ChartMoE is a multimodal large language model with Mixture-of-Expert connector for advanced chart 1)understanding, 2)replot, 3)editing, 4)highlighting and 5)transformation.

Step 1. Create a conda environment and activate it.

conda create -n chartmoe_env python=3.9
conda activate chartmoe_env

Step 2. Install PyTorch (We use PyTorch 2.1.0 / CUDA 12.1)

pip install torch==2.1.0 torchvision==0.16.0 torchaudio==2.1.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

Step 3. Install require packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4. Install editable ChartMoE packages

pip install -e .

Customize the weight path of ChartMoE: Set your own ChartMoE_HF_PATH.

Code Demo:

from chartmoe import ChartMoE_Robot
import torch

robot = ChartMoE_Robot()
image_path = "examples/bar2.png"
question = "Redraw the chart with python matplotlib, giving the code to highlight the column corresponding to the year in which the student got the highest score (painting it red). Please keep the same colors and legend as the input chart."

history = ""
with torch.cuda.amp.autocast():
    response, history = robot.chat(image_path, question, history=history)

print(response)

Customize the path of ChartQA: Set your own ChartQA_ROOT(including test_human.json and test_augmented.json) and ChartQA_TEST_IMG_ROOT(including the test images).

w/ PoT:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python chartmoe/eval_ChartQA.py --save_path ./results/chartqa_results_pot --pot

w/o PoT:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python chartmoe/eval_ChartQA.py --save_path ./results/chartqa_results

Run chartmoe/eval_MME.ipynb for MME scores.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python gradio_demo.py
