Evaluation Using Interface

Input:
  • Required Inputs:
    • input: The instruction or textual description column associated with the image (e.g., “A vibrant sunrise over a mountain”).
    • image_url: The URL column of the image being evaluated.
  • Configuration Parameters:
    • criteria: The evaluation standard that defines how the alignment is measured (e.g., colour accuracy, object representation, or stylistic features).
Output:
  • Score: Percentage score between 0 and 100
Interpretation:
  • Higher scores: Indicate strong alignment between the instructions and the image based on the specified criteria.
  • Lower scores: Suggest discrepancies or misalignment between the instructions and the image.

What to do if Eval Image Instruction has Low Score

The first step is to review the evaluation criteria to ensure they are clearly defined and aligned with the intended assessment goals. If necessary, adjustments should be made to enhance their comprehensiveness and relevance. Next, a detailed analysis of the instruction and image should be conducted to examine their alignment. Any discrepancies or misalignments should be identified, and refinements should be considered, either by modifying the instructions or improving the image generation process to achieve better consistency.

​
Differentiating Eval Image Instruction with Score Eval

Eval Image Instruction focuses specifically on assessing the alignment between textual instructions and image, ensuring that the generated image accurately represents the given instructions. In contrast, Score Eval has a broader scope, evaluating coherence and alignment across multiple inputs and outputs, including both text and images. Eval Image Instruction assesses instruction-image accuracy, whereas Score Eval examines overall coherence and adherence to instructions. Eval Image Instruction is ideal for cases where precise image representation is the main concern, while Score Eval is better suited for complex scenarios involving multiple modalities, ensuring comprehensive alignment and coherence.
