The text embedding set trained by Jina AI.
## Quick Start The easiest way to starting using `jina-clip-v1` is to use Jina AI's [Embedding API](https://jina.ai/embeddings/). ## Intended Usage & Model Info `jina-clip-v1` is an English, monolingual **multimodal (text-image) embedding model**. Traditional text embedding models, such as [jina-embeddings-v2-base-en](https://huggingface.co/jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-base-en), excel in text-to-text retrieval but lack cross-modal retrieval capabilities. Conversely, CLIP-like models, such as [openai/clip-vit-base-patch32](https://huggingface.co/openai/clip-vit-base-patch32), align image embeddings with text embeddings but underperform in text-to-text retrieval due to their training methodology and context length limitations. `jina-clip-v1` is an innovative **multimodal embedding model**. Its text component achieves comparable performance to `jina-embeddings-v2-base-en` in text-to-text retrieval, while the overall model delivers state-of-the-art performance in cross-modal retrieval tasks. This makes it an ideal choice for multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (M-RAG) applications, allowing for both text-to-text and text-to-image searches with a single model. ## Data & Parameters Jina CLIP V1 [technical report]() coming soon. ## Usage You can use Jina CLIP directly from transformers package. ```python !pip install transformers from transformers import AutoModel from numpy.linalg import norm cos_sim = lambda a,b: (a @ b.T) / (norm(a)*norm(b)) model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('jinaai/jina-clip-v1') text_embeddings = model.encode_text(['How is the weather today?', 'What is the current weather like today?']) image_embeddings = model.encode_image(['raindrop.png']) print(cos_sim(text_embeddings[0], text_embeddings[1])) # text embedding similarity print(cos_sim(text_embeddings[0], image_embeddings[0])) # text-image cross-modal similarity ``` ## Performance ### Text-Image Retrieval | Name | Flickr Image Retr.
