Meta-Transformer with Large Language Models ✨✨✨

We're thrilled to present OneLLM, ensembling Meta-Transformer framework with Multimodal Large Language Models, which performs multimodal joint training🚀, supports more modalities including fMRI, Depth and Normal Maps 🚀, and demonstrates very impressive performances on 25 benchmarks🚀🚀🚀.

🔥🔥 The code, pretrained models, and datasets are publicly available at OneLLM.

🔥🔥 Project Website is at OneLLM.

🌟 Single Foundation Model Supports A Wide Range of Applications

As a foundation model, Meta-Transformer can handle data from 12 modalities, which determines that it can support a wide range of applications. As shown in this figure, Meta-Transformer can provide services for downstream tasks including stock analysis 📈, weather forecasting ☀️ ☔ ☁️ ❄️ ⛄ ⚡, remote sensing 📡, autonomous driving 🚗, social network 🌍, speech recognition 🔉, etc.

Table 1: Meta-Transformer is capable of handling up to 12 modalities, including natural language <img src="assets\icons\text.jpg" width="15" height="15">, RGB images <img src="assets\icons\img.jpg" width="15" height="15">, point clouds <img src="assets\icons\pcd.jpg" width="15" height="15">, audios <img src="assets\icons\audio.jpg" width="15" height="15">, videos <img src="assets\icons\video.jpg" width="15" height="15">, tabular data <img src="assets\icons\table.jpg" width="15" height="15">, graph <img src="assets\icons\graph.jpg" width="15" height="15">, time series data <img src="assets\icons\time.jpg" width="15" height="15">, hyper-spectral images <img src="assets\icons\hyper.jpg" width="15" height="15">, IMU <img src="assets\icons\imu.jpg" width="15" height="15">, medical images <img src="assets\icons\xray.jpg" width="15" height="15">, and infrared images <img src="assets\icons\infrared.jpg" width="15" height="15">.

🚩🚩🚩 Shared-Encoder, Unpaired Data, More Modalities

This repository is built to explore the potential and extensibility of transformers for multimodal learning. We utilize the advantages of Transformers to deal with length-variant sequences. Then we propose the Data-to-Sequence tokenization following a meta-scheme, then we apply it to 12 modalities including text, image, point cloud, audio, video, infrared, hyper-spectral, X-Ray, tabular, graph, time-series, and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data.

After obtaining the token sequence, we employ a modality-shared encoder to extract representation across different modalities. With task-specific heads, Meta-Transformer can handle various tasks on the different modalities, such as: classification, detection, and segmentation.
