I Like Paintings

I Like Paintings is a Python package that can predict the painting appreciation (if people like or not the painting) from the image using a linear regressor trained on top of a frozen CLIP features extractor model on two paintings appreciation datasets. The package contains pre-trained weights for nine models on two datasets (VAPS-999 and Sidhu's one). All linear predictors in this package assume that their input embeddings are L2 normalized.

Installation

You can install I Like Paintings via pip:

pip install ilikepaintings

Usage

To use the package, you need to load the weights of the linear regressor. Here is an example code snippet:

from ilikepaintings import load_predictor, VALID_MODELS, VALID_DATASETS

# Choose a model and dataset
clip_model_name = VALID_MODELS[0]
dataset_name = VALID_DATASETS[0]

# Load the predictor
predictor = load_predictor(clip_model_name, dataset_name)

For a fully working example on a real painting, look at demo.ipynb or try on !

Benchmark

The following table shows the cross-validation scores (k=5) of the linear model with the best hyper-parameters, measured using the Pearson correlation coefficient. These scores were obtained for each CLIP model backend and dataset. The final released models were retrained using the same hyper-parameters and fitted on the whole dataset. All embeddings are L2 normalized.
