The ALIGN model was proposed in "Scaling Up Visual and Vision-Language Representation Learning With Noisy Text Supervision" by Chao Jia, Yinfei Yang, Ye Xia, Yi-Ting Chen, Zarana Parekh, Hieu Pham, Quoc V. Le, Yunhsuan Sung, Zhen Li, Tom Duerig. ALIGN features a dual-encoder architecture with EfficientNet as its vision encoder and BERT as its text encoder, and learns to align visual and text representations with contrastive learning. Unlike previous work, ALIGN leverages a massive noisy dataset and shows that the scale of the corpus can be used to achieve SOTA representations with a simple recipe. The code for ALIGN was not publicly released, the base model is converted from the original implementation of the Kakao Brain team. This implementation follows the same architecture and hyperparameters as provided in the original Google model but is trained on the open source COYO dataset. Google’s ALIGN model, while trained on a huge dataset of 1.8 billion image-text pairs, cannot be replicated as the datasets is not public. Kakao Brain's ALIGN is on-par or outperforms Google ALIGN's reported metrics despite being trained on the much smaller, albeit carefully curated COYO-700M dataset. COYO is available on the hub as a dataset.

Selection guide & FAQ

How should API prices be compared?+

Separate input, output and cache rates, then estimate the same workload. Image, audio and video rates may use items, duration or resolution rather than tokens.

Do open weights mean free commercial use?+

Not necessarily. Check each version’s license, commercial restrictions and policies. Self-hosting also incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Is the top-ranked model the best for me?+

Rankings depend on tasks, versions and methods. Compare accuracy, latency, reliability and costs on your own workload.
