• CLIP Learning Transferable Visual Models From Natural Language Supervision (27 Sep 2022)
  

  This my reading note on Learning Transferable Visual Models From Natural Language Supervision. The proposed method is called Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training or CLIP. State-of-the-art computer vision systems are trained to predict a fixed set of predetermined object categories. We demonstrate that the simple pre-training task of predicting which caption (freeform text instead of strict labeling) goes with which image is an efficient and scalable way to learn SOTA image representations from scratch on a dataset of 400 million (image, text) pairs collected from the internet. After pre-training, natural language is used to reference learned visual concepts (or describe new ones) enabling zero-shot transfer of the model to downstream tasks.
