• A fusion of CLIP Vision Transformer and BERT model where BERT embeddings are concatenated with visual embeddings at the very beginning and passed through BERT self-attention layers. This is based on the VisualBERT model.
• A pre-trained checkpooint on our multilingual with 67.85% validation accuracy.
