Multilingual-CLIP

OpenAI CLIP text encoders for any language

Overview

OpenAI recently released the paper Learning Transferable Visual Models From Natural Language Supervision in which they present the CLIP (Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training) model. This model is trained to connect text and images, by matching their corresponding vector representations using a contrastive learning objective. CLIP consists of two separate models, a visual encoder and a text encoder. These were trained on a wooping 400 Million images and corresponding captions. OpenAI has since released a set of their smaller CLIP models, which can be found on the official CLIP Github.

This repository contains

• Pre-trained CLIP-Text encoders for multiple languages
• Pytorch & Tensorflow inference code
• Tensorflow training code

Requirements

While it is possible that other versions works equally fine, we have worked with the following:

• Python = 3.6.9
• Transformers = 4.8.1

Install

pip install multilingual-clip torch

You can also choose to pip install tensorflow instead of torch.

Inference Usage

Inference code for Tensorflow is also available in inference_example.py

from multilingual_clip import pt_multilingual_clip
import transformers

texts = [
    'Three blind horses listening to Mozart.',
    'Älgen är skogens konung!',
    'Wie leben Eisbären in der Antarktis?',
    'Вы знали, что все белые медведи левши?'
]
model_name = 'M-CLIP/XLM-Roberta-Large-Vit-L-14'

# Load Model & Tokenizer
model = pt_multilingual_clip.MultilingualCLIP.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

embeddings = model.forward(texts, tokenizer)
print(embeddings.shape)

Install for development

Setup a virtualenv:

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Pre-trained Models

Every text encoder is a Huggingface available transformer, with an additional linear layer on top. For more information of a specific model, click the Model Name to see its model card.

The training curves for these models are available at this Weights and Biases.

Legacy Usage and Models

Older versions of M-CLIP had the linear weights stored separately from Huggingface. Whilst the new models have them directly incorporated in the Huggingface repository. More information about these older models can be found in this section.

Click for more information

Download CLIP Model

$ conda install --yes -c pytorch pytorch=1.7.1 torchvision cudatoolkit=11.0
$ pip install ftfy regex tqdm
$ pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git

Replace cudatoolkit=11.0 above with the appropriate CUDA version on your machine or cpuonly when installing on a machine without a GPU. For more information please see the official CLIP repostitory.

Download Linear Weights

# Linear Model Weights
$ bash legacy_get-weights.sh

Inference

from multilingual_clip import multilingual_clip

print(multilingual_clip.AVAILABLE_MODELS.keys())

model = multilingual_clip.load_model('M-BERT-Distil-40')

embeddings = model(['Älgen är skogens konung!', 'Wie leben Eisbären in der Antarktis?', 'Вы знали, что все белые медведи левши?'])
print(embeddings.shape)
# Yields: torch.Size([3, 640])

For a more elaborate example, comparing the textual embeddings to the CLIP image embeddings see this colab notebook.

Legacy Pre-trained Models

Every text encoder is a Huggingface available transformer, with an additional linear layer on top. Neither of the models have been extensively tested, but for more information and qualitative test results for a specific model, click the Model Name to see its model card.

*** Make sure to update to the most recent version of the repostitory when downloading a new model, and re-run the shell script to download the Linear Weights. ***

Training a new model

This folder contains the code used for training the above models. If you wsh to train your own model you must do the following things:

• Prepare a set of translated sentence pairs from English -> Your Language(s)
• Compute regular CLIP-Text embeddings for the English sentences.
• Edit Training.py to load your data.
• Train a new CLIP-Text encoder via Teacher Learning

Pre-computed CLIP Embeddings & Translaton Data

This Google Drive folder contains both pre-computed CLIP-Text Embeddings for a large porton of the the image captions of GCC + MSCOCO + VizWiz.

The Google Drive folder also contains the translation data used to train the currently available models. Good Luck
