Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training is a technique for pre-training vision-and-language models like CLIP. The key idea is to alternate between two pre-training objectives: 1. Masked language modeling (MLM) on text only 2. Contrastive learning between text and images The two objectives are trained iteratively, with the image-text alignment objective bootstrapping off of the improvements in language modeling from the MLM objective. This allows the model to gradually build connections between textual concepts and visual concepts. The bootstrapping approach allows the model to learn richer associations than training the two objectives jointly from the start. In experiments, models pre-trained with this bootstrapping approach achieved state-of-the-art results on vision-language tasks.

  This is my reading note for Subject-Diffusion:Open Domain Personalized Text-to-Image Generation without Test-time Fine-tuning. This paper propose a diffusion method to generate images with given visual concepts and text prompt. Especially the paper is able to hand multiple visual concert jointly. To handle that, the paper detect the visual concepts from the input images, then the segmented images and bounding box are encoded feed into latent diffusion model. To enhance the consistency, the visual embedding is inserted into the text encode of the prompt.
