UForm
Multi-Modal Inference Library
For Semantic Search Applications
UForm is a Multi-Modal Modal Inference package, designed to encode Multi-Lingual Texts, Images, and, soon, Audio, Video, and Documents, into a shared vector space!
This is model card of the Multilingual model (21 languages) with:
- 12 layers BERT (8 layers for unimodal encoding and rest layers for multimodal encoding)
- ViT-B/16 (image resolution is 224x224)
The model was trained on balanced multilingual dataset.
If you need English model, check this.
Evaluation
For all evaluations, the multimodal part was used unless otherwise stated.

Installation
pip install uform
Usage
To load the model:
import uform
model = uform.get_model('unum-cloud/uform-vl-multilingual-v2')
To encode data:
from PIL import Image
text = 'a small red panda in a zoo'
image = Image.open('red_panda.jpg')
image_data = model.preprocess_image(image)
text_data = model.preprocess_text(text)
image_embedding = model.encode_image(image_data)
text_embedding = model.encode_text(text_data)
joint_embedding = model.encode_multimodal(image=image_data, text=text_data)
To get features:
image_features, image_embedding = model.encode_image(image_data, return_features=True)
text_features, text_embedding = model.encode_text(text_data, return_features=True)
These features can later be used to produce joint multimodal encodings faster, as the first layers of the transformer can be skipped:
joint_embedding = model.encode_multimodal(
image_features=image_features,
text_features=text_features,
attention_mask=text_data['attention_mask']
)
There are two options to calculate semantic compatibility between an image and a text: Cosine Similarity and Matching Score.
Cosine Similarity
import torch.nn.functional as F
similarity = F.cosine_similarity(image_embedding, text_embedding)
The similarity
will belong to the [-1, 1]
range, 1
meaning the absolute match.
Pros:
- Computationally cheap.
- Only unimodal embeddings are required, unimodal encoding is faster than joint encoding.
- Suitable for retrieval in large collections.
Cons:
- Takes into account only coarse-grained features.
Matching Score
Unlike cosine similarity, unimodal embedding are not enough.
Joint embedding will be needed and the resulting score
will belong to the [0, 1]
range, 1
meaning the absolute match.
score = model.get_matching_scores(joint_embedding)
Pros:
- Joint embedding captures fine-grained features.
- Suitable for re-ranking – sorting retrieval result.
Cons:
- Resource-intensive.
- Not suitable for retrieval in large collections.
