Florence-2 is a new vision foundation model capable of a wide variety of tasks 🀯
Demo πŸ‘‰πŸ» gokaygokay/Florence-2

This model can handle tasks that vary from OCR to semantic segmentation.

The difference from previous models is that the authors have compiled a dataset consisting of 126M images with 5.4B annotations labelled with their own data engine pseudolabelled by smaller specialized models and APIs.

The model has a similar architecture to previous models: an image encoder and a multimodality encoder with a text decoder. The authors have compiled the multitask dataset with prompts for each task.

You can also fine-tune this model on any task of choice. The authors also released different results on downstream tasks and reported their results when un/freezing the vision encoder πŸ€“πŸ“‰
They have released fine-tuned models too, you can find them in the collection above πŸ€—

nice post !

Interesting, I gave it a photo of a barely readable handwritten piece of old paper, using OCR it made a mess, but when I used "Detailed caption" it made only 2 errors.

It has 126M images training, yet didn't support Chinese or other languages well. A little pity
