+# GLIP: Grounded Language-Image Pre-training  
+
+<img src="docs/main_model.png" width="800"> 
+
+## Updates
+11/23/2021: Project page built. <br/>
+
+## Introduction
+This repository is the project page for [GLIP](https://arxiv.org/abs/xxxx), containing necessary instructions to reproduce the results presented in the paper.
+This paper presents a grounded language-image pre-training (GLIP) model for learning object-level, language-aware, and semantic-rich visual representations. GLIP unifies object detection and phrase grounding for pre-training.
+The unification brings two benefits: 1) it allows GLIP to learn from both detection and grounding data to improve both tasks and bootstrap a good grounding model; 2) GLIP can leverage massive image-text pairs by generating grounding boxes in a self-training fashion, making the learned representation semantic-rich.
+In our experiments, we pre-train GLIP on 27M grounding data, including 3M human-annotated and 24M web-crawled image-text pairs.
+The learned representations demonstrate strong zero-shot and few-shot transferability to various object-level recognition tasks.
+1) When directly evaluated on COCO and LVIS (without seeing any images in COCO during pre-training), GLIP achieves 49.8 AP and 26.9 AP, respectively, surpassing many supervised baselines.
+2) After fine-tuned on COCO, GLIP achieves 60.8 AP on val, and 61.0 AP on test-dev, matching SoTA.
+3) When transferred to 13 downstream object detection tasks,  a few-shot GLIP rivals with a fully-supervised Dynamic Head.
+
+Supervised baselines on COCO object detection: Faster-RCNN w/ ResNet50 (40.2) or ResNet101 (42.0) from [Detectron2](https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2/blob/main/MODEL_ZOO.md), and [DyHead](https://github.com/microsoft/DynamicHead) w/ Swin-Tiny (49.7).

+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in any Microsoft-owned repository that meets [Microsoft's definition of a security vulnerability](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/tn-archive/cc751383(v=technet.10)), please report it to us as described below.
+
+## Reporting Security Issues
+
+**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
+
+Instead, please report them to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) at [https://msrc.microsoft.com/create-report](https://msrc.microsoft.com/create-report).
+
+If you prefer to submit without logging in, send email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).  If possible, encrypt your message with our PGP key; please download it from the [Microsoft Security Response Center PGP Key page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/pgp-key-msrc).
+
+You should receive a response within 24 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow up via email to ensure we received your original message. Additional information can be found at [microsoft.com/msrc](https://www.microsoft.com/msrc). 
+
+Please include the requested information listed below (as much as you can provide) to help us better understand the nature and scope of the possible issue:
+
+  * Type of issue (e.g. buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
+  * Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
+  * The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
+  * Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
+  * Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
+  * Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
+  * Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit the issue
+
+This information will help us triage your report more quickly.
+
+If you are reporting for a bug bounty, more complete reports can contribute to a higher bounty award. Please visit our [Microsoft Bug Bounty Program](https://microsoft.com/msrc/bounty) page for more details about our active programs.
