🚀 Introducing ColFlor: An Efficient, OCR-Free Vision-Language Document Retrieval Model 🌟
Earlier this year, ColPali revolutionized document retrieval by eliminating the need for error-prone OCR pipelines. Instead, it directly processes the document images. However, with its 3 billion parameters, ColPali is computationally heavy for large-scale applications.
That’s where ColFlor comes in—a smaller, faster alternative! 🎉 At 17x smaller than ColPali, ColFlor offers a more efficient, OCR-free document retrieval solution, making it ideal for users with limited computing resources (GPU Poor). 💡
Key Highlights:
🧠 174M parameters (vs. 3B for ColPali)
⚡ 9.8x faster query encoding, 5.25x faster image encoding
📉 Only 1.8% performance drop on text-rich English documents
Check out the full blog post for more insights on modeling, training, and evaluations across various document retrieval tasks! 🚀
Also, feel free to try our demo on huggingface 🤗

📢 Exciting News! Our latest paper "ChartGemma" is out! 📊
🧵1/3: ChartGemma overcomes existing chart models key limitations that rely too much on data tables. Instead, it is trained on data generated directly from chart images, capturing crucial visual trends📸🔍
🧵2/3: ChartGemma builds upon PaliGemma from Google Research and is fine-tuned on a high-quality visual instruction tuning dataset generated from Gemini Flash 1.5. 🌟📊
🧵3/3: Achieves state-of-the-art results in chart summarization, question answering, and fact-checking tasks. 🏅📊 It can also generate more accurate and realistic chart summaries. 📝🔍
Our model and data are publicly available. We also have a cool web demo. Check it out! 🚀
