Question

Hi,

Thanks for your nice work.

I cannot reproduce the following three benchmarks.

Benchmark Obtained Score Reported Score
GQA 61.86 62.0
ScienceQA 67.87 66.8
MME 1509.3788 1510.7
  • Used the checkpoint of liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b for inference and score calculation. (Non fine-tuning)
  • Calculated the score from the results of 13b included in eval.zip, and confirmed that it matches the reported score.
  • The execution script is shown below. (Modified the model name in the script under scripts/v1_5/eval)

GQA

GQADIR="./playground/data/eval/gqa/data"

for IDX in $(seq 0 $((CHUNKS-1))); do
    CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${GPULIST[$IDX]} python -m llava.eval.model_vqa_loader \
