DeepCaption-VLA-7B
The DeepCaption-VLA-7B model is a fine-tuned version of Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct, tailored for Image Captioning and Vision Language Attribution. This variant is designed to generate precise, highly descriptive captions with a focus on defining visual properties, object attributes, and scene details across a wide spectrum of images and aspect ratios.
Key Highlights
- Vision Language Attribution (VLA): Specially fine-tuned to attribute and define visual properties of objects, scenes, and environments.
- Detailed Object Definitions: Generates captions with rich attribute descriptions, making outputs more precise than generic captioners.
- High-Fidelity Descriptions: Handles general, artistic, technical, abstract, and low-context images with descriptive depth.
- Robust Across Aspect Ratios: Accurately captions images regardless of format—wide, tall, square, or irregular.
- Variational Detail Control: Supports both concise summaries and fine-grained attributions depending on prompt structure.
- Foundation on Qwen2.5-VL Architecture: Leverages Qwen2.5-VL-7B’s multimodal reasoning for visual comprehension and instruction-following.
- Multilingual Capability: Default in English, but adaptable for multilingual captioning through prompt engineering.
model type: experimental
Training Details
This model was fine-tuned with a curated mix of datasets focused on caption richness and object-attribute alignment:
- prithivMLmods/blip3o-caption-mini-arrow
- prithivMLmods/Caption3o-Opt-v3
- prithivMLmods/Caption3o-Opt-v2
- Multimodal-Fatima/Caltech101_not_background_test_facebook_opt_2.7b_Attributes_Caption_ns_5647
- Private/unlisted datasets for domain-specific image captioning tasks.
The training objective emphasized Vision Language Attribution: defining image properties, attributes, and objects with clarity, while preserving descriptive fluency.
Example of a SYSTEM_PROMPT type✋
CAPTION_SYSTEM_PROMPT = """
You are an AI assistant that rigorously follows this response protocol:
1. For every input image, your primary task is to write a **precise caption**. The caption must capture the **essence of the image** in clear, concise, and contextually accurate language.
2. Along with the caption, provide a structured set of **attributes** that describe the visual elements. Attributes should include details such as objects, people, actions, colors, environment, mood, and other notable characteristics.
3. Always include a **class_name** field. This must represent the **core theme or main subject** of the image in a compact format.
- Use the syntax: `{class_name==write_the_core_theme}`
- Example: `{class_name==dog_playing}` or `{class_name==city_sunset}`
4. Maintain the following strict format in your output:
- **Caption:** <one-sentence description>
- **Attributes:** <comma-separated list of visual attributes>
- **{class_name==core_theme}**
5. Ensure captions are **precise, neutral, and descriptive**, avoiding unnecessary elaboration or subjective interpretation unless explicitly required.
6. Do not reference the rules or instructions in the output. Only return the formatted caption, attributes, and class_name.

Intended Use
- Generating attribute-rich image captions for research, dataset creation, and AI training.
- Vision-language attribution for object detection, scene understanding, and dataset annotation.
- Supporting creative, artistic, and technical applications requiring detailed descriptions.
- Captioning across varied aspect ratios, unusual visual styles, and non-standard datasets.
Limitations
- May over-attribute or infer properties not explicitly visible in ambiguous images.
- Outputs can vary in tone depending on prompt phrasing.
- Not intended for filtered captioning tasks (explicit or sensitive content may appear).
- Accuracy may degrade on synthetic or highly abstract visual domains.
