# ALIGN

[ALIGN](https://huggingface.co/papers/2102.05918) is pretrained on a noisy 1.8 billion alt‑text and image pair dataset to show that scale can make up for the noise. It uses a dual‑encoder architecture, [EfficientNet](./efficientnet) for images and [BERT](./bert) for text, and a contrastive loss to align similar image–text embeddings together while pushing different embeddings apart. Once trained, ALIGN can encode any image and candidate captions into a shared vector space for zero‑shot retrieval or classification without requiring extra labels. This scale‑first approach reduces dataset curation costs and powers state‑of‑the‑art image–text retrieval and zero‑shot ImageNet classification.

You can find all the original ALIGN checkpoints under the [Kakao Brain](https://huggingface.co/kakaobrain?search_models=align) organization.

> Click on the ALIGN models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply ALIGN to different vision and text related tasks.

The example below demonstrates zero-shot image classification with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline) or the [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel) class.

  

```python
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="zero-shot-image-classification",
    model="kakaobrain/align-base",
    device=0,
)

candidate_labels = [
    "a photo of a dog",
    "a photo of a cat",
    "a photo of a person"
]

pipeline("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg", candidate_labels=candidate_labels)
```

```python
import requests
import torch
from PIL import Image

from transformers import AutoModelForZeroShotImageClassification, AutoProcessor

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("kakaobrain/align-base")
model = AutoModelForZeroShotImageClassification.from_pretrained("kakaobrain/align-base", device_map="auto")

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = requests.get(url, stream=True)
inputs = Image.open(image.raw).convert("RGB")

image_inputs = processor(images=inputs, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
    image_embeds = model.get_image_features(**image_inputs)

candidate_labels = ["a photo of a dog", "a photo of a cat", "a photo of a person"]
text_inputs = processor(text=candidate_labels, padding=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
    text_embeds = model.get_text_features(**text_inputs)

image_embeds = image_embeds / image_embeds.norm(p=2, dim=-1, keepdim=True)
text_embeds  = text_embeds  / text_embeds.norm(p=2, dim=-1, keepdim=True)

logits = (image_embeds @ text_embeds.T) * 100.0
probs  = logits.softmax(dim=-1).cpu().squeeze()

for label, score in zip(candidate_labels, probs):
    print(f"{label:20s} → {score.item():.4f}")
```

## Notes

- ALIGN projects the text and visual features into latent space and the dot product between the projected image and text features is used as the similarity score. The example below demonstrates how to calculate the image-text similarity score with [AlignProcessor](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/align#transformers.AlignProcessor) and [AlignModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/align#transformers.AlignModel).

  ```py
  # Example of using ALIGN for image-text similarity
  from transformers import AlignProcessor, AlignModel
  import torch
  from PIL import Image
  import requests
  from io import BytesIO
  
  # Load processor and model
  processor = AlignProcessor.from_pretrained("kakaobrain/align-base")
  model = AlignModel.from_pretrained("kakaobrain/align-base", device_map="auto")
  
  # Download image from URL
  url = "https://huggingface.co/roschmid/dog-races/resolve/main/images/Golden_Retriever.jpg"
  response = requests.get(url)
  image = Image.open(BytesIO(response.content))  # Convert the downloaded bytes to a PIL Image
  
  texts = ["a photo of a cat", "a photo of a dog"]
  
  # Process image and text inputs
  inputs = processor(images=image, text=texts, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
  
  # Get the embeddings
  with torch.no_grad():
      outputs = model(**inputs)
  
  image_embeds = outputs.image_embeds
  text_embeds = outputs.text_embeds
  
  # Normalize embeddings for cosine similarity
  image_embeds = image_embeds / image_embeds.norm(dim=1, keepdim=True)
  text_embeds = text_embeds / text_embeds.norm(dim=1, keepdim=True)
  
  # Calculate similarity scores
  similarity_scores = torch.matmul(text_embeds, image_embeds.T)
  
  # Print raw scores
  print("Similarity scores:", similarity_scores)
  
  # Convert to probabilities
  probs = torch.nn.functional.softmax(similarity_scores, dim=0)
  print("Probabilities:", probs)
  
  # Get the most similar text
  most_similar_idx = similarity_scores.argmax().item()
  print(f"Most similar text: '{texts[most_similar_idx]}'")

library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and

  The tensors corresponding to the input images. Pixel values can be obtained using
  [EfficientNetImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/efficientnet#transformers.EfficientNetImageProcessor). See `EfficientNetImageProcessor.__call__()` for details ([AlignProcessor](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/align#transformers.AlignProcessor) uses
  [EfficientNetImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/efficientnet#transformers.EfficientNetImageProcessor) for processing images).

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.
