E5-V: Universal Embeddings with Multimodal Large Language Models

E5-V is fine-tuned based on lmms-lab/llama3-llava-next-8b.

Overview

We propose a framework, called E5-V, to adpat MLLMs for achieving multimodal embeddings. E5-V effectively bridges the modality gap between different types of inputs, demonstrating strong performance in multimodal embeddings even without fine-tuning. We also propose a single modality training approach for E5-V, where the model is trained exclusively on text pairs, demonstrating better performance than multimodal training.
