Study compares LLM adaptation methods for driving video captioning

A comparative study explored various fine-tuning and prompting methods for adapting pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) to the domain of autonomous driving video captioning. The research focused on applying these techniques to the SpaceTimeGPT model using the BDD-X dataset. Results indicated that full fine-tuning frameworks achieved strong performance on automatic metrics, sometimes surpassing baseline models, while Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and prompt engineering on the VideoLLaVA model showed limitations. AI

IMPACT This research could inform the development of more effective LLM adaptation techniques for specialized domains like autonomous driving.

    Comparative study of adapting pre-trained models for driving behavior video captioning

    arXiv:2609.39542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This report examines and compares some of the many fine tuning and prompting methods existing, applying them within the domain of autonomous driving. The idea is to compare these methods by adapting a Large Language Model (LLM) on a…
