CLIP — Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining

CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) is a vision-language model introduced by Radford et al. at OpenAI in 2021 that jointly learns aligned image and text representations by training on 400 million internet-sourced image-text pairs using a contrastive objective, enabling zero-shot transfer to image classification tasks without any task-specific fine-tuning.
