SigLipLoss Documentation

1. Introduction

The SigLipLoss module is a component of the SigLIP (Sigmoid Loss for Language Image Pre-Training) framework, designed to facilitate efficient training of models for language-image pre-training tasks. SigLIP is particularly useful for scenarios where you need to pre-train a model to understand the relationship between text and images.

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to using the SigLipLoss module, including its purpose, parameters, and usage examples.

2. Overview

The SigLipLoss module is used to compute the loss for training models in the SigLIP framework. It calculates the contrastive loss between image and text features, which is a fundamental component of the SigLIP training process.

Key features and parameters of the SigLipLoss module include: - cache_labels: Whether to cache labels for faster computation. - rank: The rank of the current process when using multi-process training. - world_size: The number of processes in multi-process training. - bidir: Whether to use bidirectional communication during training. - use_horovod: Whether to use Horovod for distributed training.

The SigLIP framework is based on the Sigmoid Loss for Language Image Pre-Training research paper, which provides more detailed information about the approach. You can find the paper here.

3. Installation

Before using the SigLipLoss module, make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed. You can install the module using pip:

pip install sigliploss

4. Usage

In this section, we'll cover how to use the SigLipLoss module effectively.

4.1. Initializing SigLipLoss

To use the SigLipLoss module, you first need to initialize it. You can provide optional parameters like cache_labels, rank, world_size, bidir, and use_horovod during initialization.

from zeta.nn.modules import SigLipLoss

# Initialize SigLipLoss module
loss = SigLipLoss(
    cache_labels=False, rank=0, world_size=1, bidir=True, use_horovod=False
)

4.2. Calculating Loss

The primary purpose of the SigLipLoss module is to calculate the contrastive loss between image and text features. You'll need to provide image features, text features, logit_scale, and logit_bias to calculate the loss.

# Example data
image_features = torch.randn(10, 128)
text_features = torch.randn(10, 128)
logit_scale = 1.0
logit_bias = None

# Calculate loss
outputs = loss(image_features, text_features, logit_scale, logit_bias)
print(outputs)

4.3. Multi-process Communication

If you're using multi-process training, SigLipLoss provides options for communication between processes. The module can exchange text features between processes to facilitate training. Use the rank, world_size, bidir, and use_horovod parameters to configure this behavior.

5. Examples

Let's dive into some examples to demonstrate how to use the SigLipLoss module in practice.

5.1. Example 1: Initializing SigLipLoss

In this example, we'll initialize the SigLipLoss module with default parameters.

from zeta.nn.modules. import SigLipLoss

# Initialize SigLipLoss module
loss = SigLipLoss()

5.2. Example 2: Calculating Loss

Now, let's calculate the loss using sample image and text features.

import torch
from zeta.nn.modules. import SigLipLoss

# Initialize SigLipLoss module
loss = SigLipLoss()

# Example data
image_features = torch.randn(10, 128)
text_features = torch.randn(10, 128)
logit_scale = 1.0
logit_bias = None

# Calculate loss
outputs = loss(image_features, text_features, logit_scale, logit_bias)
print(outputs)

5.3. Example 3: Multi-process Communication

In a multi-process training scenario, you can configure SigLipLoss for communication between processes. Here's an example:

from zeta.nn.modules. import SigLipLoss

# Initialize SigLipLoss module with multi-process settings
loss = SigLipLoss(rank=0, world_size=4, bidir=True, use_horovod=False)
