TinyCLIP: CLIP Distillation via Affinity Mimicking and Weight Inheritance
[ICCV 2023] - TinyCLIP: CLIP Distillation via Affinity Mimicking and Weight Inheritance
TinyCLIP is a novel cross-modal distillation method for large-scale language-image pre-trained models. The method introduces two core techniques: affinity mimicking and weight inheritance. This work unleashes the capacity of small CLIP models, fully leveraging large-scale models as well as pre-training data and striking the best trade-off between speed and accuracy.
Use with Transformers
from PIL import Image
import requests
from transformers import CLIPProcessor, CLIPModel
model = CLIPModel.from_pretrained("wkcn/TinyCLIP-ViT-40M-32-Text-19M-LAION400M")
processor = CLIPProcessor.from_pretrained("wkcn/TinyCLIP-ViT-40M-32-Text-19M-LAION400M")
url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(text=["a photo of a cat", "a photo of a dog"], images=image, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
outputs = model(**inputs)
logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image # this is the image-text similarity score
probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=1) # we can take the softmax to get the label probabilities
Highlights
- TinyCLIP ViT-45M/32 uses only half parameters of ViT-B/32 to achieves comparable zero-shot performance.
- TinyCLIP ResNet-19M reduces the parameters by 50% while getting 2x inference speedup, and obtains 56.4% accuracy on ImageNet.
