【ICCV2023】ALIP: Adaptive Language-Image Pre-training with Synthetic Caption

Author: Kaicheng Yang, Jiankang Deng, Xiang An, Jiawei Li, Ziyong Feng, Jia Guo, Jing Yang, Tongliang Liu

Introduction

Adaptive Language-Image Pre-training (ALIP) is a bi-path model that integrates supervision from both raw text and synthetic caption. As the core components of ALIP, the Language Consistency Gate (LCG) and Description Consistency Gate (DCG) dynamically adjust the weights of samples and image-text/caption pairs during the training process. Meanwhile, the adaptive contrastive loss can effectively reduce the impact of noise data and enhances the efficiency of pre-training data.

📣 News

• (2023.8.15): ✨Code has been released❗️
• (2023.7.14): ✨Our paper is accepted to ICCV2023❗️

Instructions

• Environment installation

  pip install -r requirments.txt
  

• Dataset preparation

  1、Download YFCC15M

  The YFCC15M dataset we used is YFCC15M-DeCLIP, we download it from the repo, finally we successful donwload 15061515 image-text pairs.

  2、Generate synthetic caption

  In our paper, we use OFA model to generate synthetic captions. You can download model weight and scripts from the OFA project.

  3、Generate rec files

  To improve the training efficience, we use MXNet to save the YFCC15M dataset to rec file, and use NVIDIA DALI to accelerate data loading and pre-processing. The sample code to generate rec files is in data2rec.py.

• Pretrained Model Weight

  You can download the pretrained model weight from Google Drive or BaiduYun, and you can find the traning log in Google Drive or BaiduYun

• Training

  Start training by run

  bash scripts/train_yfcc15m_B32_ALIP.sh
  

• Evaluation
