What is BLIP?

BLIP (Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training) is a multimodal model developed by Salesforce AI. It excels at tasks involving both images and text, such as image captioning, visual question answering, and image-text retrieval. BLIP leverages a novel approach of bootstrapping language-image pre-training to learn robust representations from noisy web data. It is commonly used for generating descriptive captions for images, answering questions about the content of an image, and retrieving images based on textual queries.
