CLIP ViT-L/14 多模态搜索：图文混合检索系统构建
引言：打破图文界限的搜索革命
你是否曾遇到过这样的困境？想要搜索一张"夕阳下海边散步的情侣"图片，却只能通过关键词"夕阳"、"海边"、"情侣"来大海捞针；或者看到一张精美的产品图片，却无法用文字准确描述它的特征。传统搜索引擎的文本-文本匹配模式在面对复杂的视觉内容时显得力不从心。
CLIP（Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training）模型的诞生彻底改变了这一局面。这个由OpenAI开发的多模态模型，通过对比学习（Contrastive Learning）将图像和文本映射到同一语义空间，实现了真正的图文互理解。本文将深入探讨如何基于CLIP ViT-L/14构建高效的图文混合检索系统。
CLIP技术架构解析
核心设计理念
CLIP采用双编码器架构，通过对比损失函数学习图像和文本的联合表示：
ViT-L/14模型规格
| 组件 | 配置参数 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|
| 图像编码器 | ViT-L/14 | 24层Transformer，1024隐藏维度 |
| 文本编码器 | Transformer | 12层，768隐藏维度 |
| 投影维度 | 768 | 统一的特征空间维度 |
| 图像尺寸 | 224×224 | 输入图像分辨率 |
| 文本长度 | 77 tokens | 最大文本序列长度 |
环境搭建与模型加载

texts = ["一只猫的照片", "一只狗的照片", "两个毛绒玩具"]
# 处理输入
inputs = processor(text=texts, images=image, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
# 模型推理

outputs = model(**inputs)
logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image
probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=1)
print("预测概率:", probs)
