CLIP Vision Encoder

The CLIP vision encoder, a component of the CLIP vision-language model, is a powerful tool for image understanding, enabling tasks like zero-shot image classification and semantic segmentation. Current research focuses on improving its robustness against adversarial attacks and enhancing its performance in open-vocabulary segmentation through techniques like Siamese adversarial fine-tuning, collaborative vision-text optimization, and the incorporation of multiple vision experts. These advancements are significant because they address limitations in existing models and pave the way for more reliable and versatile applications in various fields, including image generation, visual question answering, and multimodal large language models.
