# VisionTextDualEncoder and CLIP model training examples

The following example showcases how to train a CLIP-like vision-text dual encoder model
using a pre-trained vision and text encoder.

Such a model can be used for natural language image search and potentially zero-shot image classification.
The model is inspired by [CLIP](https://openai.com/blog/clip/), introduced by Alec Radford et al.
The idea is to train a vision encoder and a text encoder jointly to project the representation of images and their
captions into the same embedding space, such that the caption embeddings are located near the embeddings
of the images they describe.

### Download COCO dataset (2017)
This example uses COCO dataset (2017) through a custom dataset script, which requires users to manually download the
COCO dataset before training.

```bash
mkdir data
cd data
wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2017.zip
wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/val2017.zip
wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/test2017.zip
wget http://images.cocodataset.org/annotations/annotations_trainval2017.zip
wget http://images.cocodataset.org/annotations/image_info_test2017.zip
cd ..
```

Having downloaded COCO dataset manually you should be able to load with the `ydshieh/coc_dataset_script` dataset loading script:

```py
import os
import datasets

COCO_DIR = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "data")
ds = datasets.load_dataset("ydshieh/coco_dataset_script", "2017", data_dir=COCO_DIR)
```

### Create a model from a vision encoder model and a text encoder model
Next, we create a [VisionTextDualEncoderModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/vision-text-dual-encoder#visiontextdualencoder).
The `VisionTextDualEncoderModel` class lets you load any vision and text encoder model to create a dual encoder.
Here is an example of how to load the model using pre-trained vision and text models.

```python3
from transformers import (
    VisionTextDualEncoderModel,
    VisionTextDualEncoderProcessor,
    AutoTokenizer,
    AutoImageProcessor
)

model = VisionTextDualEncoderModel.from_vision_text_pretrained(
    "openai/clip-vit-base-patch32", "FacebookAI/roberta-base"
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("FacebookAI/roberta-base")
image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("openai/clip-vit-base-patch32")
processor = VisionTextDualEncoderProcessor(image_processor, tokenizer)

# save the model and processor
model.save_pretrained("clip-roberta")
processor.save_pretrained("clip-roberta")
```

This loads both the text and vision encoders using pre-trained weights, the projection layers are randomly
initialized except for CLIP's vision model. If you use CLIP to initialize the vision model then the vision projection weights are also
loaded using the pre-trained weights.

### Train the model
Finally, we can run the example script to train the model:

```bash
python examples/pytorch/contrastive-image-text/run_clip.py \
    --output_dir ./clip-roberta-finetuned \
    --model_name_or_path ./clip-roberta \
    --data_dir $PWD/data \
    --dataset_name ydshieh/coco_dataset_script \
    --dataset_config_name=2017 \
    --image_column image_path \
    --caption_column caption \
    --remove_unused_columns=False \
    --do_train  --do_eval \
    --per_device_train_batch_size="64" \
    --per_device_eval_batch_size="64" \
    --learning_rate="5e-5" --warmup_steps="0" --weight_decay 0.1 \
    --overwrite_output_dir \
    --push_to_hub
```
