> [!TIP]
> If you want to try the pre-trained ColPali on your own documents, you can use the [`vidore-benchmark`](https://github.com/illuin-tech/vidore-benchmark) repository. It comes with a Python package and a CLI tool for convenient evaluation. You can also use code provided in the model cards on the hub.
> For production usage in your RAG pipelines, we recommend using the [`byaldi`](https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/byaldi) package, which is a lightweight wrapper around the `colpali-engine` package developed by the author of the popular [RAGatouille](https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/RAGatouille) repostiory. 🐭

## Associated Paper

This repository contains the code used for training the vision retrievers in the [**ColPali: Efficient Document Retrieval with Vision Language Models**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.01449) paper.
In particular, it contains the code for training the ColPali model, which is a vision retriever based on the ColBERT architecture.
This repository contains the code used for training the vision retrievers in the [**ColPali: Efficient Document Retrieval with Vision Language Models**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.01449) paper. In particular, it contains the code for training the ColPali model, which is a vision retriever based on the ColBERT architecture.

## Setup

We used Python 3.11.6 and PyTorch 2.2.2 to train and test our models, but the codebase is expected to be compatible with Python >=3.9 and recent PyTorch versions.
We used Python 3.11.6 and PyTorch 2.2.2 to train and test our models, but the codebase is compatible with Python >=3.9 and recent PyTorch versions.

The eval codebase depends on a few Python packages, which can be downloaded using the following command:

```bash
pip install colpali-engine
```

To keep a lightweight repository, only the essential packages were installed. In particular, you must specify the dependencies to use the training script for ColPali. You can do this using the following command:

```bash
pip install "colpali-engine[train]"
```

> [!WARNING]
> For ColPali versions above v1.0, make sure to install the `colpali-engine` package from source or with a version above v0.2.0.

## Usage

The `scripts/` directory contains scripts to run training and inference.

### Inference

While there is an inference script in this repository, it's recommended to run inference using the [`vidore-benchmark`](https://github.com/illuin-tech/vidore-benchmark) package.
This repository doesn't contain the code to run optimized retrieval for RAG pipelines. For this, we recommend using [`byaldi`](https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/byaldi) - [RAGatouille](https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/RAGatouille)'s little sister 🐭 - which share a similar API and leverages our `colpali-engine` package.

### Benchmarking

To benchmark ColPali to reproduce the results on the [ViDoRe leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/vidore/vidore-leaderboard), it is recommended to use the [`vidore-benchmark`](https://github.com/illuin-tech/vidore-benchmark) package.

### Training

To keep a lightweight repository, only the essential packages were installed. In particular, you must specify the dependencies to use the training script for ColPali. You can do this using the following command:

```bash
pip install "colpali-engine[train]"
```

All the model configs used can be found in `scripts/configs/` and rely on the [configue](https://github.com/illuin-tech/configue) package for straightforward configuration. They should be used with the `train_colbert.py` script.
