# ColSmolVLM: Visual Retriever based on PaliGemma-3B with ColBERT strategy
ColSmolVLM is a model based on a novel model architecture and training strategy based on Vision Language Models (VLMs) to efficiently index documents from their visual features.
It is a SmolVLM extension that generates [ColBERT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.12832)- style multi-vector representations of text and images.
It was introduced in the paper [ColPali: Efficient Document Retrieval with Vision Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.01449) and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/ManuelFay/colpali)
This version is the untrained base version to guarantee deterministic projection layer initialization.
## Usage
> [!WARNING]
> This version should not be used: it is solely the base version useful for deterministic LoRA initialization.
