• Authors: Chanda Grover, Indra Deep Mastan, Debayan Gupta
• Abstract summary: We propose ContextCLIP, a contextual and contrastive learning framework for the contextual alignment of image-text pairs. Our framework was observed to improve the image-text alignment by aligning text and image representations contextually in the joint embedding space. ContextCLIP showed good qualitative performance for text-to-image retrieval tasks and enhanced classification accuracy.

• Abstract: State-of-the-art empirical work has shown that visual representations learned by deep neural networks are robust in nature and capable of performing classification tasks on diverse datasets. For example, CLIP demonstrated zero-shot transfer performance on multiple datasets for classification tasks in a joint embedding space of image and text pairs. However, it showed negative transfer performance on standard datasets, e.g., BirdsNAP, RESISC45, and MNIST. In this paper, we propose ContextCLIP, a contextual and contrastive learning framework for the contextual alignment of image-text pairs by learning robust visual representations on Conceptual Captions dataset. Our framework was observed to improve the image-text alignment by aligning text and image representations contextually in the joint embedding space. ContextCLIP showed good qualitative performance for text-to-image retrieval tasks and enhanced classification accuracy. We evaluated our model quantitatively with zero-shot transfer and fine-tuning experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, Birdsnap, RESISC45, and MNIST datasets for classification task.

  We propose an approach to train vision-language models such as CLIP in a contrastive manner to reason about differences in embedding space. We first demonstrate that our approach yields significantly improved capabilities in ranking images by a certain attribute. We also illustrate that the resulting embeddings obey a larger degree of geometric properties in embedding space.

  We introduce Compositional Alignment (ComAlign) to discover more exact correspondence of text and image components. Our methodology emphasizes that the compositional structure extracted from the text modality must also be retained in the image modality. We train a lightweight network lying on top of existing visual and language encoders using a small dataset.

  Previous works leverage the CLIP's cross-modal association ability for image captioning, relying solely on textual information under unsupervised settings. This paper proposes a novel method to address these issues by incorporating synthetic image-text pairs. A pre-trained text-to-image model is deployed to obtain images that correspond to textual data, and the pseudo features of generated images are optimized toward the real ones in the CLIP embedding space.

We show that the scale of our corpus can make up for its noise and leads to state-of-the-art representations even with such a simple learning scheme.
