To this end, we analyze CLIP's ability to: (1) perform zero-shot learning on various texture and material classification datasets; (2) represent compositional properties of texture such as red dots or yellow stripes on the Describable Texture in Detail(DTDD) dataset; and (3) aid fine-grained categorization of birds in photographs described by color and texture of their body parts.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.11449v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.11449v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"leveraging-textures-in-zero-shot","repo_url":"https://github.com/chenyunwu/clip_texture","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"material-classification","task_name":"Material Classification"},{"task_slug":"zero-shot-learning","task_name":"Zero-Shot Learning"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"clip","method_name":"CLIP"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2203.11449","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
