SEA-CLIP-Tiny — ablation: CLIP + CRD
One row of the ablation table of SEA-CLIP-Tiny (ACCV 2026). Same architecture, pipeline and hyperparameters as the main model; the difference is the distillation objective: contrastive + contrastive relational distillation only.
Usage
import open_clip
model, _, preprocess = open_clip.create_model_and_transforms('hf-hub:fassabilf/sea-clip-tiny-abl-loss-crd')
tokenizer = open_clip.get_tokenizer('hf-hub:fassabilf/sea-clip-tiny-abl-loss-crd')
Model
| Architecture | ViT-T/16 vision tower + 12-layer / 384-wide text tower, embed dim 512 |
| Tokenizer | CLIP BPE, vocab 49408, context length 77 |
| Parameters | 46.11M (5.62M vision + 40.49M text) |
| Training data | CC12M + CulturalGround-OE-filt + WIT + Bloom + Mammoth-VL-SEA (12.72M pairs) |
| Teacher | MetaCLIP2-ViT-B-16-worldwide |
Results
Retrieval R@1 on the held-out splits of each training source, zero-shot ImageNet accuracy, and the paper's retrieval-only Avg@1 over XM3600, Flickr30k-200 and XTD-200 (%).
| CG R@1 | WIT R@1 | Bloom R@1 | ImageNet | R@1-Avg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28.5 | 20.3 | 11.3 | 32.7 | 9.3 |
