Model Summary

NLLB-CLIP is a model that combines a text encoder from the NLLB model and an image encoder from the standard CLIP. This allows us to extend the model capabilities to 201 languages of the Flores-200. NLLB-CLIP sets state-of-the-art on the Crossmodal-3600 dataset by performing very well on low-resource languages. You can find more details about the model in the paper.
