📣 News

• [2024/10/14]:✨The training data YFCC15M has been released in 🤗Hugging Face.
• [2024/09/20]:🎉RWKV-CLIP has been aeecpted by EMNLP2024(Main)
• [2024/06/25]:✨The training code and pertrained weight of RWKV-CLIP have been released.
• [2024/06/11]:✨The paper of RWKV-CLIP is submitted to arXiv.

💡 Highlights

We introduce a diverse description generation framework that can leverage Large Language Models(LLMs) to synthesize and refine content from web-based texts, synthetic captions, and detection tags. Beneficial form detection tags, more semantic information can be introduced from images, which in turn further constrains LLMs and mitigates hallucinations.

We propose RWKV-CLIP, the first RWKV-driven vision-language representation learning model that combines the effective parallel training of transformers with the efficient inference of RNNs.

🎨 In-Progress

• Release training code
• Release pretrain model weight
• Release 70k Instruction Dataset
• Release the generated diverse descriptions of YFCC15M

Environment installation

conda create -n rwkv_clip python=3.10 -y
conda activate rwkv_clip

pip install torch==2.1.2 torchvision==0.16.2 torchaudio==2.1.2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
pip install -U openmim
mim install mmcv-full==1.7.2
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

git clone https://github.com/deepglint/RWKV-CLIP.git
cd RWKV-CLIP

import os
import clip
import json
import torch
import warnings
from PIL import Image
from torch.nn import functional as F
from open_clip.transform import image_transform
from model_config.utils_notebook import load_model_configs
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')
args = load_model_configs('model_config/RWKV_CLIP_B32.json')
from model.utils import create_RWKV_Model

transform = image_transform(args.input_size, False)
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

# Transfer to input type
image = transform(Image.open("figure/Diverse_description_generation_00.png")).unsqueeze(0).to(device) 
text = clip.tokenize(["a diagram", "a dog", "a cat"]).to(device)

# Load model
RWKV_CLIP_model = create_RWKV_Model(args, model_weight_path = "Model_pretrained_weight.pt").to(device)
RWKV_CLIP_model.eval()

# Calculate score
with torch.no_grad():
    image_features, text_features, logit_scale = RWKV_CLIP_model(image, text)
    image_features /= image_features.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True)
    text_features /= text_features.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True)
    text_probs = (100.0 * image_features @ text_features.T).softmax(dim=-1)
print("Label probs: ", text_probs.tolist()) # Label probs: [[1., 0., 0.]]

Instruction Dataset

• The 70K instruction dataset used to finetune LLaMA3 can be download from the Google Drive or BaiduYun

Download YFCC15M

• The YFCC15M dataset we used is YFCC15M-DeCLIP, we download it from the repo, finally we successful donwload 15061515 image-text pairs.

• The YFCC15M dataset we used to train RWKV-CLIP has been released in Hugging Face.

Generate rec files

• To improve the training efficience, we use MXNet to save the YFCC15M dataset to rec file, and use NVIDIA DALI to accelerate data loading and pre-processing. The sample code to generate rec files is in data2rec.py.

Pretrained Model Weight

• You can download the pretrained model weight of RWKV-CLIP-B/32 from Google Drive or BaiduYun
