clip-retrieval VS CLIP

The tool clip-retreival lets you filter those 400 million images to whatever subsets you're interested in --- for example, 10,000 images of (mostly) handwriting.

Hehe, well you know, PR welcome, the front end is 500 lines https://github.com/rom1504/clip-retrieval/blob/main/front/sr...

Other people have done a few alternate front ends already

This one is meant to be functional, but could sure be made prettier

HaveIBeenTrained uses clip retrieval to search the Laion-5B and Laion-400M image datasets. These are currently the largest public text-to-image datsets, and they are used to train models like Stable Diffusion, Imagen, among many others.

Using clip for searching is better than direct text indexing for a variety of reasons but here for example because it matches better what stable diffusion sees

Based on OpenAI's CLIP and the clip-retrieval library (https://github.com/rom1504/clip-retrieval), I've built an end-to-end demo for a semantic and similarity image search engine. It's incredibly powerful for finding similar images amongst large image datasets, or just submitting text/natural language queries and finding the most relevant images in your dataset. Really useful tool for introspection into large datasets before annotation or ML work begins. This could potentially be used to filter or downsize your datasets by several orders of magnitude and make annotation and ML work easier and less costly.

Assuming you have an NVIDIA GPU, you can build a semantic search engine by indexing CLIP embeds (image or text).

We will also need two more libraries: OpenAI’s CLIP GitHub repo, enabling us to generate image features with the CLIP model, and the umap-learn library, which will let us apply a dimensionality reduction technique called Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) to those features to visualize them in 2D:

Biggest missing feature for all these self hosted photo hosting is the lack of a real search. Being able to search for things like "beach at night" is a time saver instead of browsing through hundreds or thousands of photos. There are trained neural networks out there like https://github.com/openai/CLIP which are quite good.

In computer vision, this is known as zero-shot learning, or zero-shot prediction, because the goal is to generate predictions without explicitly being given any example predictions to learn from. With the advent of high quality multimodal models like CLIP and foundation models like Segment Anything, it is now possible to generate remarkably good zero-shot predictions for a variety of computer vision tasks, including:

the first thing that comes to mind is CLIP: https://github.com/openai/CLIP

Whenever I’m working on semantic search applications that connect images and text, I start with a family of models known as contrastive language image pre-training (CLIP). These models are trained on image-text pairs to generate similar vector representations or embeddings for images and their captions, and dissimilar vectors when images are paired with other text strings. There are multiple CLIP-style models, including OpenCLIP and MetaCLIP, but for simplicity we’ll focus on the original CLIP model from OpenAI. No model is perfect, and at a fundamental level there is no right way to compare images and text, but CLIP certainly provides a good starting point.

in the modal card it says: pretrained text encoders (OpenCLIP-ViT/G and CLIP-ViT/L).

CLIP might work for your needs.
