What is clip-vit-large-patch14?
CLIP-ViT-Large-Patch14 is OpenAI's powerful vision-language model that uses a Vision Transformer architecture for zero-shot image classification. It employs a dual-encoder approach with a ViT-L/14 Transformer for image processing and a masked self-attention Transformer for text processing, trained to maximize image-text pair similarity through contrastive learning.
Implementation Details
The model architecture consists of two main components: a ViT-L/14 image encoder and a text encoder, both using transformer architectures. It processes images in 14x14 pixel patches and has been trained on a massive dataset of image-caption pairs collected from various internet sources.
