## Try it!

An always-online server `api.clip.jina.ai` loaded with `ViT-L-14-336::openai` is there for you to play & test.
Before you start, make sure you have obtained a personal access token from the [Jina AI Cloud](https://cloud.jina.ai/settings/tokens), 
or via CLI as described in [this guide](https://docs.jina.ai/jina-ai-cloud/login/#create-a-new-pat):

```bash 
jina auth token create <name of PAT> -e <expiration days>
```

Then, you need to configure the access token in the parameter `credential` of the client in python or set it in the HTTP request header `Authorization` as `<your access token>`.

⚠️ Our demo server `demo-cas.jina.ai` is sunset and no longer available after **15th of Sept 2022**.

</td>
</tr>
</table>


You can change `0.0.0.0` to the intranet or public IP address to test the connectivity over private and public network. 


## Get Started

### Basic usage

1. Start the server: `python -m clip_server`. Remember its address and port.
2. Create a client:
   ```python
    from clip_client import Client
   
    c = Client('grpc://0.0.0.0:51000')
    ```
3. To get sentence embedding:
    ```python    
    r = c.encode(['First do it', 'then do it right', 'then do it better'])
    
    print(r.shape)  # [3, 512] 
    ```
4. To get image embedding:
    ```python    
    r = c.encode(['apple.png',  # local image 
                  'https://clip-as-service.jina.ai/_static/favicon.png',  # remote image
                  'data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhEAAQAMQAAORHHOVSKudfOulrSOp3WOyDZu6QdvCchPGolfO0o/XBs/fNwfjZ0frl3/zy7////wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH5BAkAABAALAAAAAAQABAAAAVVICSOZGlCQAosJ6mu7fiyZeKqNKToQGDsM8hBADgUXoGAiqhSvp5QAnQKGIgUhwFUYLCVDFCrKUE1lBavAViFIDlTImbKC5Gm2hB0SlBCBMQiB0UjIQA7'])  # in image URI
    
    print(r.shape)  # [3, 512]
    ```

More comprehensive server and client user guides can be found in the [docs](https://clip-as-service.jina.ai/).

### Text-to-image cross-modal search in 10 lines

Let's build a text-to-image search using CLIP-as-service. Namely, a user can input a sentence and the program returns matching images. We'll use the [Totally Looks Like](https://sites.google.com/view/totally-looks-like-dataset) dataset and [DocArray](https://github.com/jina-ai/docarray) package. Note that DocArray is included within `clip-client` as an upstream dependency, so you don't need to install it separately.

#### Load images

First we load images. You can simply pull them from Jina Cloud:

```python
from docarray import DocumentArray

da = DocumentArray.pull('ttl-original', show_progress=True, local_cache=True)
```

<details>
<summary>or download TTL dataset, unzip, load manually</summary>

Alternatively, you can go to [Totally Looks Like](https://sites.google.com/view/totally-looks-like-dataset) official website, unzip and load images:

```python
from docarray import DocumentArray

da = DocumentArray.from_files(['left/*.jpg', 'right/*.jpg'])
```

</details>

The dataset contains 12,032 images, so it may take a while to pull. Once done, you can visualize it and get the first taste of those images:

```python
da.plot_image_sprites()
```

<p align="center">
<img src="https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/ttl-image-sprites.png?raw=true" alt="Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset" width="50%">
</p>

#### Encode images

Start the server with `python -m clip_server`. Let's say it's at `0.0.0.0:51000` with `GRPC` protocol (you will get this information after running the server).

Create a Python client script:

```python
from clip_client import Client

c = Client(server='grpc://0.0.0.0:51000')

da = c.encode(da, show_progress=True)
```

Depending on your GPU and client-server network, it may take a while to embed 12K images. In my case, it took about two minutes.

<details>
<summary>Download the pre-encoded dataset</summary>

If you're impatient or don't have a GPU, waiting can be Hell. In this case, you can simply pull our pre-encoded image dataset:

```python
from docarray import DocumentArray

da = DocumentArray.pull('ttl-embedding', show_progress=True, local_cache=True)
```

</details>

#### Search via sentence 

Let's build a simple prompt to allow a user to type sentence:

