Transformers’ AltCLIPVisionModel for Image-Text Matching

in

The output from each component is then fed into a projection layer to obtain logits_per_image and logits_per_text scores representing the similarity between each pair of images and texts. These scores can be used for various tasks such as image classification or retrieval based on text queries.

To use this model, you first need to download it from a pre-trained checkpoint (e.g., “BAAI/AltCLIP”) using the `from_pretrained` function provided by the Transformers library. Then, create an instance of the AutoProcessor class and pass in your input images or text descriptions as arguments. Finally, call the forward method on the model to obtain its output logits_per_image and logits_per_text scores.

Here’s some sample code that demonstrates how to use this model:

# Import necessary libraries
from PIL import Image # Import Image from PIL library for image processing
import requests # Import requests library for making HTTP requests
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AltCLIPVisionModel # Import AutoProcessor and AltCLIPVisionModel from transformers library

# Create an instance of AltCLIPVisionModel and pass in the pretrained model name as argument
model = AltCLIPVisionModel.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltCLIP")

# Create an instance of AutoProcessor and pass in the pretrained model name as argument
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltCLIP")

# Define the URL of the image to be processed
url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"

# Use requests library to get the image from the URL and open it using Image library
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

# Use the processor to preprocess the image and convert it into a PyTorch tensor
inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")

# Use the model to obtain the output logits_per_image and logits_per_text scores
outputs = model(**inputs)

# Get the last hidden state and pooled output from the model's output
last_hidden_state = outputs.last_hidden_state
pooled_output = outputs.pooler_output

In simpler terms, the ‘Transformers’ AltCLIPVisionModel is a fancy pre-trained machine learning model that can match images with their corresponding text descriptions using CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) framework. It takes in input images and text descriptions, processes them through its vision encoder (AltCLIPVisionModel), which uses ResNet-50 for image processing, and its text encoder (AltCLIPTextModel), which uses BERT for text encoding. The output logits_per_image and logits_per_text scores represent the similarity between each pair of images and texts, and can be used for various tasks such as image classification or retrieval based on text queries. To use this model, you need to download it from a pre-trained checkpoint using `from_pretrained` function provided by Transformers library, create an instance of AutoProcessor class, pass in your input images or text descriptions, and call the forward method on the model to obtain its output logits_per_image and logits_per_text scores.
