Recently, the astonishing performance of large language models (LLMs) in
natural language comprehension and generation tasks triggered lots of
exploration of using them as central controllers to build agent systems.
Multiple studies focus on bridging the LLMs to external tools to extend the
application scenarios. However, the current LLMs' perceiving tool-use ability
is limited to a single text query, which may result in ambiguity in
understanding the users' real intentions. LLMs are expected to eliminate that
by perceiving the visual- or auditory-grounded instructions' information.
Therefore, in this paper, we propose Tool-LMM, a system incorporating
open-source LLMs and multi-modal encoders so that the learnt LLMs can be
conscious of multi-modal input instruction and then select the function-matched
tool correctly. To facilitate the evaluation of the model's capability, we
collect a dataset featured by consisting of multi-modal input tools from
HuggingFace. Another important feature of our dataset is that our dataset also
contains multiple potential choices for the same instruction due to the
existence of identical functions and synonymous functions, which provides more
potential solutions for the same query. The experiments reveal that our LMM is
capable of recommending appropriate tools for multi-modal instructions. Codes

通过使用多模态编码器将开源大语言模型（LLM）与多模态输入指令结合起来，我们提出了 Tool-LMM 系统，使学习的 LLMs 能够意识到多模态输入指令并正确选择匹配功能的工具，实验证明我们的 LMM 能够为多模态指令推荐适当的工具。
