Text-to-image (T2I) models, which transform written descriptions into visual images, are pushing boundaries in the field of computer vision. The principal challenge lies in the model's capability to accurately represent the fine-detail specified in the corresponding text, and despite generally high visual quality, there often exists a significant disparity between the intended description and the…
Contrastive learning has emerged as a powerful tool for training models in recent times. It is used to learn efficient visual representations by aligning image and text embeddings. However, a tricky aspect of contrastive learning is the extensive computation required for pairwise similarity between image and text pairs, particularly when working with large-scale datasets.
This issue…