```python
while True:
    vec = c.encode([input('sentence> ')])
    r = da.find(query=vec, limit=9)
    r[0].plot_image_sprites()
```

#### Showcase

Now you can input arbitrary English sentences and view the top-9 matching images. Search is fast and instinctive. Let's have some fun:

<table>
<tr>
<th> "a happy potato" </th> 
<th> "a super evil AI" </th> 
<th> "a guy enjoying his burger" </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<p align="center">
<img src="https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/a-happy-potato.png?raw=true" alt="Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset" width="100%">

</p>

</td>
</tr>
</table>


<table>
<tr>
<th> "professor cat is very serious" </th> 
<th> "an ego engineer lives with parent" </th> 
<th> "there will be no tomorrow so lets eat unhealthy" </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<p align="center">
<img src="https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/professor-cat-is-very-serious.png?raw=true" alt="Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset" width="100%">
</p>

</p>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

Let's save the embedding result for our next example: 

```python
da.save_binary('ttl-image')
```

### Image-to-text cross-modal search in 10 Lines

We can also switch the input and output of the last program to achieve image-to-text search. Precisely, given a query image find the sentence that best describes the image.

Let's use all sentences from the book "Pride and Prejudice". 

```python
from docarray import Document, DocumentArray

d = Document(uri='https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1342/1342-0.txt').load_uri_to_text()
da = DocumentArray(
    Document(text=s.strip()) for s in d.text.replace('\r\n', '').split('.') if s.strip()
)
```

Let's look at what we got:

```python
da.summary()
```

```text
            Documents Summary            
                                         
  Length                 6403            
  Homogenous Documents   True            
  Common Attributes      ('id', 'text')  
                                         
                     Attributes Summary                     
                                                            
  Attribute   Data type   #Unique values   Has empty value  
 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 
  id          ('str',)    6403             False            
  text        ('str',)    6030             False            
```

#### Encode sentences

Now encode these 6,403 sentences, it may take 10 seconds or less depending on your GPU and network: 

```python
from clip_client import Client

c = Client('grpc://0.0.0.0:51000')

r = c.encode(da, show_progress=True)
```

<details>
<summary>Download the pre-encoded dataset</summary>

Again, for people who are impatient or don't have a GPU, we have prepared a pre-encoded text dataset:

```python
from docarray import DocumentArray

da = DocumentArray.pull('ttl-textual', show_progress=True, local_cache=True)
```

</details>

#### Search via image

Let's load our previously stored image embedding, randomly sample 10 image Documents, then find top-1 nearest neighbour of each.

```python
from docarray import DocumentArray

img_da = DocumentArray.load_binary('ttl-image')

for d in img_da.sample(10):
    print(da.find(d.embedding, limit=1)[0].text)
```

#### Showcase

Fun time! Note, unlike the previous example, here the input is an image and the sentence is the output. All sentences come from the book "Pride and Prejudice".

### Rank image-text matches via CLIP model

From `0.3.0` CLIP-as-service adds a new `/rank` endpoint that re-ranks cross-modal matches according to their joint likelihood in CLIP model. For example, given an image Document with some predefined sentence matches as below:

```python
from clip_client import Client
from docarray import Document

c = Client(server='grpc://0.0.0.0:51000')
r = c.rank(
    [
        Document(
            uri='.github/README-img/rerank.png',
            matches=[
                Document(text=f'a photo of a {p}')
                for p in (
                    'control room',
                    'lecture room',
                    'conference room',
                    'podium indoor',
                    'television studio',
                )
            ],
        )
    ]
)

print(r['@m', ['text', 'scores__clip_score__value']])
```

```text
[['a photo of a television studio', 'a photo of a conference room', 'a photo of a lecture room', 'a photo of a control room', 'a photo of a podium indoor'], 
[0.9920725226402283, 0.006038925610482693, 0.0009973491542041302, 0.00078492151806131, 0.00010626466246321797]]
```

One can see now `a photo of a television studio` is ranked to the top with `clip_score` score at `0.992`. In practice, one can use this endpoint to re-rank the matching result from another search system, for improving the cross-modal search quality.

### Rank text-image matches via CLIP model

In the [DALLΒ·E Flow](https://github.com/jina-ai/dalle-flow) project, CLIP is called for ranking the generated results from DALLΒ·E. [It has an Executor wrapped on top of `clip-client`](https://github.com/jina-ai/dalle-flow/blob/main/executors/rerank/executor.py), which calls `.arank()` - the async version of `.rank()`:

```python
from clip_client import Client
from jina import Executor, requests, DocumentArray


class ReRank(Executor):
    def __init__(self, clip_server: str, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self._client = Client(server=clip_server)

