Mitsua Japanese CLIP ViT-B-16

明示的な許諾を得たオプトインデータ、オープンライセンスデータ、パブリックドメインデータのみでトレーニングされた日本語/英語バイリンガルCLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training)モデルです。 学習データにAI生成物は含まれません。

私たちの目標は、事前学習済みモデルの知識を一切使用せずに、CLIPモデルを完全にゼロからトレーニングすることでした。 したがって、PD12Mなどの「倫理的な」データセットに一般的に採用されている合成キャプションや美的スコアリングは使用しませんでした。 また、LAIONデータセット等の作成に採用されているOpenAI CLIPスコアフィルタリングも行いませんでした。 これらのモデルを使用した前処理は、著作物の知識のリークを引き起こすためです。

This is a Japanese/English bilingual CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) model trained exclusively on opt-in licensed data, openly licensed data and public domain data. We believe training data does not contain AI generated data.

Our goal was to train a CLIP model completely from scratch, without using any pretrained models' knowledge. Thus, we did not use any synthetic captions (AI generated captions) nor any aethestic scoring which is commonly adopted for "ethically sourced" open dataset such as PD12M. Also, we did not do any OpenAI CLIP score filtering which is adopted for creating LAION dataset or similar. This is because these preprocessing will result in knowledge leakage of copyrighted works.

Usage

1. Install the python packages

pip install transformers sentencepiece

• This model is verified on transformers==4.40.2

2. Run

from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModel
import io
import requests
import torch

device = "cuda"
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("Mitsua/mitsua-japanese-clip-vit-b-16", trust_remote_code=True).to(device)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Mitsua/mitsua-japanese-clip-vit-b-16", trust_remote_code=True)

# get CC0 licensed image from Wikimedia Commons
image_url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Boxer_%28dog%29_%2C_Iran_08.jpg/800px-Boxer_%28dog%29_%2C_Iran_08.jpg"
image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(requests.get(image_url).content))

# we can input either Japanese or English
texts = ["犬", "猫", "人間"]
# texts = ["dog", "cat", "human"]

inputs = processor(text=texts, images=image, padding="max_length", return_tensors="pt")
inputs = {k:v.to(device) for k,v in inputs.items()}

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image
probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=-1)
for t, p in zip(texts, probs[0]):
    print(f"'{t}' : {p:.1%}")

Output should look like

'犬' : 95.5%
'猫' : 0.2%
'人間' : 4.3%

'dog' : 99.4%
'cat' : 0.1%
'human' : 0.5%

Training Data

Our dataset is a mix of opt-in licensed data, openly licensed data and public domain data. Pre-filtering based on metadata and captions are applied to exclude potential rights-infringing, harmful or NSFW data. For pre-filtering data, we built 146,041 words database which contains artist names, celebrity names, fictional character names, trademarks and bad words, based on Wikidata licensed under CC0. We pre-process with face-blurring.

  • How we curate this dataset
    • Problem statement :
    • Our goal to build this dataset is to achieve both quality and copyright/privacy safety.
    • 1. Creating rights-cleared and safe-to-use dataset from an uncurated and noisy data source.
      2. Creating diversified and balanced dataset from an uncurated and noisy data source.
    • Dataset curation :
    • 1. We used category tags to limit the data to safe use, and then conducted word based filtering.
      • For public domain data, we used following categories only: CC-PD-Mark, PD-self, PD-user, PD-author, PD-link, PD-old-70, PD-old-80, PD-old-90, PD-old-100
      • Images with these tags are removed even if they are tagged as public domain: Images with watermarks, PD-algorithm, ~AI-generated works, With trademark, Unidentified logos, License review needed, Deletion requests, Flickr images~, Personality rights warining, Cosplay, Media from YouTube (XXXX=Year)
      • This means we solely use public domain data whose copyright is expired globally (US, EU and Japan) or waived directly by authors, without using AI generated contents.
      • To address copyright laundering concerns, we also do not use any data sourced from Flickr. See: Flickr Washing
      • After category tag based filtering, we conducted word based filtering described above for mitigating possible rights infringing or harmful data.
    • 2. We also improved the quality of our dataset by doing the following without using a pretrained model
      • Image deduplication is conducted by using simple imagehash algorithm.
      • To build diversified dataset with limited datasources, we use WordNet, and word count based balancing method introduced in the original CLIP paper and the research paper by Hu Xu et al, "Demystifying CLIP Data"
        • Princeton University "About WordNet." WordNet. Princeton University. 2010.
      • To improve caption accuracy, we performed a Commons API query on the words in WordNet and sorted them by relevance to add additional captions by query words.
      • Also we conducted machine translation of captions between Japanese and English using our ElanMT model which is trained exclusively on openly licensed corpus.
• Art Museums PD Dataset (CC0, We curated this dataset and will release soon.)
  • Images and metadata collected from these museums open access. All images and metadata are shared under CC0 or Public Domain.
  • We created image caption only from these metadata.
  • Smithsonian Open Access (CC0)
    • Image Attribution found here.
  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art Open Access (CC0)
    • Image Attribution found here.
  • The Cleveland Museum of Art Open Access (CC0)
    • Image Attribution found here.
  • The Art Institute of Chicago Open Access (CC0)
    • Image Attribution found here.
  • Curated by ELAN MITSUA Project / Abstract Engine.

• Even if the dataset itself is CC-licensed, we did not use it if the image contained in the dataset is not properly licensed, is based on unauthorized use of copyrighted works, or is based on the synthetic data output of other pretrained models.
• English captions are translated into Japanese using ElanMT model which is trained solely on openly licensed corpus.
• For additional tagging, Mitsua Japanese Tagger model which is trained solely on opt-in / openly licensed data is used.

Training Procedure

As mentioned above, this model does not use any pretrained model and is trained completely from scratch.

1. Pretrain Image Encoder (Vision Transformer)

• ViT-B-16 Vision Transformer model was pre-trained on Color Multi Fractal DB 1k (1 million images, 1k classes) at resolution 224x224 for 300 epochs.
• This model is trained exclusively on 1 million fractal images which relies solely on mathematical formulas, so no real images or pretrained models are used for this training.

2. Train sentencepiece text tokenizer

• Sentencepiece tokenizer was trained on licensed corpus with 64k vocabularies
• The training corpus was extracted from the image-text training dataset listed above.

3. Train CLIP model

• Then, CLIP model is trained on licensed + openly-licensed + public domain dataset.
• Image Encoder : ViT-B-16 initialized with fractal pretrained weight in 1
• Text Encoder : 12 layer masked text transformer with 64k sentencepiece tokenizer
• Training dataset consists of approx. 30M images, which is relatively small for CLIP training
• Training took approx. 400 H100 GPU hours for 64 epochs.

Evaluation

• TBD
