CLIP’s Architecture
Understanding the architecture of CLIP is key to grasping how it achieves its remarkable capabilities in connecting images and text.
Image Encoder
- Function: The image encoder processes visual information. It analyzes and converts images into numerical representations (embeddings).
- Architecture: It typically uses a deep convolutional neural network, which is adept at handling visual data.
Text Encoder
- Function: The text encoder processes textual information. It converts text into embeddings that are comparable to those from the image encoder.
- Architecture: This part often employs a transformer-based model, known for its effectiveness in handling natural
