构建大规模图文混合数据集RealSyn,提升视觉语言模型表征能力。
RealSyn: An Effective and Scalable Multimodal Interleaved Document Transformation Paradigm
- 通过提取真实图文并生成语义增强的合成文本,构建多模态数据集。
- 在1500万至1亿样本规模下,模型性能超越现有主流基准。
- 适合研究视觉语言预训练、数据增强与长尾概念学习的学者使用。
在大量图像-文本对上预训练后,对比语言-图像预训练(CLIP)在多种任务上表现出色。然而,大量未配对的多模态交错文档仍被忽视。为此,我们首先建立真实世界数据提取流程,获取高质量图像与文本;设计分层检索方法,将每张图像关联多个语义相关的真实文本;提出图像语义增强生成模块,用于合成更精细的文本;采用语义平衡采样策略提升数据多样性,促进长尾概念学习。基于上述创新,我们构建了包含真实与合成文本的RealSyn数据集,提供1500万、3000万和1亿三个规模版本。在等规模下与主流数据集对比,基于RealSyn预训练的模型在线性探测、零样本迁移、零样本鲁棒性和零样本检索等下游任务中持续达到顶尖表现。实验验证RealSyn显著提升视觉语言表示学习能力并具备良好可扩展性。为促进后续研究,数据集与预训练权重已开源:https://github.com/deepglint/RealSyn。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
After pre-training on extensive image-text pairs, Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) demonstrates promising performance on a wide variety of benchmarks. However, a substantial volume of multimodal interleaved documents remains underutilized for contrastive vision-language representation learning. To fully leverage these unpaired documents, we initially establish a Real-World Data Extraction pipeline to extract high-quality images and texts. Then we design a hierarchical retrieval method to efficiently associate each image with multiple semantically relevant realistic texts. To further enhance fine-grained visual information, we propose an image semantic augmented generation module for synthetic text production. Furthermore, we employ a semantic balance sampling strategy to improve dataset diversity, enabling better learning of long-tail concepts. Based on these innovations, we construct RealSyn, a dataset combining realistic and synthetic texts, available in three scales: 15M, 30M, and 100M. We compare our dataset with other widely used datasets of equivalent scale for CLIP training. Models pre-trained on RealSyn consistently achieve state-of-the-art performance across various downstream tasks, including linear probe, zero-shot transfer, zero-shot robustness, and zero-shot retrieval. Furthermore, extensive experiments confirm that RealSyn significantly enhances contrastive vision-language representation learning and demonstrates robust scalability. To facilitate future research, the RealSyn dataset and pretrained model weights are released at https://github.com/deepglint/RealSyn.
