Abstract

There has been a recent surge of interest in cross-modal pre-training. However, existed approaches pre-train a one-stream model to learn joint vision-language representation, which suffers from calculation explosion when conducting cross-modal retrieval. In this work, we propose the Contrastive Cross-Modal Knowledge Sharing Pretraining (COOKIE) method to learn universal text-image representations. There are two key designs in it, one is the weight-sharing transformer on top of the visual and textual encoders to align text and image semantically, the other is three kinds of contrastive learning designed for sharing knowledge between different modalities. Cross-modal knowledge sharing greatly promotes the learning of unimodal representation. Experiments on multi-modal matching tasks including cross-modal retrieval, text matching, and image retrieval show the effectiveness and efficiency of our pre-training framework. Our COOKIE finetuned on cross-modal datasets MSCOCO, Flickr30K, and MSRVTT achieves new state-of-the-art results while using only 3/1000 inference time comparing to one-stream models. There are also 5.7% and 3.9% improvements in the task of image retrieval and text matching. Source code will be available at https://github.com/kywen1119/COOKIE.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Processing the visual input in convolution-free manner simplifies the pipeline, e.g., E2E-VLP and ViLT.

    “One simplifying is processing the visual input in convolution-free manner, e.g., E2E-VLP [271], ViLT [192].”

  • Recent remedies for fine-grained semantic alignment include random sampling, learning a concept dictionary, jointly learning a region detector, and representation aligning before mask prediction.

    “Several remedies introduced recently include random sampling [113], learning concept dictionary [203], jointly learning a region detector [271], and representation aligning before mask prediction [263].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
