• 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

  Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) models maximize the mutual information between text and visual modalities to learn representations. We show that generating hard'' negative captions via in-context learning and corresponding negative images with text-to-image generators offers a solution. We demonstrate that our method, named TripletCLIP, enhances the compositional capabilities of CLIP, resulting in an absolute improvement of over 9% on the SugarCrepe benchmark.

  We design a emphcontrollable image-text synthesis pipeline, Ctrl Synth, for data-efficient and robust learning.

We show that Ctrl Synth substantially improves zero-shot classification, image-text retrieval, and compositional reasoning performance of CLIP models.

  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 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 analyze the relationship between the training effect of synthetic data and the synthetic data distribution induced by prompts. We propose a simple yet effective method that prompts text-to-image generative models to synthesize more informative and diverse training data. Our method significantly improves the performance of models trained on synthetic training data.

  We show the generative capability of an image classifier network by synthesizing high-resolution, photo-realistic, and diverse images at scale. The overall methodology, called Synthesize-It-Classifier (STIC), does not require an explicit generator network to estimate the density of the data distribution. We demonstrate an Attentive-STIC network that shows an iterative drawing of synthesized images on the ImageNet dataset.
