We introduce CommerceMM -a multimodal model capable of providing a diverse and granular understanding of commerce topics associated to the given piece of content (image, text, image+text), and having the capability to generalize to a wide range of tasks, including Multimodal Categorization, Image-Text Retrieval, Queryto-Product Retrieval, Image-to-Product Retrieval, etc. We follow the pre-training + fine-tuning training regime and present 5 effective pre-training tasks on image-text pairs. To embrace more common and diverse commerce data with text-to-multimodal, image-tomultimodal, and multimodal-to-multimodal mapping, we propose another 9 novel cross-modal and cross-pair retrieval tasks, called Omni-Retrieval pre-training. The pre-training is conducted in an efficient manner with only two forward/backward updates for the combined 14 tasks. Extensive experiments and analysis show the effectiveness of each task. When combining all pre-training tasks, our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on 7 commercerelated downstream tasks after fine-tuning. Additionally, we propose a novel approach of modality randomization to dynamically adjust our model under different efficiency constraints.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
