In the original LLaVA (Large Language and Vision Assistant) training pipeline, what is the purpose of the 'visual instruction tuning' stage?
A.Applying RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) on VLM outputs rated by human annotators to align visual responses with human preferences
B.Pre-training the vision encoder on large-scale image-caption pairs to align visual features with the language embedding space before connecting them to an LLM
C.Training a projection layer that maps CLIP image embeddings into the LLM's token embedding space while keeping both CLIP and the language model frozen
D.Fine-tuning the language model on image-text instruction-following pairs to teach it to respond to visual questions and instructions
