CLIP Model and The Importance of Multimodal Embeddings

CLIP, which stands for Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining, is a deep learning model developed by OpenAI in 2021. CLIP’s embeddings for images and text share the same space, enabling direct comparisons between the two modalities. This is accomplished by training the model to bring related images and texts closer together while pushing unrelated ones apart.

Some applications of CLIP include:

1. Image Classification and Retrieval: CLIP can be used for image classification tasks by associating images with natural language descriptions. It allows …
