🤗🤗🤗 We first create an instruction-tuning dataset based on our proposed data generation pipeline. Then, we train ChartLlama on this dataset and achieve the abilities shown in the figure.

Redraw the chart according to the given chart, and edit the chart following instructions.

Draw a new chart based on given raw data and instructions

• [2023.11.27]: 🔥🔥 Update the inference code and model weights.
• [2023.11.27]: Create the git repository.

Refer to the LLaVA-1.5. Since I have uploaded the code, you can just install by

pip install -e .

You need to first install LLaVA-1.5, then use model_vqa_lora to do inference. The model_path is the path to our Lora checkpoints, the question-file is the json file containing all questions, the image-folder is the folder containing all your images and the answers-file is the output file name.

Here is an example:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python -m llava.eval.model_vqa_lora --model-path /your_path_to/LLaVA/checkpoints/${output_name} \
    --question-file /your_path_to/question.json \
    --image-folder ./playground/data/ \
    --answers-file ./playground/data/ans.jsonl \
    --num-chunks $CHUNKS \
    --chunk-idx $IDX \
    --temperature 0 \
    --conv-mode vicuna_v1 &
