Enhancing Large Vision Language Models with Self-Training on Image Comprehension
Open accessAbstract
Large vision language models (LVLMs) integrate large language models (LLMs) with pre-trained vision encoders, thereby activating the perception capability of the model to understand image inputs for different queries and conduct subsequent reasoning. Improving this capability requires high-quality vision-language data, which is costly and labor-intensive to acquire. Self-training approaches have been effective in single-modal settings to alleviate the need for labeled data by leveraging model's own generation. However, effective self-training remains a challenge regarding the unique visual perception and reasoning capability of LVLMs. To address this, we introduce Self-Training on Image Comprehension (STIC), which emphasizes a self-training approach specifically for image comprehension. First, the model self-constructs a preference dataset for image descriptions using unlabeled images. Preferred responses are generated through a step-by-step prompt, while dis-preferred responses are generated from either corrupted images or misleading prompts. To further self-improve reasoning on the extracted visual information, we let the model reuse a small portion of existing instruction-tuning data and append its self-generated image descriptions to the prompts. We validate the effectiveness of STIC across seven different benchmarks, demonstrating substantial performance gains of 4.0% on average while using 70% less supervised fine-tuning data than the current method. Further studies investigate various components of STIC and highlight its potential to leverage vast quantities of unlabeled images for self-training. Code and data are made publicly available.

Deng et al. (2024) demonstrates how vision-language models can improve iteratively by training on their own generated image descriptions and visual reasoning chains.
“Deng et al. (2024) demonstrates how vision-language models can improve iteratively by training on their own generated image descriptions and visual reasoning chains.”

Section 4 (p. 5) describes a two-stage method in which the model learns from its own image descriptions, and the Abstract (p. 1) reports performance gains. But the paper says the reasoning stage reuses existing instruction-tuning data with self-generated descriptions appended to the prompts; it does not say the model trains on its own generated visual reasoning chains or demonstrate repeated iterative improvement. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe approach leverages the model's existing visual understanding to generate detailed image descriptions, which are subsequently used to fine-tune the model's visual perception in a bootstrapping manner.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
