset, and you can evaluate them using two methods:
To evaluate the projectors from Hugging Face, use the scripts/eval.sh script:
conda activate projector_mps
bash projector_mps/scripts/eval.shThe Zero-shot Accuracy in the table below is the average accuracy across multiple datasets, including Emotion6, FI, ArtPhoto, Abstract, and UnbiasedEmo.
| Model Architecture | Parameters | Zero-shot Accuracy | HuggingFace Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLIP ViT-L/14 + OpenELM-270M-I | 0.70B | 57.87% | HF Projector 0.70B Link |
| CLIP ViT-L/14 + OpenELM-450M-I | 0.88B | 55.24% | HF Projector 0.88B Link |
| CLIP ViT-L/14 + TinyLLaMA 1.1 | 1.53B | 56.13% | HF Projector 1.53B Link |
| CLIP ViT-L/14 + Microsoft Phi 2 | 3.21B | 56.28% | HF Projector 3.21B Link |
A more extensive eval of the results can be seen on Table VIII from the paper:
To use custom local weights or models, run the following:
conda activate projector_mps
bash projector_mps/scripts/eval_custom.shThis allows you to specify different vision encoders, language models, and loss functions, as well as use your own projector weights.
The Metric Projector was built from the foundations of CLIP-E paper!
Our codebase for the MM-LLM is forked from the TinyLLaVA project.