    @requests(on='/')
    async def rerank(self, docs: DocumentArray, **kwargs):
        return await self._client.arank(docs)
```

Namely, a user can input a sentence and the program returns matching images. We'll use the [Totally Looks Like](https://sites.google.com/view/totally-looks-like-dataset) dataset and [DocArray](https://github.com/jina-ai/docarray) package. Note that DocArray is included within `clip-client` as an upstream dependency, so you don't need to install it separately.\n\n#### Load images\n\nFirst we load images. You can simply pull them from Jina Cloud:\n\n```python\nfrom docarray import DocumentArray\n\nda = DocumentArray.pull('ttl-original', show_progress=True, local_cache=True)\n```\n\n<details>\n<summary>or download TTL dataset, unzip, load manually</summary>\n\nAlternatively, you can go to [Totally Looks Like](https://sites.google.com/view/totally-looks-like-dataset) official website, unzip and load images:\n\n```python\nfrom docarray import DocumentArray\n\nda = DocumentArray.from_files(['left/*.jpg', 'right/*.jpg'])\n```\n\n</details>\n\nThe dataset contains 12,032 images, so it may take a while to pull. Once done, you can visualize it and get the first taste of those images:\n\n```python\nda.plot_image_sprites()\n```\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/ttl-image-sprites.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" width=\"50%\">\n</p>\n\n#### Encode images\n\nStart the server with `python -m clip_server`. Let's say it's at `0.0.0.0:51000` with `GRPC` protocol (you will get this information after running the server).\n\nCreate a Python client script:\n\n```python\nfrom clip_client import Client\n\nc = Client(server='grpc://0.0.0.0:51000')\n\nda = c.encode(da, show_progress=True)\n```\n\nDepending on your GPU and client-server network, it may take a while to embed 12K images. In my case, it took about two minutes.\n\n<details>\n<summary>Download the pre-encoded dataset</summary>\n\nIf you're impatient or don't have a GPU, waiting can be Hell. In this case, you can simply pull our pre-encoded image dataset:\n\n```python\nfrom docarray import DocumentArray\n\nda = DocumentArray.pull('ttl-embedding', show_progress=True, local_cache=True)\n```\n\n</details>\n\n#### Search via sentence \n\nLet's build a simple prompt to allow a user to type sentence:\n\n```python\nwhile True:\n    vec = c.encode([input('sentence> ')])\n    r = da.find(query=vec, limit=9)\n    r[0].plot_image_sprites()\n```\n\n#### Showcase\n\nNow you can input arbitrary English sentences and view the top-9 matching images. Search is fast and instinctive. Let's have some fun:\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th> \"a happy potato\" </th> \n<th> \"a super evil AI\" </th> \n<th> \"a guy enjoying his burger\" </th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/a-happy-potato.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" width=\"100%\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/a-super-evil-AI.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" width=\"100%\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/a-guy-enjoying-his-burger.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" width=\"100%\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th> \"professor cat is very serious\" </th> \n<th> \"an ego engineer lives with parent\" </th> \n<th> \"there will be no tomorrow so lets eat unhealthy\" </th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/professor-cat-is-very-serious.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" width=\"100%\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/an-ego-engineer-lives-with-parent.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" width=\"100%\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/there-will-be-no-tomorrow-so-lets-eat-unhealthy.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" width=\"100%\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n\nLet's save the embedding result for our next example: \n\n```python\nda.save_binary('ttl-image')\n```\n\n### Image-to-text cross-modal search in 10 Lines\n\nWe can also switch the input and output of the last program to achieve image-to-text search. Precisely, given a query image find the sentence that best describes the image.\n\nLet's use all sentences from the book \"Pride and Prejudice\". \n\n```python\nfrom docarray import Document, DocumentArray\n\nd = Document(uri='https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1342/1342-0.txt').load_uri_to_text()\nda = DocumentArray(\n    Document(text=s.strip()) for s in d.text.replace('\\r\\n', '').split('.') if s.strip()\n)\n```\n\nLet's look at what we got:\n\n```python\nda.summary()\n```\n\n```text\n            Documents Summary            \n                                         \n  Length                 6403            \n  Homogenous Documents   True            \n  Common Attributes      ('id', 'text')  \n                                         \n                     Attributes Summary                     \n                                                            \n  Attribute   Data type   #Unique values   Has empty value  \n \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500 \n  id          ('str',)    6403             False            \n  text        ('str',)    6030             False            \n```\n\n#### Encode sentences\n\nNow encode these 6,403 sentences, it may take 10 seconds or less depending on your GPU and network: \n\n```python\nfrom clip_client import Client\n\nc = Client('grpc://0.0.0.0:51000')\n\nr = c.encode(da, show_progress=True)\n```\n\n<details>\n<summary>Download the pre-encoded dataset</summary>\n\nAgain, for people who are impatient or don't have a GPU, we have prepared a pre-encoded text dataset:\n\n```python\nfrom docarray import DocumentArray\n\nda = DocumentArray.pull('ttl-textual', show_progress=True, local_cache=True)\n```\n\n</details>\n\n#### Search via image\n\nLet's load our previously stored image embedding, randomly sample 10 image Documents, then find top-1 nearest neighbour of each.