HuggingFace Transformers#

This tutorial demonstrates how deepchecks.vision can be used on a Hugging Face transformer model. We will use deepchecks to compare the performance of the DETR ResNet transformers model against the widely used YOLOv5s model on the COCO dataset.

Building a VisionData Object for the DETR Model#

In order to use the DETR model, we need to translate the image, label and prediction formats to the ones supported by deepchecks (see the Working with Models and Predictions) and define a deepchecks.vision.vision_data.VisionData object that will be used to run the checks.

We’ll start by loading the DETR ResNet model from the Hugging Face Transformers library:

import torch
from transformers import DetrForObjectDetection

device = torch.device("cuda") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu")
detr_resnet = DetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained('facebook/detr-resnet-50')
detr_resnet = detr_resnet.to(device)
detr_resnet = detr_resnet.eval()

And then we’ll move on to implementing the COCODETRData class, which will help us keep all the required format conversions in one place.

We can now create VisionData object. This deepchecks object accepts a batch loader, which is an iterator that yields batches of images, labels, predictions and any other required information. To read more about it, see the The Vision Data Class. In this example our batch loader is a python dataloader, so we’ll create a custom collate function that will convert the data to the required formats and generate the predictions. We’ll then use the head method to make sure the dataset was created successfully.

from deepchecks.vision.datasets.detection import coco_torch as coco
from deepchecks.vision.datasets.detection import coco_utils
from deepchecks.vision.vision_data import BatchOutputFormat

detr_train_datalaoder = coco.load_dataset(batch_size=8, object_type='DataLoader')
detr_test_datalaoder = coco.load_dataset(batch_size=8, train=False, object_type='DataLoader')


def deepchecks_collate_fn_generator(model, device):
    """Generates a collate function that converts the batch to the deepchecks format, using the given model."""

    detr_formatter = COCODETRData()

    def deepchecks_collate_fn(batch):
        """A collate function that converts the batch to the format expected by deepchecks."""

        # Reproduce the steps of the default collate function
        batch = list(zip(*batch))

        images = detr_formatter.batch_to_images(batch)
        labels = detr_formatter.batch_to_labels(batch)
        predictions = detr_formatter.infer_on_batch(batch, model, device)

        return BatchOutputFormat(images=images, labels=labels, predictions=predictions)

    return deepchecks_collate_fn


detr_test_datalaoder.collate_fn = deepchecks_collate_fn_generator(detr_resnet, device)
detr_test_ds = VisionData(detr_test_datalaoder, task_type='object_detection', label_map=coco_utils.LABEL_MAP)

detr_test_ds.head()

Validating

Great! We can see that the labels match the object locations, and that the labels an detections align.

Load Pre-Made YOLOv5s#

Next, we’ll load from deepchecks.vision.datasets.detection.coco_torch a VisionData containing a sample of the COCO dataset (coco 128) complete with YOLO predictions on this dataset, both downloaded from ultralytics repository. We’ll use yolo to benchmark the results achieved by the DETR model.

yolo_test_ds = coco.load_dataset(object_type='VisionData', train=False)

We already loaded the data wrapped with the relevant VisionData object, so we can just use the Mean Average Precision Report check to evaluate the model’s performance for various IoU thresholds and bounding box sizes.

from deepchecks.vision.checks import MeanAveragePrecisionReport

yolo_map_result = MeanAveragePrecisionReport().run(yolo_test_ds)
yolo_map_result.show()

Mean Average Precision Report for Yolov5

Benchmarking YOLOv5s Against DETR ResNet#

Now that we have everything in place, we can run the Mean Average Precision Report check also on the DETR model! Let’s run and compare to the YOLO results.

# The test data contains the same dataloader as the yolo_test_ds, the only difference being them being wrapped by
# different subclasses of DetectionData facilitating the interface to the different models.
detr_map_result = MeanAveragePrecisionReport().run(detr_test_ds)
detr_map_result.show()

Mean Average Precision Report for DETR ResNet

Comparing to the results achieved earlier with YOLO:

yolo_map_result.show()

Mean Average Precision Report for Yolov5

We can clearly see an improvement in the DETR model! We can further see that the greatest improvement has been achieved for the larger objects, with objects of sizes of up to 32^2 squared pixels improving only from an mAP of 0.21 to 0.26.

Of course, now that the VisionData object has been implemented you can use any of the other deepchecks check and suites. You can check them out in our Check Gallery, and learn more about when you should use each of our built-in suites.
