CLIP Score for PyTorch

This repository provides a batch-wise quick processing for calculating CLIP scores. It uses the pretrained CLIP model to measure the cosine similarity between two modalities. The project structure is adapted from pytorch-fid and CLIP.

Installation

Requirements:

Install PyTorch:

pip install torch  # Choose a version that suits your GPU

Install CLIP:

pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git

Install clip-score from PyPI:
```
pip install clip-score
```

Data Input Specifications

This project is designed to process paired images and text files, and therefore requires two directories: one for images and one for text files.

Image Files

All images should be stored in a single directory. The image files can be in either .png or .jpg format.

Text Files

All text data should be contained in plain text files in a separate directory. These text files should have the extension .txt.

File Number and Naming

The number of files in the image directory should be exactly equal to the number of files in the text directory. Additionally, the files in the image directory and text directory should be paired by file name. For instance, if there is a cat.png in the image directory, there should be a corresponding cat.txt in the text directory.

Directory Structure Example

Below is an example of the expected directory structure:

├── path/to/image
│   ├── cat.png
│   ├── dog.png
│   └── bird.jpg
└── path/to/text
    ├── cat.txt
    ├── dog.txt
    └── bird.txt

In this example, cat.png is paired with cat.txt, dog.png is paired with dog.txt, and bird.jpg is paired with bird.txt.

Please adhere to the specified structure to ensure correct operation of the program. If there are any questions or issues, feel free to raise an issue here on GitHub.

Usage

To compute the CLIP score between images and texts, make sure that the image and text data are contained in two separate folders, and each sample has the same name in both modalities. Run the following command:

python -m clip_score path/to/image path/to/text

If GPU is available, the project is set to run automatically on a GPU by default. If you want to specify a particular GPU, you can use the --device cuda:N flag when running the script, where N is the index of the GPU you wish to use. In case you want to run the program on a CPU instead, you can specify this by using the --device cpu flag.

Computing CLIP Score within the Same Modality

If you want to calculate the CLIP score within the same modality (e.g., image-image or text-text), follow the same folder structure as mentioned above. Additionally, specify the preferred modalities using the --real_flag and --fake_flag options. By default, --real_flag=img and --fake_flag=txt. Examples:

python -m clip_score path/to/imageA path/to/imageB --real_flag img --fake_flag img
python -m clip_score path/to/textA path/to/textB --real_flag txt --fake_flag txt
