To install, run the following commands to install the required packages:
git clone https://github.com/BillChan226/HALC.git
cd HALC
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate halc
We employ Grounding DINO as the external detector to ground hallucinatory objects. To install GroundingDINO with CUDA, we simplify the installation process, where you can:
# set CUDA_HOME to the virtual environment halc
export CUDA_HOME=$CONDA_PREFIX
# install GroundingDINO
cd decoder_zoo/GroundingDINO
pip install -e .
# go back to HALC root
cd ../..
To download pre-trained model weights for DINO:
# default directory that contains the weights
mkdir model_checkpoints
cd model_checkpoints
# download weights
wget -q https://github.com/IDEA-Research/GroundingDINO/releases/download/v0.1.0-alpha/groundingdino_swint_ogc.pth
# go back to HALC root
cd ..

Following Evaluating Object Hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models, we used "Please describe this image in detail." as the prompt to query LVLM for captions of the 500
images randomly sampled from COCO 2014 Val datast. Under root directory, run
python run_scripts/caption_generation.py --model [LVLM Backbone] --data_path [COCO_DIR] -d [Decoding Strategy] --num_samples 500 --seed [SEED] --gpu-id [GPU_IDs] --output_dir ./generated_captions/ --debugging 1
--debugging 1
will print the intermediate hallucination correction process of HALC.
Since OPOPE evaluates directly based on the caption generated for each image, it follows the caption generation procedure for CHAIR and differs in the subsequent metric calculation. To collect samples for the conventional POPE evaluation, under root directory, run
python run_scripts/pope_eval.py --model [LVLM Backbone] --data_path [COCO_DIR] -d [Decoding Strategy] --pope_type [random/popular/adversarial] --num_images 100 --seed [SEED] --gpu_id [GPU_IDs] --output_dir ./generated_captions/
MME also follows the same procedure as CHAIR and OPOPE to collect samples. Alternatively, under root directory, run
python run_scripts/mme_eval.py --model [LVLM Backbone] --data_path [MME_DIR] -d [Decoding Strategy] --num_samples 30 --seed [SEED] --gpu-id [GPU_IDs] --output_dir ./generated_captions/
Under root directory, run
python run_scripts/reviser_eval.py -r [woodpecker/lure] --data_path [COCO_DIR] --c [PATH_TO_CAPTION] --seed [SEED] --gpu-id [GPU_IDs] --output_dir ./log/
After preparing your caption files using the above commands, you can either choose to evaluate the captions in an one-shot mode (single caption) or batch mode (all the caption files in a folder). To evaluate a single caption file,
python eval/eval_hallucination.py --metric chair --chair_input_path [PATH_TO_CAPTION_DIR] -v
To evaluate a batch of caption files, run
python eval/caption_to_chair.py -c [PATH_TO_CAPTION_FOLDER_DIR]
to convert the caption files to the format ready for CHAIR evaluation in the same directory first. Then a _chair.json
file will be produced under this folder. To further evaluate the CHAIR score as well as the generation quality scores, run
python eval/batch_eval.py -c [PATH_TO_CAPTION_FOLDER_DIR] --evaluator chair --coco_path [COCO_DIR]
Note that [COCO_DIR]
is expected to contain both images and annotation files within the annotations
subfolder. In other words, [COCO_DIR]
should the the following structure:
COCO_DIR (val2014 for example)
- annotations
- captions_val2014.json
- captions_val2014.json
- instances_train2014.json
- instances_val2014.json
- person_keypoints_train2014.json
- person_keypoints_val2014.json
- COCO_val2014_000000000042.jpg
- COCO_val2014_000000000073.jpg
...
Similarly, you can also evaluate POPE in both modes. To evaluate a single caption file,
python eval_hallucination.py --metric pope --pope_answer_path [PATH_TO_CAPTION_DIR] --pope_question_path [PATH_TO_POPE_QUESTION] -v
To evaluate a batch of caption files, run
python eval/batch_eval.py -c [PATH_TO_CAPTION_FOLDER_DIR] --evaluator pope --pope_type [random/popular/adversarial]
The evaluation results will be saved in the same directory.
To evaluate the MME scores on each chosen subset, modify the subset_dir
variable here to include the list of directories of your target directories and run
python eval/MME_eval.py
Click to view how to run some interesting demo!
Run CDL demo on a toy example:
python context_density/context_decoding.py --cfg-path eval_configs/minigpt4_llama2_eval.yaml --gpu-id 0
Specify early_exit_layer_idx then run ViT early exit layers contrastive decoding:
python vit_early_exit_contrast.py --cfg-path eval_configs/minigpt4_llama2_eval.yaml --gpu-id 0
run
python toy_dola_eval.py --model-name ./models/models--meta-llama--Llama-2-7b-chat-hf/snapshots/94b07a6e30c3292b8265ed32ffdeccfdadf434a8 --output-path output-path.json --num-gpus 1 --early-exit-layers 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32
Note: adding 32 in the early-exit-layers is crucial for reasonable output.
JSD for each candidate layer is printed and input at line 2720 of file DoLa/transformers-4.28.1/src/transformers/generation/utils.py
run a toy example:
python contrast_decoding.py --cfg-path eval_configs/minigpt4_llama2_eval.yaml --gpu-id 0
The toy example is projected into the prefix of the language model as a context.
Add --debugger
argument to the command line to print the debugging output for HALC. Specifically, use --debugger 1
to print the intermediate hallucination correction with HALC, and --debugger 2
to print all the debugging output. For example:
python run_scripts/caption_generation.py --debugger 1
If error NameError: name '_C' is not defined
is reported, refer to this issue for a quick fix.
conda install -c conda-forge pattern
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=[YOUR NVIDIA CUDA VERSION] -c pytorch -c nvidia
simply reinstall torch==2.0.0 will most likely solve the issue
pip uninstall torch
pip install torch==2.0.0
