Introduction

This project aims to provide a better Chinese CLIP model. The training data used in this project consists of publicly accessible image URLs and related Chinese text descriptions, totaling 400 million. After screening, we ultimately used 100 million data for training. This project is produced by QQ-ARC Joint Lab, Tencent PCG.

Getting Started

Installation Requirements

Environment configuration requirements:

python >= 3.6.4
pytorch >= 1.8.0 (with torchvision >= 0.9.0)
CUDA Version >= 10.2

Install required packages:

cd /yourpath/QA-CLIP-main
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Inference Code

export PYTHONPATH=/yourpath/QA-CLIP-main

Inference code example：

import torch 
from PIL import Image

import clip as clip
from clip import load_from_name, available_models
print("Available models:", available_models())  
# Available models: ['ViT-B-16', 'ViT-L-14', 'RN50']

device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
model, preprocess = load_from_name("ViT-B-16", device=device, download_root='./')
model.eval()
image = preprocess(Image.open("examples/pokemon.jpeg")).unsqueeze(0).to(device)
text = clip.tokenize(["杰尼龟", "妙蛙种子", "小火龙", "皮卡丘"]).to(device)

with torch.no_grad():
    image_features = model.encode_image(image)
    text_features = model.encode_text(text)
    # Normalize the features. Please use the normalized features for downstream tasks.
    image_features /= image_features.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True) 
    text_features /= text_features.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True)    

    logits_per_image, logits_per_text = model.get_similarity(image, text)
    probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=-1).cpu().numpy()

print("Label probs:", probs)

Huggingface Model and Online Demo

We have open-sourced our model on the HuggingFace for easier access and utilization. Additionally, we have prepared a simple online demo for zero-shot classification, allowing everyone to experience it firsthand. We encourage you to give it a try!
