What is chinese-clip-vit-base-patch16?
Chinese CLIP is a powerful multimodal model that bridges Chinese text and visual content using contrastive learning. It employs a ViT-B/16 architecture for image encoding and RoBERTa-wwm-base for text processing, trained on an extensive dataset of 200 million Chinese image-text pairs.
Implementation Details
The model implements a dual-encoder architecture that processes images and text separately before computing similarity scores. It achieves state-of-the-art performance in various Chinese vision-language tasks, including zero-shot classification and cross-modal retrieval.
- Utilizes Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture with 16x16 patch size
- Implements contrastive learning approach similar to OpenAI's CLIP
- Supports zero-shot classification capabilities
- Provides both image and text feature extraction
Core Capabilities
