Large-scale pre-trained vision-language models (e.g., CLIP) have shown powerful zero-shot transfer capabilities in image recognition tasks. Recent approaches typically employ supervised fine-tuning methods to adapt CLIP for zero-shot multi-label image recognition tasks. However, obtaining sufficient multi-label annotated image data for training is challenging and not scalable. In this paper, we propose a new language-driven framework for zero-shot multi-label recognition that eliminates the need for annotated images during training. Leveraging the aligned CLIP multi-modal embedding space, our method utilizes language data generated by LLMs to train a cross-modal classifier, which is subsequently transferred to the visual modality. During inference, directly applying the classifier to visual inputs may limit performance due to the modality gap. To address this issue, we introduce a cross-modal mapping method that maps image embeddings to the language modality while retaining crucial visual information. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms other zero-shot multi-label recognition methods and achieves competitive results compared to few-shot methods.
