The CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) model, a groundbreaking work by OpenAI, redefines the intersection of computer vision and natural language processing. It is the basis of all the multi-modal foundation models we see today.

How does CLIP work?

Goal: Learn a shared embedding space for text and image

Setup

Step 1 of 13: Given

  • A mini batch of 3 text-image pairs

  • OpenAI used 400 million text-image pairs to train its original CLIP model.

Embeddings

Step 2 of 13: Text → Vectors

  • Look up word embedding vectors using word2vec.


Step 3 of 13: Image → Vectors

  • Divide the image into two patches.

  • Flatten each patch
