Custom Task Tutorial#

Computer vision is an umbrella term for a wide spectrum of objectives models are trained for. These objective reflect on the structure of the data and the possible actions on it.

The first step before running any Deepchecks checks is to create an implementation of VisionData. Each implementation represents and standardize a computer vision task and allows to run a more complex checks which relates to the given task’s characteristics. There are default base classes for a few known tasks like classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation however not all tasks have a base implementation, meaning you will have to create your own task.

When creating your own task you will be limited to run checks which are agnostic to the specific task type. For example performance checks that uses IOU works only on object detection tasks, since they need to know the exact bounding box format in order to run, while other checks that uses Data Properties or custom metrics are agnostic to the task type.

In this guide we will implement a custom instance segmentation task and run checks on it. Note that instance segmentation is different from semantic segmentation, which is currently supported in Deepchecks.

Defining the Data#

First we will define a PyTorch Dataset. of COCO-128 segmentation task. This part represents your own code, and is not yet Deepchecks related.

Implement Custom Task#

With our data and model ready we can write the task class.

With the built-in base classes, the checks are accessing directly the values which return from the functions infer_on_batch and batch_to_labels and therefore they require a standard format. But with custom task, these functions’ values are not used directly, so we can just return our own data as is. On the other hand the functions batch_to_images and get_classes are used so we will need to make sure our data is in the expected format.

from typing import List, Sequence

from deepchecks.vision import VisionData


class MyCustomInstanceSegmentationData(VisionData):
    """Class for loading the COCO instance segmentation dataset."""

    def get_classes(self, batch_labels) -> List[List[int]]:
        """Return per label a list of classes (by id) in it."""
        # The input `batch_labels` is the result of `batch_to_labels` function.
        return [x[0] for x in batch_labels]

    def batch_to_labels(self, batch):
        """Extract from the batch only the labels. Must return an iterable with an element per image."""
        _, classes, masks = batch
        return [(classes[idx], masks[idx]) for idx in range(len(classes))]

    def infer_on_batch(self, batch, model, device):
        """Infer on a batch of images. Must return an iterable with an element per image."""
        predictions = model.to(device)(batch[0])
        return predictions

    def batch_to_images(self, batch) -> Sequence[np.ndarray]:
        """Convert the batch to a list of images as (H, W, C) 3D numpy array per image."""
        return [tensor.numpy().transpose((1, 2, 0)) for tensor in batch[0]]

Now we are able to run checks that use only the image data, since it’s in the standard Deepchecks format. Let’s run PropertyLabelCorrelationChange check with our task

from deepchecks.vision.checks import PropertyLabelCorrelationChange

# Create our task with the `DataLoader`s we defined before.
train_task = MyCustomInstanceSegmentationData(train_data_loader)
test_task = MyCustomInstanceSegmentationData(test_data_loader)

result = PropertyLabelCorrelationChange().run(train_task, test_task)
result.show()

Now in order to run more check, we’ll need to define custom properties or metrics.

Implement Custom Properties#

In order to run checks that are using label or prediction properties we’ll have to implement a custom properties. We’ll write label properties and run a label drift check.

from itertools import chain

from deepchecks.vision.checks import TrainTestLabelDrift

# The labels object is the result of `batch_to_labels` function we defined earlier. The property should return a flat
# list of values.


def number_of_detections(labels) -> List[int]:
    """Return a list containing the number of detections per sample in batch."""
    all_masks = [x[1] for x in labels]
    return [sample_masks.shape[0] for sample_masks in all_masks]


def classes_in_labels(labels: List[torch.Tensor]) -> List[int]:
    """Return a list containing the classes in batch."""
    classes = [x[0] for x in labels]
    return classes


# We will pass this object as parameter to checks that are using label properties
label_properties = [
    {'name': '# Detections per Label', 'method': number_of_detections, 'output_type': 'categorical'},
    {'name': 'Classes in Labels', 'method': classes_in_labels, 'output_type': 'class_id'}
]

result = TrainTestLabelDrift(label_properties=label_properties).run(train_task, test_task)
result.show()

Implement Custom Metric#

Some checks test the model performance and requires a metric in order to run. When using a custom task you will also have to create a custom metric in order for those checks to work, since the built-in metrics don’t know to handle your data structure. The metrics need to conform to the API of pytorch-ignite.
