ST-LLM: Large Language Models Are Effective Temporal Learners

News 📢

• [2024/3/28] All codes and weights are available now! Welcome to watch this repository for the latest updates.

Introduction 💡

• ST-LLM is a temporal-sensitive video large language model. Our model incorporates three key architectural:
  • (1) Joint spatial-temporal modeling within large language models for effective video understanding.
  • (2) Dynamic masking strategy and mask video modeling for efficiency and robustness.
  • (3) Global-local input module for long video understanding.
• ST-LLM has established new state-of-the-art results on MVBench, VideoChatGPT Bench and VideoQA Bench:

Demo 🤗

Please download the conversation weights from here and follow the instructions in installation first. Then, run the gradio demo:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 demo_gradio.py --ckpt-path /path/to/STLLM_conversation_weight

We have also prepared local scripts that are easy to modify：demo.py

Examples 👀

• Video Description: for high-difficulty videos with complex scene changes, ST-LLM can accurately describe all the contents.

• Action Identification: ST-LLM can accurately and comprehensively describe the actions occurring in the video.

• Reasoning: for the challenging open-ended reasoning questions, STLLM can also provide reasonable answers.

  

Installation 🛠️

Git clone our repository, creating a Python environment and activate it via the following command

git clone https://github.com/farewellthree/ST-LLM.git
cd ST-LLM
conda create --name stllm python=3.10
conda activate stllm
pip install -r requirement.txt

Training & Validation 📊
