This is the official Pytorch implementation of UniCL:
"Unifiled Contrastive Learning in Image-Text-Label Space. CVPR 2022" by Jianwei Yang*, Chunyuan Li*, Pengchuan Zhang*, Bin Xiao*, Ce Liu, Lu Yuan and Jianfeng Gao.
In this paper, we introduce a new perspective on commonly used image-label and image-text data by residing them in an image-text-label space. In this space, a new learning paradigm, called Unified Contrastive Learning (UniCL) with a single learning objective is proposed to seamlessly prompt the synergy of two data types. We demonstrate that UniCL is an effective way of learning semantically rich yet discriminative representations, universally for image recognition in zero-shot, linear-probe, fully finetuning and transfer learning scenarios. When scaled up to billions of data, UniCL can exclusively learn a powerful visual-semantic representation supporting dozens of downstream tasks shown in Florence.
We make the comparisons between UniCL with coventional learning methods below:

- [11/24/2022] KLITE, the knowledge-augmented version of UniCL, is publicly released on Github.
- 💥 [10/05/2022] How do we use the pretrainied UniCL checkpoints? Beyond the zero-shot classification shown in our paper, we can use them for object detection. Now RegionCLIP supports to use pretrained UniCL transformer models, such as Swin, ViT for open-vocabulary object detection without any finetuning. Check it out!
- [08/19/2022] Organizing ECCV Workshop Computer Vision in the Wild (CVinW), where two challenges are hosted to evaluate the zero-shot, few-shot and full-shot performance of pre-trained vision models in downstream tasks:
- ``Image Classification in the Wild (ICinW)'' Challenge evaluates on 20 image classification tasks.
- ``Object Detection in the Wild (ODinW)'' Challenge evaluates on 35 object detection tasks.
- [06/19/2022] Released the evaluation benchmark used in UniCL, ELEVATER, which contains 20 downstream image classification tasks. More info: [Benchmark] [Toolkit] [Paper]
- [06/04/2022] Checkout out our Huggingface Gradio demo.
- [05/21/2022] Released pretrained model and zero-shot evaluation on ImageNet-1k.

Please following DATA.md for data preparation.
To evaluate a pre-trained UniCL on ImageNet val, run:
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node <num-of-gpus-to-use> --master_port 12345 main.py --eval \
--cfg <config-file> --resume <checkpoint> --data-path <imagenet-path> For example, to evaluate the UniCL-Swin-Tiny trained on YFCC-14M with a single GPU:
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 1 --master_port 12345 main.py --eval \
--cfg configs/unicl_swin_tiny.yaml --resume yfcc14m.pth --data-path <imagenet-path>Interested in evaluating UniCL for downstream image classification tasks, and comparing performance on the same task suite? We release ELEVATER benchmark, which has 20 downstream image classification tasks. The software toolkit is also released to ease the process to onboad new models. It will be hosted as a challenge at the CV in the Wild Workshop @ ECCV 2022. We hope our benchmark and toolkit can encourage the community to solve the challenge of image classification in the wild!
