BrightRate-LM 7B multi-exposure adapters
This PEFT adapter is one result from the BrightRate-LM controlled input and scaling study.
Base model
Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct
Input interface
Eight uniformly sampled frames are each rendered at -2, 0, and +2 stops. The 24 images are passed in temporal-major order.
Training data and recipe
Five adapters were trained independently on the five content-separated BrightVQ splits. Training uses two epochs, a three-epoch cosine schedule horizon, learning rate 1e-4, micro-batch 1, gradient accumulation 8, and rank-16 LoRA with alpha 32 and dropout 0.05. MOS targets are interpolated across five quality words. The root adapter is split 0; splits/split-1 through split-4 contain the remaining adapters.
Training data: BrightVQ.
Metrics
Held-out metrics for the five 420-video test splits:
Intended use
This adapter is intended for research on no-reference perceptual quality assessment of user-generated HDR video. Scores are not calibrated for other datasets, display pipelines, or video domains.
Code and input construction are available in BrightRate-LM.
