Large Vision-Language Models

Pre-training, Prompting, and Applications. Edited by Kaiyang Zhou, Ziwei Liu and Peng Gao. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of large vision-language models, covering the key aspects of their pre-training, prompting techniques, and diverse real-world computer vision applications. Large Vision-Language Models begins by exploring the fundamentals of large vision-language models, covering architectural designs, training techniques, and dataset construction methods. It then examines prompting strategies and other adaptation methods, demonstrating how these models can be effectively fine-tuned to address a wide range of downstream tasks. The final section focuses on the application of vision-language models across various domains, including open-vocabulary object detection, 3D point cloud processing, and text-driven visual content generation and manipulation. Beyond the technical foundations, the book explores the wide-ranging applications of vision-language models (VLMs), from enhancing image recognition systems to enabling sophisticated visual content generation and facilitating more natural human-machine interactions. It also addresses key challenges in the field, such as feature alignment, scalability, data requirements, and evaluation metrics. By providing a comprehensive roadmap for both newcomers and experts, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the current landscape, limitations, and future directions of VLMs, ultimately contributing to the advancement of artificial intelligence.
