What's New in CLIP-fine-tune? 🎉

• All-in-one complete fine-tuning suite
• 'It basically fine-tunes itself' auto-mode 👶
• Just check all_in_one_clip_fine_tune.py for config & run!
• Super fast: Time slashed in half** (vs. my previous code)
• Includes NEW method: Regression-CLIP with Teachers
• Includes all my previous methods like KO-CLIP
• Read the NEW Regression-CLIP paper
• Read the (previous) KO-CLIP paper

Regression-CLIP in a nutshell: 🎯

• Enable for block 22, 23 (ViT-L/14) if:
• You have issues with CLIP misclassifying 'text in image'
• Well-known -> typographic attack vulnerability, e.g.:
• You have product photos with text labels on them
• You have comics with text in them, etc. ...

Models & Datasets: 🗂️

• Supports HuggingFace models and Long-CLIP 248 tokens
• Loads any .safetensors, OpenAI pickle, or HF Hub CLIP
• Dataset heuristics: Config-free mode to figure out any of:
• Sidecar labels, txt, .csv, .tsv, .json, .mat, parquet
• You provide a root directory, I'll figure out the rest!
• HuggingFace datasets: Will prompt if >1 text column found.

Code optimization, **speed: 👨🏻‍💻

• One-time process spawn (Windows) -> re-use for speed
• Efficient threading, persistent workers, prefetching
• Pretokenize -> Token table with IDs for fast reference
• See utils_train code & docstrings for all details
• Example (my): Windows, RTX 4090 -> was: ~1h -> is: 25 min / Epoch

Quality of Life: 📈

• .json config auto-save, loading from .json config
• Includes optimizer state saving & continuing
• Includes EMA-Model support (kept in RAM, not VRAM)
• Presets for optimizer groups (and a manual params+lr mode)
• Automated ZS + LP + Typo Attack mini-benchmarks (train -> val)
• Logs & plots: VRAM / Epoch, gradient norms, loss, margins, ...

Toolkit Suite: 🛟

• Rescue ('transplant') for single-Encoder collapsed embeddings
• Benchmark suite: typographic attack, zero-shot, retrieval
• Post-training logit_scale calibration
• Geometry analysis tools with heuristics:
• Report problematic geometry -> what & where for each Encoder
• E.g. rank of embeddings, sphericity, anisotropy, ...
• All scripts have docstrings with info / instructions at the top

Friendly config in all_in_one_clip_fine_tune.py:

Automatic dataset config of as above: Heuristics + ask user if multiple labels present:

Geometry analysis suite eval_measure_modality_gap_geometry.py; heuristics will inform about issues (e.g. 'did embeddings collapse?'):