\n\n```python\nfrom docarray import DocumentArray\n\nimg_da = DocumentArray.load_binary('ttl-image')\n\nfor d in img_da.sample(10):\n    print(da.find(d.embedding, limit=1)[0].text)\n```\n\n#### Showcase\n\nFun time! Note, unlike the previous example, here the input is an image and the sentence is the output. All sentences come from the book \"Pride and Prejudice\". \n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/Besides,-there-was-truth-in-his-looks.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/Gardiner-smiled.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/what\u2019s-his-name.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/By-tea-time,-however,-the-dose-had-been-enough,-and-Mr.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/You-do-not-look-well.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Besides, there was truth in his looks</td>\n<td>Gardiner smiled</td>\n<td>what\u2019s his name</td>\n<td>By tea time, however, the dose had been enough, and Mr</td>\n<td>You do not look well</td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/\u201cA-gamester!\u201d-she-cried.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/If-you-mention-my-name-at-the-Bell,-you-will-be-attended-to.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/Never-mind-Miss-Lizzy\u2019s-hair.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/Elizabeth-will-soon-be-the-wife-of-Mr.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n\n<td>\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/I-saw-them-the-night-before-last.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Visualization of the image sprite of Totally looks like dataset\" height=\"100px\">\n</p>\n\n</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u201cA gamester!\u201d she cried</td>\n<td>If you mention my name at the Bell, you will be attended to</td>\n<td>Never mind Miss Lizzy\u2019s hair</td>\n<td>Elizabeth will soon be the wife of Mr</td>\n<td>I saw them the night before last</td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n\n\n\n### Rank image-text matches via CLIP model\n\nFrom `0.3.0` CLIP-as-service adds a new `/rank` endpoint that re-ranks cross-modal matches according to their joint likelihood in CLIP model. For example, given an image Document with some predefined sentence matches as below:\n\n```python\nfrom clip_client import Client\nfrom docarray import Document\n\nc = Client(server='grpc://0.0.0.0:51000')\nr = c.rank(\n    [\n        Document(\n            uri='.github/README-img/rerank.png',\n            matches=[\n                Document(text=f'a photo of a {p}')\n                for p in (\n                    'control room',\n                    'lecture room',\n                    'conference room',\n                    'podium indoor',\n                    'television studio',\n                )\n            ],\n        )\n    ]\n)\n\nprint(r['@m', ['text', 'scores__clip_score__value']])\n```\n\n```text\n[['a photo of a television studio', 'a photo of a conference room', 'a photo of a lecture room', 'a photo of a control room', 'a photo of a podium indoor'], \n[0.9920725226402283, 0.006038925610482693, 0.0009973491542041302, 0.00078492151806131, 0.00010626466246321797]]\n```\n\nOne can see now `a photo of a television studio` is ranked to the top with `clip_score` score at `0.992`. In practice, one can use this endpoint to re-rank the matching result from another search system, for improving the cross-modal search quality.\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/rerank.png?raw=true\" alt=\"Rerank endpoint image input\" height=\"150px\">\n</td>\n<td>\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/rerank-chart.svg?raw=true\" alt=\"Rerank endpoint output\">\n</td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n\n### Rank text-image matches via CLIP model\n\nIn the [DALL\u00b7E Flow](https://github.com/jina-ai/dalle-flow) project, CLIP is called for ranking the generated results from DALL\u00b7E. [It has an Executor wrapped on top of `clip-client`](https://github.com/jina-ai/dalle-flow/blob/main/executors/rerank/executor.py), which calls `.arank()` - the async version of `.rank()`:\n\n```python\nfrom clip_client import Client\nfrom jina import Executor, requests, DocumentArray\n\n\nclass ReRank(Executor):\n    def __init__(self, clip_server: str, **kwargs):\n        super().__init__(**kwargs)\n        self._client = Client(server=clip_server)\n\n    @requests(on='/')\n    async def rerank(self, docs: DocumentArray, **kwargs):\n        return await self._client.arank(docs)\n```\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"https://github.com/jina-ai/clip-as-service/blob/main/.github/README-img/client-dalle.png?raw=true\" alt=\"CLIP-as-service used in DALLE Flow\" width=\"300px\">\n</p>\n\nIntrigued?
