better name...
"mmc" is fine, "multi-modal comparators" is awful. Maybe "zero-shot classifiers?" zsc is nice and memorable
keywords that are think are interesting here:
- multimodal
- encoder
- similarity
- comparator
- dot product
- clip
https://namelix.com/app/?keywords=multimodal+encoder+similarity+comparator+dot+product+clip
suggested there:
- multimix
- clipmix
- encodely
- metaencoder
- clippit
- clipabox
- mulclip
- cliptune
https://namelix.com/app/?keywords=multimodal+encoder+similarity+comparator+clip+perceptor
- triplevector
- symoder
- clipcomp
- simsight
- multioptics
- tricomp
my ideas:
- all-clip
- dual-encoder
- comparers
I kind of think dual-encoder might be good Maybe having clip in the name would be nice though, so mulclip maybe ?
Ok I'll leave that here, maybe that gives ideas
agreed that Multi-Modal-Comparators is a bit long
problem of mmc is it's not googleable, you can't find it in google Multi-Modal-Comparators is googleable
maybe multimodal-comparators ?
multimodal-comparators
yeah, it's an improvement
problem of mmc is it's not googleable
I guess... you'd think the same would be true for "timm" but they don't seem to have a problem there. maybe "python mmc" will pull this up if it ends up becoming more popular
one thing I like about "mmc" is the simplicity of pip install mmc. I worry that pip install multimodal-comparators might be a spelling challenge for many users, in particular those with limited english proficiency. gotta pick our battles I guess. maybe writing out two words isn't an unreasonable ask.
Maybe having clip in the name would be nice though, so mulclip maybe ?
the reason I didn't go this route to begin with is that I didn't want to constrain this library to just CLIP models. Maybe that was over-ambitious or a pre-mature optimization?
maybe we could do some sort of riff on "multimodality" in general? Maybe something to do with synaesthesia? (speaking of making it a spelling challenge..)
- synesthete
- synthesize
- crossmodal
- xmodal
- luria - reference to a book about a famous synesthete
- sachs - reference to physician who made first known medical report of synesthesia
- cytowic - reference to researcher who helped demonstrate that synesthesia is a physiological/neurological phenomenon rather than a purely psychological phenomenon.
- hubb - reference to ed hubbard, another synesthesia researcher, and evocative of "model hub"
...not a huge fan of any of these lol
