VisionTextDualEncoder

##
Overview

The VisionTextDualEncoderModel can be used to initialize a vision-text dual encoder model with any pretrained vision autoencoding model as the vision encoder (e.g. ViT, BEiT, DeiT) and any pretrained text autoencoding model as the text encoder (e.g. RoBERTa, BERT). Two projection layers are added on top of both the vision and text encoder to project the output embeddings to a shared latent space. The projection layers are randomly initialized so the model should be fine-tuned on a downstream task. This model can be used to align the vision-text embeddings using CLIP like contrastive image-text training and then can be used for zero-shot vision tasks such image-classification or retrieval.

In LiT: Zero-Shot Transfer with Locked-image Text Tuning it is shown how leveraging pre-trained (locked/frozen) image and text model for contrastive learning yields significant improvement on new zero-shot vision tasks such as image classification or retrieval.

VisionTextDualEncoderConfig

###
class transformers.VisionTextDualEncoderConfig

< source >

( projection_dim = 512 logit_scale_init_value = 2.6592 **kwargs )

Parameters

- projection_dim (`int`, optional, defaults to 512) — Dimentionality of text and vision projection layers.
- logit_scale_init_value (`float`, optional, defaults to 2.6592) — The inital value of the logit_scale paramter. Default is used as per the original CLIP implementation.
- kwargs (optional) — Dictionary of keyword arguments.

VisionTextDualEncoderConfig is the configuration class to store the configuration of a VisionTextDualEncoderModel. It is used to instantiate VisionTextDualEncoderModel model according to the specified arguments, defining the text model and vision model configs.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Examples:

    >>> from transformers import ViTConfig, BertConfig, VisionTextDualEncoderConfig, VisionTextDualEncoderModel

    >>> # Initializing a BERT and ViT configuration
    >>> config_vision = ViTConfig()
    >>> config_text = BertConfig()

    >>> config = VisionTextDualEncoderConfig.from_vision_text_configs(config_vision, config_text, projection_dim=512)

    >>> # Initializing a BERT and ViT model (with random weights)
    >>> model = VisionTextDualEncoderModel(config=config)

    >>> # Accessing the model configuration
    >>> config_vision = model.config.vision_config
    >>> config_text = model.config.text_config

    >>> # Saving the model, including its configuration
    >>> model.save_pretrained("vit-bert")

    >>> # loading model and config from pretrained folder
    >>> vision_text_config = VisionTextDualEncoderConfig.from_pretrained("vit-bert")
    >>> model = VisionTextDualEncoderModel.from_pretrained("vit-bert", config=vision_text_config)

VisionTextDualEncoderModel

###
class transformers.VisionTextDualEncoderModel

< source >

( config: Optional = None vision_model: Optional = None text_model: Optional = None )

Parameters

- config (VisionEncoderDecoderConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

This class can be used to initialize a vision-text dual encoder model with any pretrained vision autoencoding model as the vision encoder and any pretrained text model as the text encoder. The vision and text encoders are loaded via the from_pretrained() method. The projection layers are automatically added to the model and should be fine-tuned on a downstream task, like contrastive image-text modeling.

In LiT: Zero-Shot Transfer with Locked-image Text Tuning it is shown how leveraging pre-trained (locked/frozen) image and text model for contrastive learning yields significant improvment on new zero-shot vision tasks such as image classification or retrieval.

After such a Vision-Text-Dual-Encoder model has been trained/fine-tuned, it can be saved/loaded just like any other models (see the examples for more information).

This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

- input_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

  Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

  What are input IDs?

  - 0 for tokens that are masked.

  What are attention masks?

- position_ids (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, optional) — Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.max_position_embeddings - 1]`.

  What are position IDs?

- pixel_values (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, num_channels, height, width)`) — Pixel values. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it. Pixel values can be obtained using an image processor (e.g. if you use ViT as the encoder, you should use AutoImageProcessor). See ViTImageProcessor.call() for details.
- return_loss (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the contrastive loss.
- output_attentions (`bool`, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned tensors for more detail.

- loss (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, optional, returned when `return_loss` is `True`) — Contrastive loss for image-text similarity.
- logits_per_image:(`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(image_batch_size, text_batch_size)`) — The scaled dot product scores between `image_embeds` and `text_embeds`. This represents the image-text similarity scores.
- logits_per_text:(`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(text_batch_size, image_batch_size)`) — The scaled dot product scores between `text_embeds` and `image_embeds`. This represents the text-image similarity scores.

< source >

( config: VisionTextDualEncoderConfig input_shape: Optional = None seed: int = 0 dtype: dtype = <class 'jax.numpy.float32'> _do_init: bool = True **kwargs )

Parameters

- config (VisionTextDualEncoderConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.
- dtype (`jax.numpy.dtype`, optional, defaults to `jax.numpy.float32`) — The data type of the computation. Can be one of `jax.numpy.float32`, `jax.numpy.float16` (on GPUs) and `jax.numpy.bfloat16` (on TPUs).

  This can be used to enable mixed-precision training or half-precision inference on GPUs or TPUs. If specified all the computation will be performed with the given `dtype`.

  Note that this only specifies the dtype of the computation and does not influence the dtype of model parameters.

  If you wish to change the dtype of the model parameters, see to_fp16() and to_bf16().

This class can be used to initialize a vision-text dual encoder model with any pretrained vision autoencoding model as the vision encoder and any pretrained text model as the text encoder.

Finally, this model supports inherent JAX features such as:

- Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation
