Abstract
Techniques to fine-tune a joint text-image encoder via model reprogramming. The joint text-image encoder includes an image encoder and a text encoder, which are trained. An image and a caption describing the image are received. A reprogrammed image is generated based on the received image and using a first function. A reprogrammed caption is generated based on the received caption and using a second function. The image encoder and the text encoder are further trained using the reprogrammed image and the reprogrammed caption. One or more parameters for each of the first and second functions are backpropagated to produce, via transfer learning, the fine-tuned joint text-image encoder.
