Unlocking Insights with VoxelGPT: A User-Friendly Guide

Dec 18, 2020 | Data Science

If you’ve ever wished to venture into the realm of computer vision without writing a single line of code, look no further than VoxelGPT. This innovative tool transforms how you interact with your image and video data, allowing you to extract insights merely by asking questions in plain English. In this guide, we’ll delve into how to set up and utilize VoxelGPT effectively.

What is VoxelGPT?

VoxelGPT is a plugin for FiftyOne that harnesses the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models (LMMs) alongside FiftyOne’s computer vision query language. It enables you to filter, sort, and query your datasets with straightforward questions, and can even perform computations on your data if permission is granted!

Getting Started

Installation Steps

  1. First, install FiftyOne by running:
  2. pip install fiftyone
  3. Next, provide an OpenAI API key. Create one here.
  4. export OPENAI_API_KEY=XXXXXXXX
  5. If you only want to use VoxelGPT in the FiftyOne App, install it as a plugin:
  6. fiftyone plugins download https://github.com/voxel51/voxelgpt --install

Using VoxelGPT in the App

To use VoxelGPT in the FiftyOne App with a loaded dataset, run the following code:


import fiftyone as fo
import fiftyone.zoo as foz

dataset = foz.load_zoo_dataset("quickstart")
session = fo.launch_app(dataset)

Once you have your session running, you can go ahead and start asking questions! For instance:

  • What are some popular model architectures for computer vision?
  • Show me predicted airplanes.

VoxelGPT Query Capabilities

VoxelGPT supports a variety of queries, including:

  • Dataset Queries: Ask about schema, fields, and data views.
  • Computation Queries: Perform analyses on the dataset using plugins.
  • FiftyOne Library Queries: Get assistance about FiftyOne’s documentation.
  • General Machine Learning Queries: Understand key concepts and approaches.

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Imagine VoxelGPT as a highly intelligent librarian who understands the entire library (your dataset) and has the ability to fetch information based on your simple inquiries. When you ask a question, the librarian rearranges the cluttered shelves (dataset) to present only the relevant books (samples) and insights. That is how VoxelGPT interprets your natural language queries and translates them into precise dataset actions.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you experience issues while using VoxelGPT, consider the following:

  • Ensure you have a stable internet connection while accessing API services.
  • Double-check your OpenAI API key and permissions.
  • Update FiftyOne and VoxelGPT to the latest versions using:
  • pip install --upgrade fiftyone voxelgpt
  • If you encounter unexpected results, refine your queries for clarity.
