ALIGN
ALIGN
In the ALIGN method, visual and language representations are jointly trained from noisy image alt-text data. The image and text encoders are learned via contrastive loss (formulated as normalized softmax) that pushes the embeddings of the matched image-text pair together and pushing those of non-matched image-text pair apart. The model learns to align visual and language representations of the image and text pairs using the contrastive loss. The representations can be used for vision-only or vision-language task transfer. Without any fine-tuning, ALIGN powers zero-shot visual classification and cross-modal search including image-to-text search, text-to image search and even search with joint image+text queries.
