- Abstract: We present SynthCLIP, a CLIP model trained on entirely synthetic text-image pairs. Leveraging recent text-to-image (TTI) networks and large language models (LLM), we generate synthetic datasets of images and corresponding captions at scale, with no human intervention. In this work, we provide an analysis on CLIP models trained on synthetic data. We provide insights on the data generation strategy, number of samples required, scaling trends, and resulting properties. We also introduce SynthCI-30M, a purely synthetic dataset comprising 30 million captioned images. Our code, trained models, and data, are released as open source at https://github.com/hammoudhasan/SynthCLIP

Every synthetic image ultimately originates from the upstream data used to train the generator.
We compare finetuning on task-relevant, targeted synthetic data generated by Stable Diffusion against finetuning on targeted real images retrieved directly from LAION-2B.
Our analysis suggests that this underperformance is partially due to generator artifacts and inaccurate task-relevant visual details in the synthetic images.

We introduce SynGround, a framework that combines data-driven learning and knowledge transfer from various large-scale pretrained models.
We finetune a pretrained vision-and-language model on this dataset by optimizing a mask-attention objective.
The resulting model improves the grounding capabilities of an off-the-shelf vision-and-language model.

We create synthetic image-text pairs for efficient and effective Visual-Language Models (VLMs) training.
Our method employs a pretrained text-to-image model to synthesize image embeddings from captions generated by an LLM.
Our VLM, finetuned on synthetic data achieves comparable performance to models trained solely on human-annotated data.

We introduce SynCLR, a novel approach for learning visual representations exclusively from synthetic images and synthetic captions.
We synthesize a large dataset of image captions using LLMs, then use an off-the-shelf text-to-image model to generate multiple images corresponding to each synthetic caption.
We perform visual representation learning on these synthetic images via contrastive learning, treating images sharing the same caption as positive pairs.

We demonstrate an Attentive-STIC network that shows an iterative drawing of synthesized images on the ImageNet dataset.
