Tarsier Model Card
Model details
Model type: Tarsier-7b is one of the Tarsier family -- an open-source large-scale video-language models, which is designed to generate high-quality video descriptions, together with good capability of general video understanding (Tarsier-34b gains SOTA results on 6 open benchmarks). Base LLM: liuhaotian/llava-v1.6-vicuna-7b
Model date: Tarsier-7b was trained in June 2024.

Intended use
Primary intended uses: The primary use of Tarsier is research on large multimodal models, especially video description.
Primary intended users: The primary intended users of the model are researchers and hobbyists in computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Training dataset
Tarsier tasks a two-stage training strategy.
- Stage-1: Multi-task Pre-training on 13M data
- Stage-2: Multi-grained Instruction Tuning on 500K data
In both stages, we freeze ViT and train all the parameters of projection layer and LLM.
Evaluation dataset
- A challenging video desription dataset: DREAM-1K
- Multi-choice VQA: MVBench, NeXT-QA and Egoschema
- Open-ended VQA: MSVD-QA, MSR-VTT-QA, ActivityNet-QA and TGIF-QA
- Video Caption: MSVD-Caption, MSRVTT-Caption, VATEX
