End to End Showcase using Llama models for Multi-Modal RAG

Story Overview: Multi-Modal RAG using Llama-3.2-11B model:

• Data Labeling and Preparation: We start by downloading 5000 images of clothing items and labeling them using 11B model
• Cleaning Labels: With the labels based on the notebook above, we will then clean the dataset and prepare it for RAG
• Building Vector DB and RAG Pipeline: With the final clean dataset, we can use descriptions and 11B model to generate recommendations

Resources used:

Credit and Thanks to List of models and resources used in the showcase:

Firstly, thanks to the author here for providing this dataset on which we base our excercise []()

• Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct Model
• Lance-db for vector database
• [This]() Kaggle dataset for building our work
• HF Dataset Since output of the model can be non-deterministic every time we run, we will use the uploaded dataset to give a universal experience
• Transformers for 11B model
• Gradio for Demo
• Together API for demo

Detailed Outline

Here's the detailed outline:

Step 1: Data Prep and Synthetic Labeling:

The dataset consists of 5000 images with some classification.

The first half is preparing the dataset for labeling:

• Clean/Remove corrupt images
• EDA to understand existing distribution
• Merging up categories of clothes to reduce complexity
• Balancing dataset by randomly sampling images

Second Half consists of Labeling the dataset. We are bound by an interesting constraint here, 11B model can only caption one image at a time:

• We load a few images and test captioning
• We run this pipeline on random images and iterate on the prompt till we feel the model is giving good outputs
• Finally, we can create a script to label all 5000 images on multi-GPU

After running the script on the entire dataset, we have more data cleaning to perform:

Step 2: Cleaning up Synthetic Labels and preparing the dataset:

Even after our lengthy (apart from other things) prompt, the model still hallucinates categories and label-we need to address this

• Re-balance the dataset by mapping correct categories
• Fix Descriptions so that we can create a CSV

Now, we are ready to try our vector db pipeline:

Step 3: Notebook 3: MM-RAG using lance-db to validate idea

With the cleaned descriptions and dataset, we can now store these in a vector-db

You will note that we are not using the categorization from our model-this is by design to show how RAG can simplify a lot of things.

• We create embeddings using the text description of our clothes
• Use 11-B model to describe the uploaded image
• Try to find similar or complimentary images based on the upload

We try the approach with different retrieval methods.

Step 4: Gradio App using Together API for Llama-3.2-11B and Lance-db for RAG

Finally, we can bring this all together in a Gradio App.

Task: We can further improve the description prompt. You will notice sometimes the description starts with the title of the cloth which causes in retrieval of "similar" clothes instead of "complementary" items

• Upload an image
• 11B model describes the image
• We retrieve complementary clothes to wear based on the description
• You can keep the loop going by chatting with the model
