However, there are challenges when dealing with complex scenarios and the need for high-quality training data. To overcome these obstacles, researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Kingsoft have developed a resource-efficient technique called Monkey. Monkey leverages pre-existing large multimodal models to increase input resolution without the time-consuming pretraining process. It uses a sliding window approach to divide high-resolution pictures into manageable portions. Each patch is individually encoded for improved image understanding. Monkey has shown promising results in tasks like image captioning and visual question answering. 🌟 Key Benefits of Monkey: 1️⃣ Associations within Context: Monkey improves the model's ability to comprehend relationships between different targets and explore common knowledge, resulting in more insightful findings. 2️⃣ Enhanced Resolution: Monkey supports resolutions up to 1344 x 896, surpassing typical resolutions used in large multimodal models. This enables the model to identify and understand small or densely packed objects and text. 3️⃣ Performance Improvements: Monkey has shown competitive performance in tasks like Image Captioning, General Visual Question Answering, Scene Text-centric Visual Question Answering, and Document-oriented Visual Question Answering. 📚 To learn more about Monkey, check out the research paper and the corresponding Github repository.
