This repository contains source code necessary to reproduce the results presented in the paper ZeroVL: A Strong Baseline for Aligning Vision-Language Representations with Limited Resources.

Pioneering dual-encoder pre-training works (e.g., CLIP and ALIGN) require a tremendous amount of data and computational resources (e.g., billion-level web data and hundreds of GPUs), which prevent researchers with limited resources from reproduction and further exploration. To this end, we provide a comprehensive training guidance, which allows us to conduct dual-encoder multi-modal representation alignment with limited resources. Meanwhile, we provide a reproducible strong baseline of competitive results, namely ZeroVL, with publicly accessible academic datasets and a popular experimental environment.
