ReT2-M2KR-ColBERT-CLIP-ViT-L

Model Card: ReT-2

Official implementation of ReT-2: Recurrence Meets Transformers for Universal Multimodal Retrieval.

This model features a visual backbone based on openai/clip-vit-large-patch14 and a textual backbone based on colbert-ir/colbertv2.0. <br>The backbones have been fine-tuned on the M2KR dataset.
