通过自适应数据校准,解决大模型视觉语言训练中的长尾分布问题。

From Head to Tail: Towards Balanced Representation in Large Vision-Language Models through Adaptive Data Calibration

  • 提出两阶段数据重平衡与合成框架,动态调整头尾概念数据比例。
  • 在11个基准上使LLaVA 1.5平均性能提升4.36%,不增加数据量。
  • 适合关注视觉语言模型公平性与泛化能力的研究者。

大型视觉语言模型(LVLM)在结合视觉理解与语言生成方面取得了显著进展。然而,其训练数据仍存在严重的长尾(LT)分布不均衡问题。以往工作多聚焦于CLIP或ViT等传统视觉模型及识别分类任务,对LLaVA等LVLM及更通用任务(如视觉问答与视觉推理)的探索仍不足。本文深入分析了LVLM中的长尾问题,发现核心原因在于头部概念过量、尾部概念不足。基于此,提出自适应数据精炼框架ADR,包含两阶段:数据重平衡(DR)和数据合成(DS)。DR阶段根据实体分布自适应地削减冗余数据;DS阶段利用去噪扩散概率模型(DDPMs)和稀缺图像补充低频部分。在11个基准上的综合评估表明,ADR有效缓解了训练数据的长尾问题,使LLaVA 1.5平均性能相对提升4.36%,且无需增加数据量。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved significant progress in combining visual comprehension with language generation. Despite this success, the training data of LVLMs still suffers from Long-Tail (LT) problems, where the data distribution is highly imbalanced. Previous works have mainly focused on traditional VLM architectures, i.e., CLIP or ViT, and specific tasks such as recognition and classification. Nevertheless, the exploration of LVLM (e.g. LLaVA) and more general tasks (e.g. Visual Question Answering and Visual Reasoning) remains under-explored. In this paper, we first conduct an in-depth analysis of the LT issues in LVLMs and identify two core causes: the overrepresentation of head concepts and the underrepresentation of tail concepts. Based on the above observation, we propose an $\textbf{A}$daptive $\textbf{D}$ata $\textbf{R}$efinement Framework ($\textbf{ADR}$), which consists of two stages: $\textbf{D}$ata $\textbf{R}$ebalancing ($\textbf{DR}$) and $\textbf{D}$ata $\textbf{S}$ynthesis ($\textbf{DS}$). In the DR stage, we adaptively rebalance the redundant data based on entity distributions, while in the DS stage, we leverage Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) and scarce images to supplement underrepresented portions. Through comprehensive evaluations across eleven benchmarks, our proposed ADR effectively mitigates the long-tail problem in the training data, improving the average performance of LLaVA 1.5 relatively by 4.36%, without increasing the training data volume.
