Pathology Language and Image Pre-Training (PLIP)

Pathology Language and Image Pre-Training (PLIP) is the first vision and language foundation model for Pathology AI. PLIP is a large-scale pre-trained model that can be used to extract visual and language features from pathology images and text description. The model is a fine-tuned version of the original CLIP model.

Internal API Usage

    from plip.plip import PLIP
    import numpy as np

    plip = PLIP('vinid/plip')

    # we create image embeddings and text embeddings
    image_embeddings = plip.encode_images(images, batch_size=32)
    text_embeddings = plip.encode_text(texts, batch_size=32)

    # we normalize the embeddings to unit norm (so that we can use dot product instead of cosine similarity to do comparisons)
    image_embeddings = image_embeddings/np.linalg.norm(image_embeddings, ord=2, axis=-1, keepdims=True)
    text_embeddings = text_embeddings/np.linalg.norm(text_embeddings, ord=2, axis=-1, keepdims=True)

HuggingFace API Usage

    from PIL import Image
    from transformers import CLIPProcessor, CLIPModel

    model = CLIPModel.from_pretrained("vinid/plip")
    processor = CLIPProcessor.from_pretrained("vinid/plip")

    image = Image.open("images/image1.jpg")

    inputs = processor(text=["a photo of label 1", "a photo of label 2"],
                       images=image, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

    outputs = model(**inputs)
    logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image  # this is the image-text similarity score
    probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=1)  
    print(probs)
    image.resize((224, 224))
