Publication number: 20260141697Abstract: A training framework includes a transparent and unbiased dataset generation pipeline to generate unbiased multi-modal training data for training a multi-modal LLM. Specifically, one or more images may be annotated using image recognition models, e.g., for object detection, attributes, relations, segmentation, etc. Then, the generated annotations are used to generate scene graph. A scene graph is a data structure that represents objects with attributes in an image as nodes and relationships between objects in an image as edges. Several computer programs are then used to systematically generate question-answer pairs. Because the computer programs include a set of known rules, how the data is generated is known explicitly and thus transparent. The question-answer pairs may be of several types, e.g., a type associated with each of the types of image recognition models. The question-answer pairs may be included in a training dataset and used to train a multimodal LLM.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2025Publication date: May 21, 2026Inventors: Jieyu Zhang, Le Xue, Jun Wang, Manli Shu, An Yan, Zeyuan Chen, Ran Xu
