ImageReward: Learning and Evaluating Human Preferences for Text-to-Image Generation

ImageReward is the first general-purpose text-to-image human preference RM, which is trained on in total 137k pairs of expert comparisons.

It outperforms existing text-image scoring methods, such as CLIP (by 38.6%), Aesthetic (by 39.6%), and BLIP (by 31.6%), in terms of understanding human preference in text-to-image synthesis. Try image-reward package in only 3 lines of code!

# pip install image-reward
import ImageReward as RM
model = RM.load("ImageReward-v1.0")

rewards = model.score("<prompt>", ["<img1_path>", "<img2_path>", ...])

If you find ImageReward's open-source effort useful, please 🌟 us to encourage our following developement!

We have integrated the whole repository to a single python package image-reward. Following the commands below to prepare the environment:

# Clone the ImageReward repository (containing data for testing)
git clone https://github.com/THUDM/ImageReward.git
cd ImageReward

# Install the integrated package `image-reward`
pip install image-reward

We provide example images in the assets/images directory of this repo. The example prompt is:

a painting of an ocean with clouds and birds, day time, low depth field effect

Use the following code to get the human preference scores from ImageReward:

import os
import torch
import ImageReward as RM

if __name__ == "__main__":
    prompt = "a painting of an ocean with clouds and birds, day time, low depth field effect"
    img_prefix = "assets/images"
    generations = [f"{pic_id}.webp" for pic_id in range(1, 5)]
    img_list = [os.path.join(img_prefix, img) for img in generations]
    model = RM.load("ImageReward-v1.0")
    with torch.no_grad():
        ranking, rewards = model.inference_rank(prompt, img_list)
        # Print the result
        print("\nPreference predictions:\n")
        print(f"ranking = {ranking}")
        print(f"rewards = {rewards}")
        for index in range(len(img_list)):
            score = model.score(prompt, img_list[index])
            print(f"{generations[index]:>16s}: {score:.2f}")

The output should be like as follow (the exact numbers may be slightly different depending on the compute device):

Preference predictions:

ranking = [1, 2, 3, 4]
rewards = [[0.5811622738838196], [0.2745276093482971], [-1.4131819009780884], [-2.029569625854492]]
          1.webp: 0.58
          2.webp: 0.27
          3.webp: -1.41
          4.webp: -2.03

Run the following script to automatically download data, baseline models, and run experiments:

bash ./scripts/test.sh

If you want to check the raw data files individually:

• Test prompts and corresponding human rankings for images are located in data/test.json.
• Generated outputs for each prompt (originally from DiffusionDB) can be downloaded from Huggingface or Tsinghua Cloud. It should be decompressed to data/test_images.
