ERNIE-ViL 2.0: Multi-view Contrastive Learning for Image-Text Pre-training
Bin Shan, Weichong Yin, Yu Sun, Hao Tian, Hua Wu, Haifeng Wang
Recent Vision-Language Pre-trained (VLP) models based on dual encoder have attracted extensive attention from academia and industry due to their superior performance on various cross-modal tasks and high computational efficiency. They attempt to learn cross-modal representation using contrastive learning on image-text pairs, however, the built inter-modal correlations only rely on a single view for each modality. Actually, an image or a text contains various potential views, just as humans could capture a real-world scene via diverse descriptions or photos. In this paper, we propose ERNIE-ViL 2.0, a Multi-View Contrastive learning framework to build intra-modal and inter-modal correlations between diverse views simultaneously, aiming at learning a more robust cross-modal representation. Specifically, we construct multiple views within each modality to learn the intra-modal correlation for enhancing the single-modal representation. Besides the inherent visual/textual views, we construct sequences of object tags as a special textual view to narrow the cross-modal semantic gap on noisy image-text pairs. Pre-trained with 29M publicly available datasets, ERNIE-ViL 2.0 achieves competitive results on English cross-modal retrieval. Additionally, to generalize our method to Chinese cross-modal tasks, we train ERNIE-ViL 2.0 through scaling up the pre-training datasets to 1.5B Chinese image-text pairs, resulting in significant improvements compared to previous SOTA results on Chinese cross-modal retrieval. We release our pre-trained models in https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/ERNIE.
