Tip-Adapter: Better Image+Text Matching with no training
Meet Tip-Adapter, a simple trick that helps the popular CLIP model learn from just a few examples fast.
Instead of spending time and power to tune extra parts, Tip-Adapter builds a small memory of examples and uses that to guide decisions.
It means you get strong results for new tasks with few-shot data, and many times it matches or beats adapters that needed training.
The idea is neat: make adapter weights from example pairs, no backprop at all, so setup is quick and easy.
If you want even more accuracy, you can fine-tune that starter adapter for a couple of epochs, and it converges very fast.
Tests on ImageNet and other common datasets show steady improvements, and you don’t need big compute or long runs.
This feels like giving CLIP a smart shortcut — useful for people who want good visual-language performance without extra cost.
Try it if you want better results, with less fuss, and faster turn-around.
