Post-hoc Probabilistic Vision-Language Models

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.06014
Project page: https://aaltoml.github.io/BayesVLM/

Setup Instructions

1. Ensure you have Python version >= 3.11 installed.
2. Install the required packages by running:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set DATA_BASE_DIR in your .env file. You can use the structure from the .env.example file.

   DATA_BASE_DIR=/path/to/datasets
   

4. Add the project root directory to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.

   export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/project/root

Running the Code

To run the hessian estimation code, use the following command:

python scripts/hessian_estimation.py

To run the code for zero-shot experiments, use the following command:

python scripts/zeroshot.py

To run the code for the active-learning experiments, use the following command:

python scripts/activelearning.py

Note that each of those commands has additional arguments that allow the adjustment of the Hessian estimation and zero-shot/active learning experiments.

Hessians

The precomputed Hessians for the models used in the paper are available in the hessians/ folder. You can select a specific hessian by setting --hessian_dir in the provided scripts.

Notebooks

A notebook stepping through the zero-shot code is available in notebooks/zeroshot.ipynb.

Data Setup

The data is stored in the DATA_BASE_DIR folder and is structured as follows:

DATA_BASE_DIR/
├── cifar10/
├── cifar100/
├── eurosat/
├── flowers102/
├── food101/
├── homeoffice/
├── imagenet1k/
├── imagenet_r/
├── imagenet_val_wds/
├── laion400m/
├── sun397/
├── ucf101/

Please set the DATA_BASE_DIR environment variable accordingly.

CIFAR-10

The CIFAR-10 dataset is automatically downloaded by the huggingface datasets library.

CIFAR-100

The CIFAR-100 dataset is automatically downloaded by the huggingface datasets library.

EuroSAT

From https://github.com/vishaal27/SuS-X/blob/main/data/DATA.md

• Create a folder named eurosat/ under DATA_BASE_DIR.
• Download the dataset from http://madm.dfki.de/files/sentinel/EuroSAT.zip and extract it to DATA_BASE_DIR/eurosat/.
• Download split_zhou_EuroSAT.json from here and put it under DATA_BASE_DIR/eurosat.

The directory structure should look like

eurosat/
|–– 2750/
|–– split_zhou_EuroSAT.json

Flowers102

The Flowers102 dataset is automatically downloaded by the torchvision library.

Food101

The Food101 dataset is automatically downloaded by the torchvision library.

HomeOffice

Download the dataset from https://www.hemanthdv.org/officeHomeDataset.html and extract it to DATA_BASE_DIR/homeoffice/.

The directory structure should look like

homeoffice/
|–– Art/
|–– Clipart/
|–– Product/
|–– Real World/
|–– ImageInfo.csv
|–– imagelist.txt

Stanford Cars

Follow the instructions pytorch/vision#7545 (comment) to download the dataset and extract it to DATA_BASE_DIR/stanford_cars/.

DTD

The DTD dataset is automatically downloaded by the torchvision library.

Imagenet Web-Dataset (val)

We supply the script scripts/download_imagenet.py to download all validation tar files for the ImageNet dataset from the Hugging Face Datasets Hub. After running the script, the directory structure should look like

imagenet_val_wds/
|–– imagenet1k-validation-00.tar
|–– imagenet1k-validation-01.tar
|–– ...
|–– imagenet1k-validation-63.tar

Laion400M

The laion400M dataset can be downloaded using the img2dataset tool. The instructions for the laion400m dataset are available here. Before running the img2dataset script, we removed all data points marked as NSFW in the metadata.

SUN397

• Create a folder named sun397/ under ./data.
• Download the images http://vision.princeton.edu/projects/2010/SUN/SUN397.tar.gz.
• Download the partitions https://vision.princeton.edu/projects/2010/SUN/download/Partitions.zip.
• Extract these files under ./data/sun397/.
• Download split_zhou_SUN397.json from this link and put it under ./data/sun397.

The directory structure should look like

sun397/
|–– SUN397/
|–– split_zhou_SUN397.json
|–– ... # a bunch of .txt files

UCF101

• Create a folder named ucf101/ under ./data.
• Download the zip file UCF-101-midframes.zip from here and extract it to ./data/ucf101/. This zip file contains the extracted middle video frames.
• Download split_zhou_UCF101.json from this link and put it under ./data/ucf101.

The directory structure should look like

ucf101/
|–– UCF-101-midframes/
|–– split_zhou_UCF101.json
