1. Download data

• PH $^2$ dataset: https://www.fc.up.pt/addi/ph2%20database.html
• Derm7pt dataset: https://derm.cs.sfu.ca/Welcome.html
• ISIC 2018 (Task 3) dataset: https://challenge.isic-archive.com/data/#2018

Note: You should mask out the original images of each dataset with the available masks (download masks here) in order to reproduce the results of the paper.

2. Training

2.1 Prepare conda environment

Create a new conda environment with the required libraries contained in requirements.txt file:

conda create --name cbi-vlm --file requirements.txt

2.2 Fine-Tune CLIP on Derm7pt and ISIC 2018

• Use the configuration file (CLIP/modules/config.py) to adjust settings for training:

  • clip_model: choose between {ViT-B/32, ViT-B/16, RN50, RN101, ViT-L/14, RN50x16}
  • seed: choose between {0, 42, 84, 168}
  • dataset: choose between {'derm7pt', 'ISIC_2018'}
  • batch_size: default 32
  • image_embedding: set accordingly to dim of each CLIP model
  • text_embedding: set accordingly to dim of each CLIP model
  • projection_dim: set accordingly to your preference
  • path_to_model: path of the trained model

  See suplementary document for more details on the architectures chosen.

• Change image file paths according to your own file paths in extract_image_embeddings function [CLIP/modules/utils.py].

• Run train script [CLIP/train.py]:

python train.py

• Run inference script [CLIP/inference.py] (Extract image & text embeddings used for evaluation):

 python inference.py

3. Evaluation

All required dataset splits are available under /data folder.
