Xray-Visual model scales vision tasks with 15B image-text pairs

Researchers have introduced Xray-Visual, a novel vision model architecture designed for large-scale image and video understanding. Trained on a massive dataset of over 15 billion image-text pairs and 10 billion video-hashtag pairs from Facebook and Instagram, the model employs advanced data curation techniques to ensure semantic diversity and minimize noise. Xray-Visual utilizes a three-stage training pipeline combining self-supervised, semi-supervised, and contrastive learning methods, built upon an efficient Vision Transformer backbone. The model demonstrates state-of-the-art performance across various benchmarks for image classification, video understanding, and cross-modal retrieval, also showing strong robustness and enhanced generalization when integrated with large language models.
