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.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
