Model Card for CLIP ViT-B/32 roberta base - LAION-2B

Table of Contents

Model Details

Model Description

A CLIP ViT-B/32 roberta base model trained with the LAION-2B English subset of LAION-5B ( https://laion.ai/blog/laion-5b/ ) using OpenCLIP ( https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip ).

Model training done by Romain Beaumont on the stability.ai cluster.

Uses

Direct Use

Zero-shot image classification, image and text retrieval, among others.

Downstream Use

Image classification and other image task fine-tuning, linear probe image classification, image generation guiding and conditioning, among others.

Training Details

Training Data

This model was trained with the 2 Billion sample English subset of LAION-5B ( https://laion.ai/blog/laion-5b/ ).

Training Procedure

Training with batch size 32k for 12B sample of laion2B-en, see https://wandb.ai/rom1504/open-clip/reports/clip-B-32-roberta-base--VmlldzoyOTM0NDQ3

Model is B/32 on visual side, roberta base initialized with pretrained weights on text side.

Evaluation

Evaluation done with code in the LAION CLIP Benchmark suite .

Testing Data, Factors & Metrics

Testing Data

The testing is performed with VTAB+ (A combination of VTAB ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.04867 ) w/ additional robustness datasets) for classification and COCO and Flickr for retrieval.

Results

The model achieves

• imagenet 1k 61.7% (vs 62.9% for baseline)
• mscoco 63% (vs 60.8% for baseline)
• flickr30k 86.7% (vs 85.4% for baseline)
