:notes: Introduction

MM-REACT teaser MM-REACT allocates specialized vision experts with ChatGPT to solve challenging visual understanding tasks through multimodal reasoning and action.

MM-ReAct Design

design

To enable the image as input, we simply use the file path as the input to ChatGPT. The file path functions as a placeholder, allowing ChatGPT to treat it as a black box.
Whenever a specific property, such as celebrity names or box coordinates, is required, ChatGPT is expected to seek help from a specific vision expert to identify the desired information.
The expert output is serialized as text and combined with the input to further activate ChatGPT.
If no external experts are needed, we directly return the response to the user.

Getting Started

MM-REACT code is bases on langchain.

Please refer to langchain for instructions on installation and documentation.

Additional packages needed for MM-REACT

pip install PIL imagesize
