  ## What LLM2CLIP Does
  LLM2CLIP introduces a novel approach where Large Language Models (LLMs) act as sophisticated textual teachers for CLIP's visual encoder. This enables the decomposition of complex or abstract text queries into simpler, atomic concepts, guiding CLIP to better understand nuanced and comprehensive multimodal information. Our framework significantly enhances CLIP-style visual representations, leading to substantial improvements in short- and long-text image retrieval, as well as multilingual text-image retrieval.
