Adapting Multimodal Large Language Models to Domains via Post-Training (EMNLP 2025)

This repos contains the biomedicine MLLM developed from InternVL3-1B in our paper: On Domain-Adaptive Post-Training for Multimodal Large Language Models. The correspoding training dataset is in biomed-visual-instructions.

The main project page is: Adapt-MLLM-to-Domains

1. To Chat with AdaMLLM

Our model architecture aligns with the base model: InternVL3-1B, so you can refer to the official OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B for the usage instructions.

Note: For AdaMLLM, always place the image at the beginning of the input instruction in the messages.

2. Domain-Specific Benchmarks

We provide biomed-VQA-benchmark for evaluating MLLMs on domain-specific tasks.

3. To Reproduce this Domain-Adapted MLLM

Using our training data, biomed-visual-instructions, you can easily reproduce our models based on the LlamaFactory repository.

For reference, we train from OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B-hf (note that we train from the -hf version) for 1 epoch with a learning rate of 1e-5 and a global batch size of 128. After training, follow this instruction to convert the hf version back to the official OpenGVLab/InternVL3-1B version.
