BLIP: Bootstrapping Better Vision-Language Models
BLIP is a pre-training framework that masters both image understanding and generation by creating its own training data. It uses a captioner and filter to generate clean image-text pairs from noisy web data.
BLIP is a vision-language pre-training framework that excels at both understanding (like VQA) and generation (like captioning). It bootstraps from noisy web data by using a captioner to generate synthetic captions and a filter to remove irrelevant pairs. This self-supervised data cleaning creates a more robust model. The footgun is viewing BLIP as a single model rather than a flexible framework for creating various fine-tuned vision-language models.
