This is our meme captioner model, i.e., fine-tuned LLaVA-1.5-7B, from our paper *"Beyond Words: A Multimodal and Multilingual Exploration of Persuasion in Memes"*.

\\<b>Important: When we talk about generating captions here, we're referring to the model creating a concise description of the meme, including its purpose and target audience, rather than generating the text that should appear within the meme itself. </b>\\

To run the model follow these steps:

1.Clone our repository and navigate to LLaVA folder:

git clone https://github.com/AmirAbaskohi/Beyond-Words-A-Multimodal-Exploration-of-Persuasion-in-Memes.git
cd LLaVA

1.Run the following commands:

conda create -n llava_captioner python=3.10 -y
conda activate llava_captioner
pip3 install -e .
pip3 install transformers==4.31.0
pip3 install protobuf

1.Finally you can chat with the model through CLI by passing our model as the model path:

python3 -m llava.serve.cli  --model-path AmirHossein1378/LLaVA-1.5-7b-meme-captioner    --image-file PATH_TO_IMAGE_FILE

Please refer to our GitHub repository for more information.
