The passage around this formula

with image embedding $u_i$ , text embedding $v_i$ , and a learned temperature $\tau$ . Radford and colleagues showed that this simple pre-training task, applied to 400 million image–text pairs collected from the internet, matched the accuracy of the original ResNet-50 on ImageNet zero-shot without using any of the 1.28 million training examples…
