# Multimodal Chain-of-Thought Reasoning in Language Models
<h5 align="center"><i>"Imagine learning a textbook without figures or tables."</i></h5>
Multimodal-CoT incorporates vision features in a decoupled training framework. The framework consists of two training stages: (i) rationale generation and (ii) answer inference. Both stages share the same model architecture but differ in the input and output.

## Requirements
Install all required python dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Datasets
Download the dataset from the following repository:
```
https://github.com/lupantech/ScienceQA/tree/main/data
```
The vision features (detr, resnet, clip, vit) are available at https://huggingface.co/cooelf/vision_features/tree/main
Alternatively, you may download the extracted vision features (detr, resnet, clip) from [vision_features](https://drive.google.com/file/d/13B0hc_F_45-UlqPLKSgRz-ALtFQ8kIJr/view?usp=share_link) and unzip the files under `vision_features`
## Extract Features (optional)
The processed vision features for ScienceQA are available at https://huggingface.co/cooelf/vision_features/tree/main.
The following instructions show how we obtain those features.
Download the image files from [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1w8imCXWYn2LxajmGeGH_g5DaL2rabHev?usp=sharing) and unzip all the images (train, dev, test) in the same folder (). The structure should be:
```
images
├── 1
│ └── image.png
├── 2
│ └── image.png
├── 3
│ └── image.png
├── 5
│ └── image.png
├── 7
│ └── image.png
```
Run ```extract_features.py --data_root images --output_dir vision_features --img_type vit```
If you hope to use your own images, please structure those images in the way above, or modify the script ```extract_features.py```.
## Extract Captions (optional)
The processed captions for ScienceQA are available at ```data/instruct_captions.json```.
The following instructions show how we obtain those features.
Intall lavis and prepare Vicuna weights to use InstructBLIP for caption extraction.
https://github.com/salesforce/LAVIS/tree/f982acc73288408bceda2d35471a8fcf55aa04ca/projects/instructblip
Assume that the images are stored in the ```images``` folder.
```
python extract_caption.py
```
