Model Details
Model Description
A CLIP ViT-L/14 model trained with the DataComp-1B (https://github.com/mlfoundations/datacomp) using OpenCLIP (https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip).
Model training done on the stability.ai cluster.
Uses
As per the original OpenAI CLIP model card, this model is intended as a research output for research communities. We hope that this model will enable researchers to better understand and explore zero-shot, arbitrary image classification. We also hope it can be used for interdisciplinary studies of the potential impact of such model.
The OpenAI CLIP paper includes a discussion of potential downstream impacts to provide an example for this sort of analysis. Additionally, the DataComp paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.14108) include additional discussion as it relates specifically to the training dataset.
Direct Use
Zero-shot image classification, image and text retrieval, among others.
Downstream Use
Image classification and other image task fine-tuning, linear probe image classification, image generation guiding and conditioning, among others.
Out-of-Scope Use
As per the OpenAI models,
Any deployed use case of the model - whether commercial or not - is currently out of scope. Non-deployed use cases such as image search in a constrained environment, are also not recommended unless there is thorough in-domain testing of the model with a specific, fixed class taxonomy. This is because our safety assessment demonstrated a high need for task specific testing especially given the variability of CLIP’s performance with different class taxonomies. This makes untested and unconstrained deployment of the model in any use case currently potentially harmful.
Certain use cases which would fall under the domain of surveillance and facial recognition are always out-of-scope regardless of performance of the model. This is because the use of artificial intelligence for tasks such as these can be premature currently given the lack of testing norms and checks to ensure its fair use.
Training Details
Training Data
This model was trained with the 1.4 Billion samples of the DataComp-1B dataset (https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.14108).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The motivation behind dataset creation is to democratize research and experimentation around large-scale multi-modal model training and handling of uncurated, large-scale datasets crawled from publically available internet. Our recommendation is therefore to use the dataset for research purposes. Be aware that this large-scale dataset is uncurated. Keep in mind that the uncurated nature of the dataset means that collected links may lead to strongly discomforting and disturbing content for a human viewer. Therefore, please use the demo links with caution and at your own risk. It is possible to extract a “safe” subset by filtering out samples based on the safety tags (using a customized trained NSFW classifier that we built). While this strongly reduces the chance for encountering potentially harmful content when viewing, we cannot entirely exclude the possibility for harmful content being still present in safe mode, so that the warning holds also there. We think that providing the dataset openly to broad research and other interested communities will allow for transparent investigation of benefits that come along with training large-scale models as well as pitfalls and dangers that may stay unreported or unnoticed when working with closed large datasets that remain restricted to a small community. Providing our dataset openly, we however do not recommend using it for creating ready-to-go industrial products, as the basic research about general properties and safety of such large-scale models, which we would like to encourage with this release, is still in progress.
Training Procedure
Please see https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.14108.
Evaluation
Evaluation done on 38 datasets, using the DataComp repo and the LAION CLIP Benchmark.
Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
Testing Data
The testing is performed on a suite of 38 datasets. See our paper for more details (https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.14108).
Results
The model achieves a 79.2% zero-shot top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1k. See our paper for more details and results (https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.14108).
