Have you ever wondered how we can evaluate the generation of interconnected text and images? Welcome to InterleavedBench, a pioneering tool that allows researchers and developers alike to perform holistic evaluations based on the recently published paper **Holistic Evaluation for Interleaved Text-and-Image Generation**. In this blog, we will walk through the steps needed to utilize this valuable tool, troubleshoot common issues, and ensure your evaluation process runs smoothly.

Getting Started with InterleavedBench

The beauty of InterleavedBench lies in its simplicity. Here’s how to get started:

Repo Hierarchy

• interleaved_bench.json: The main JSON file containing the dataset.
• zipped_images: A directory containing zipped images for each subset, including context and ground truths.
• src/interleavedeval_gpt4o.py: The Python script used for evaluation with GPT-4o that processes your model prediction file.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Unzip the Images: Begin by unzipping the image files found under the zipped_images directory.
2. Run Inference: Execute your model on the interleaved_bench.json file to obtain your model’s predictions, which should include both text and images.
3. Perform Evaluation: Use the script found in src/interleavedeval_gpt4o.py to evaluate your output.

Understanding the JSON Example

Much like a recipe in a cookbook, the data format you’re working with is organized and structured. Let’s break down an example provided in the interleaved_bench.json file:

id: wikihow_next_step_0_489157,
image: wiki_images_test489157_0_0.png, wiki_images_test489157_0_1.png, ...
task_name: wikihow_next_step,
conversations: from: human, value: In this task, you are given a high-level goal How to Make a Banana Shake...

This JSON format is akin to a recipe card that guides you through creating delicious contents. The id serves as a unique identifier (like a recipe title), the image is the visual representation of your completed dish, and finally, the conversations include the sequential steps to achieve the expertly designed Banana Shake. Just as recipes can vary, so can the contents of your JSON file based on the task at hand.

Important Notes

A few crucial reminders:

• For tasks involving image editing or subject-driven generation, be aware that the scores related to text (like quality and coherence) are set to 0. It’s advisable to skip these scores when calculating overall performance.

Troubleshooting Tips

While technology can be magnificent, it sometimes presents challenges. Consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure all dependencies are installed: Check if you have the necessary Python libraries like those required for image processing.
• Examine JSON format: A slight error in formatting (like missing commas or brackets) can lead to script failures. Double-check carefully.
• Model compatibility: Ensure that your model’s predictions align with the required input format of the evaluation script.
