This guide will steer you through the process of using the Mistral-RealworldQA-v0.2-7b model for reducing hallucinations in Visual Question Answering (VQA). This innovative model, based on the Mistral-7b architecture, has been fine-tuned using the RealWorldQA dataset. Let’s embark on this journey of image captioning!
Release Notes
- v0.1: Initial Release
- v0.2b (Current): Updated to the official Mistral-7b fp16 release, with refinements to the dataset and instruction formatting
Understanding the Model with an Analogy
Imagine a chef (the model) who is excellent at cooking (generating text) but used to preparing lavish, multi-course meals (verbose output). The Mistral-RealworldQA-v0.2-7b chef, however, underwent a makeover to serve shorter, more concise dishes—akin to quick bites suitable for a busy lunch crowd. This change reduces the chances of mixing up ingredients (hallucinations) when asked to quickly describe a dish (image), although the chef can still be persuaded to deviate from the recipe by a particularly demanding client (user). This model is perfect for those times when you just need a quick caption rather than a detailed feast!
Getting Started
To set up this model, you’ll need to follow a series of steps:
- Download the model files from the following links:
- Select the GGUF file in Koboldcpp and make sure to choose the corresponding mmproj file in the LLaVA mmproj field of the model submenu.
Prompt Format
For the best results while using the model, it is recommended to employ Alpaca-style prompts. This format ensures clarity and relevance in the generated captions.
Troubleshooting
While using the Mistral-RealworldQA-v0.2-7b model, you may encounter some common issues:
- Model Output is Still Hallucinating: Although the chances have decreased, it’s essential to refine the user input. Being clear and concise can help reduce inaccuracies.
- Model Response is Too Brief: If you find the responses lacking detail, consider elaborating on the prompt, allowing the model to generate a bit more context.
- No Output Received: Ensure that you have selected the correct mmproj file and that all dependencies are installed properly.
