A Specialized UI Multimodal Model
Motiff is developing a Multimodal Large Language Model to enhance UI design by adapting existing technologies, focusing on high-quality data, and improving efficiency while reducing costs in design processes.
Read original articleMotiff is developing a Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) aimed at enhancing user interface (UI) design through advanced AI technologies. The company focuses on two main areas: creating innovative features to assist designers and ensuring the robustness of the underlying AI technologies. The evolution of large language models has opened new avenues for AI applications, particularly in UI design, where Language User Interfaces (LUI) are becoming essential for managing complex tasks. Motiff's approach involves adapting existing multimodal models to meet the specific needs of UI design, rather than starting from scratch. This includes refining visual and language models with domain-specific data and optimizing training stages for better performance. The MLLM integrates a pre-trained Visual Encoder with a Large Language Model, allowing for enhanced interaction in UI design. Data collection for training the model has focused on high-quality UI data, including UI screenshot captions and structured captions, to improve understanding and contextual relevance. The MLLM has undergone rigorous evaluation against state-of-the-art models across various UI tasks, demonstrating its capability in screen understanding, component localization, and natural language description generation. Overall, Motiff's MLLM aims to reduce costs and improve innovation efficiency in UI design, leveraging the latest advancements in AI.
- Motiff is developing a Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) for UI design.
- The model adapts existing multimodal technologies to meet UI-specific needs.
- Data collection focuses on high-quality UI data for training.
- MLLM has been evaluated against state-of-the-art models in various UI tasks.
- The goal is to enhance efficiency and reduce costs in UI design processes.
- Visual Processing: Images are processed by a vision encoder and transformed into visual tokens by the vision-language connector. - Text Generation: The visual tokens are combined with text tokens, allowing the LLM to generate comprehensive text responses, enhancing UI design interaction.
Due to the scarcity of high-quality UI domain data, we employed the following methods for data collection:
- UI Screenshot Descriptions: Detailed modular descriptions of UI screenshots, covering layouts, components, and functionalities. - Structured UI Descriptions: Focus on high-quality, knowledge-dense data, precisely identifying and describing UI components. - UI Task Tuning Data: Constructed a comprehensive set of UI-related tasks, including descriptions, Q&A, pixel-level positioning, and interaction guides.
