ChessCLIP

ChessCLIP is a CLIP model trained to align (board, action) representation with natural language and calculate the similarity in Chess game.

Model Details

• Language(s): English

# infer
with torch.no_grad():
    image_features = model.encode_image((image_input, action_input)).float()
    text_features = model.encode_text(text_tokens).float()
image_features /= image_features.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True) # n * dim
text_features /= text_features.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True)# m * dim
similarity = text_features.cpu().numpy() @ image_features.cpu().numpy().T # m * n
print(similarity)

Limitations

"ChessCLIP," like other CLIP-based models, has certain limitations that need to be taken into consideration. For instance, the model may produce incorrect similarities, especially when faced with complex, ambiguous, or language inputs that fall outside its training data.

We highly appreciate contributions from individuals and organizations to enhance the model's performance and stability. Specifically, we welcome annotated data, such as annotated PGN (Portable Game Notation), which can be utilized to train a more robust and reliable CLIP model.
