This paper introduces a novel task of personalizing Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) to have conversations about specific subjects. The proposed method, Yo’LLaVA, learns to embed a personalized subject into a set of latent tokens using example images. Compared to strong prompting baselines like LLaVA, Yo’LLaVA demonstrates improved efficiency and effectiveness in learning the concept and encoding visual attributes. This breakthrough enables LMMs to engage in more meaningful conversations about specific topics, such as recognizing a user’s pet dog or understanding their friend’s activities. The paper presents both qualitative and quantitative analyses demonstrating the superiority of Yo’LLaVA.

Imagine having a conversation with a computer program that can talk about your favorite topic – like your pet! This paper helps computers learn to focus on specific things, like recognizing pictures of your dog or understanding what’s happening in a photo of your friend. They use special images to teach the computer what to look for and how to talk about it. The new method, called Yo’LLaVA, works better than other ways they tried. This is important because it could help computers understand us better and have more interesting conversations.
