Can we test without loading pre-trained weights?

Can I test without loading pre-trained weights, and how do I set the checkpoint_path?

You must have pre-trained weights to perform the test. You can set either an absolute or relative path, just by changing the checkpoint_path in test_zero_shot.sh.

Thank you for your very prompt reply. What I mean is, is it possible to train the model without loading weights from other pre-trained data (eg, Visa or MVTec datasets)? I would like to test it using the original CLIP weights.

As mentioned in WinCLIP, directly using the weights of CLIP does not yield good results (the first line of Table 8). Are you referring to this experiment?

Got it, thank you.
