InternVL Stage-2 Pre-training & Retrieval Fine-tuning#
This folder contains the implementation of the InternVL 1.0 for stage2 pre-training and retrieval fine-tuning, which corresponds to Section 4.3 of our InternVL 1.0 paper.

Data Preparation#
Three datasets need to be prepared: COCO Caption, Flickr30K, and NoCaps.
COCO Caption
mkdir -p data/coco && cd data/coco

Retrieval Fine-tuning (Fully)#
Note: In our experiments, full parameter fine-tuning achieves the best results on image-text retrieval tasks in Flickr30K and COCO. By following the experimental hyperparameters in this section, you can reproduce the model performance reported in the Evaluation section.
To fine-tune InternVL on Flickr30K with 32 GPUs and slurm system, run:
PARTITION='your partition' GPUS=32 sh shell/finetune/internvl_stage2_finetune_flickr_364_bs1024_ep10.sh
To fine-tune InternVL on Flickr30K-CN with 32 GPUs and slurm system, run:
PARTITION='your partition' GPUS=32 sh shell/finetune/internvl_stage2_finetune_flickrcn_364_bs1024_ep10.sh
To fine-tune InternVL on COCO with 32 GPUs and slurm system, run:
PARTITION='your partition' GPUS=32 sh shell/finetune/internvl_stage2_finetune_coco_364_bs1024_ep5.sh

Fine-Tuning a Custom Dataset#
Organize Your Data: Format your dataset similar to COCO or Flickr30K.
Update Meta Information: Add your dataset’s meta information to the
ds_collectionsdictionary ininternvl_g/internvl/train/internvl_stage2_finetune.py. For example:ds_collections = { 'my_dataset_flickr_format': { 'root': './data/my_dataset/images/', 'annotation': './data/my_dataset/annotations.txt', }, 'my_dataset_coco_format': { 'root': './data/my_dataset/', 'annotation': './data/my_dataset/annotations.json', }, }
Name Your Dataset:
Include
flickr_formatorcoco_formatin your dataset’sdataset_name. This will allow the script to reuse the Flickr30K or COCO dataloader accordingly.
By following these steps, you can easily fine-tune the InternVL model on your custom dataset using the existing COCO or Flickr30K data loading mechanisms.
