Some keep the language model frozen and feed it visual features through a Q-former or a linear projection, which limits how much the modalities can help each other. Others fine-tune the LLM on multi-modal instructions, which tends to weaken its text skills. mPLUG-Owl2… 2. **[UReader: Universal OCR-free Visually-situated Language Understanding with Multimodal Large Language Model](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ye-2023-ureader-universal-ocr-free-visually/)** *(2023 · 128 citations)* Understanding images that contain text, such as documents, tables, charts, webpages and street photos, usually requires either an external OCR system or costly domain-specific pretraining. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
