This research extends MiniGPT-4 to perform reverse designing, enabling models to infer specific image edits and their parameters from source images and edited versions. By fine-tuning off-the-shelf vision-language models for this complex multi-modal task, the study highlights significant advancements in VLM capabilities beyond traditional understanding tasks. The work underscores the growing ability of these architectures to reason about causal relationships between textual instructions and visual modifications.
MiniGPT-Reverse-Designing: Predicting Image Adjustments Utilizing MiniGPT-4
arXiv:2406.00971v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have recently seen significant advancements through integrating with Large Language Models (LLMs). The VLMs, which process image and text modalities simultaneously, have demonstrated the ability to learn and understand the interaction between images and texts across various multi-modal tasks. Reverse designing, which could be defined as a complex vision-language task, aims to predict the edits and their parameters, given a source image, an edited version, and an optional high-level textual edit description. This task requires VLMs to comprehend the interplay between the source image, the edited version, and the optional textual context simultaneously, going beyond traditional vision-language tasks. In this paper, we extend and fine-tune MiniGPT-4 for the reverse designing task. Our experiments demonstrate the extensibility of off-the-shelf VLMs, specifically MiniGPT-4, for more complex tasks such as reverse designing.
