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)

6. Additional Information ¶
