# Introduction
This project aims to provide a better Chinese CLIP model. The training data used in this project consists of publicly accessible image URLs and related Chinese text descriptions, totaling 400 million. After screening, we ultimately used 100 million data for training.
This project is produced by QQ-ARC Joint Lab, Tencent PCG.
# Models and Results
## Model Card
QA-CLIP currently has three different open-source models of different sizes, and their model information and download links are shown in the table below:
| Model | Ckp | Params | Vision | Params of Vision | Text | Params of Text | Resolution |
| QA-CLIPRN50 | Download | 77M | ResNet50 | 38M | RBT3 | 39M | 224 |
| QA-CLIPViT-B/16 | Download | 188M | ViT-B/16 | 86M | RoBERTa-wwm-Base | 102M | 224 |
| QA-CLIPViT-L/14 | Download | 406M | ViT-L/14 | 304M | RoBERTa-wwm-Base | 102M | 224 |
## Results
We conducted zero-shot tests on [MUGE Retrieval](https://tianchi.aliyun.com/muge), [Flickr30K-CN](https://github.com/li-xirong/cross-lingual-cap), and [COCO-CN](https://github.com/li-xirong/coco-cn) datasets for image-text retrieval tasks. For the image zero-shot classification task, we tested on the ImageNet dataset. The test results are shown in the table below:

# Getting Started
## Installation Requirements
Environment configuration requirements:
* python >= 3.6.4
* pytorch >= 1.8.0 (with torchvision >= 0.9.0)
* CUDA Version >= 10.2
Install required packages:
```bash
cd /yourpath/QA-CLIP-main
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Inference Code
```bash
export PYTHONPATH=/yourpath/QA-CLIP-main
```
Inference code example：
```python
import torch
from PIL import Image
import clip as clip
from clip import load_from_name, available_models
print("Available models:", available_models())
# Available models: ['ViT-B-16', 'ViT-L-14', 'RN50']
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
model, preprocess = load_from_name("ViT-B-16", device=device, download_root='./')
model.eval()
image = preprocess(Image.open("examples/pokemon.jpeg")).unsqueeze(0).to(device)
text = clip.tokenize(["杰尼龟", "妙蛙种子", "小火龙", "皮卡丘"]).to(device)
with torch.no_grad():
image_features = model.encode_image(image)
text_features = model.encode_text(text)
# Normalize the features. Please use the normalized features for downstream tasks.
image_features /= image_features.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True)
text_features /= text_features.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True)
logits_per_image, logits_per_text = model.get_similarity(image, text)
probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=-1).cpu().numpy()
print("Label probs:", probs)
```
