Proper range for similarity

[zhaowenZhou]

I compute the cosine similarity between one image and multiple texts. The image is a picture of a vehicle and the texts are [vehicle, motor, Computer], the similarites are 0.25, 0.22, 0.19. Is this correct? I feel like the most matched pair should be close to 1 and the most unmatched one is close to 0 should be more intuitive... Here's my code ` from torchvision import transforms import PIL from PIL import Image import sys sys.path.append("./clip") import clip import torch from torch import nn

criterion = nn.CosineSimilarity(dim=1, eps=1e-6)

encode_img

T = transforms.Compose([ transforms.Resize((224,224),interpolation=Image.BICUBIC), transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize((0.48145466, 0.4578275, 0.40821073), (0.26862954, 0.26130258, 0.27577711)) ]) device = 'cuda:0' model, preprocess = clip.load('ViT-B/32', device, jit=False) img = Image.open("./imgs/2.png") im = T(img).unsqueeze(0).to(device) with torch.no_grad(): img_feat = model.encode_image(im).float()

encode_txt

def encoder_text(text): text_inputs = clip.tokenize(f"An image depicting a {text}").to(device) with torch.no_grad(): text_feature = model.encode_text(text_inputs).float()

text_feature /= text_feature.norm(dim=-1, keepdim=True)

return text_feature

txt_feat = encoder_text('Computer') similarity = criterion(img_feat, txt_feat) print(similarity) print(similarity.item()) `

This is the image fyi

I have same problem when I use CLIP for search
