CLIP-like model evaluation

CLIP Benchmark

The goal of this repo is to evaluate CLIP-like models on a standard set of datasets on different tasks such as zero-shot classification and zero-shot retrieval.

Below we show the average rank (1 is the best, lower is better) of different CLIP models, evaluated on different datasets.

The current detailed results of the benchmark can be seen here or directly in the notebook.

Features

• Support for zero-shot classification and zero-shot retrieval
• Support for OpenCLIP pre-trained models
• Support various datasets from torchvision, tensorflow datasets, and VTAB.

How to install?

pip install clip-benchmark

For development, you can also do this:

git clone https://github.com/LAION-AI/CLIP_benchmark
cd CLIP_benchmark
python setup.py install

How to use?

Command line interface (CLI)

The easiest way to benchmark the models is using the CLI, clip_benchmark. You can specify the model to use, the dataset and the task to evaluate on. Once it is done, evaluation is performed and the results are written into a JSON file.

CIFAR-10 example

Here is an example for CIFAR-10 zero-shot classification using OpenCLIP's pre-trained model on LAION-400m:

clip_benchmark --dataset=cifar10 --task=zeroshot_classification --pretrained=laion400m_e32 --model=ViT-B-32-quickgelu --output=result.json --batch_size=64

Here is the content of result.json after the evaluation is done:

{
    "dataset": "cifar10", "model": "ViT-B-32-quickgelu", 
    "pretrained": "laion400m_e32", "task": "zeroshot_classification",
    "metrics": {"acc1": 0.9074, "acc5": 0.998}
}

VOC2007 example

Here is another example with VOC2007, which is a multi-label classification dataset.

clip_benchmark --dataset=voc2007_multilabel --task=zeroshot_classification --pretrained=laion400m_e32 --model=ViT-B-32-quickgelu --output=result.json --batch_size=64

Here is the content of result.json after the evaluation is done:

{"dataset": "voc2007_multilabel", "model": "ViT-B-32-quickgelu", "pretrained": "laion400m_e32", "task": "zeroshot_classification", "metrics": {"mean_average_precision": 0.7627869844436646}}

Here, we compute the mean average precision or mAP, more details about that metric here in the context of multi-label classification.

VTAB example

Here is an example on how to run it on VTAB classification tasks. First, you need to install VTAB's dedicated package.

pip install task_adaptation==0.1

The name of the dataset follows the template vtab/<TASK_NAME>. To have the list of the 19 classification tasks using in VTAB, you can use:

python -c 'from clip_benchmark.datasets.builder import VTAB_19TASKS;print("\n".join(VTAB_19TASKS))'

Then, you can run it by providing the full dataset name. Example with eurosat:

clip_benchmark --dataset=vtab/eurosat --task=zeroshot_classification --pretrained=laion400m_e32 --model=ViT-B-32-quickgelu --output=result.json --batch_size=64

TensorFlow dataset example

Here is an example on how to run it on Tensorflow datasets. First, you need to install tfds-nightly and timm.

pip install timm tfds-nightly

The name of the dataset follows the template tfds/<DATASET_NAME>.

Example with cifar10:

clip_benchmark --dataset=tfds/cifar10 --task=zeroshot_classification --pretrained=laion400m_e32 --model=ViT-B-32-quickgelu --output=result.json --batch_size=64

COCO captions example

Here is an example for COCO captions zero-shot retrieval:

clip_benchmark --dataset=mscoco_captions --task=zeroshot_retrieval --pretrained=laion400m_e32 --model=ViT-B-32-quickgelu --output=result.json --dataset_root=<PATH_TO_IMAGE_FOLDER> --annotation_file=<PATH_TO_ANNOTATION_FILE> --batch_size=64

(see https://cocodataset.org/#home for instructions on how to download)

Note that for using COCO, you also need to install pycocotools, using:

pip install pycocotools

API

You can also use the API directly. This is especially useful if your model does not belong to currently supported models. (TODO)
