Code and data for our paper "IGLUE: A Benchmark for Transfer Learning across Modalities, Tasks, and Languages".

IGLUE: The Image-Grounded Language Understanding Evaluation Benchmark

This is the implementation of the approaches described in the paper:

Emanuele Bugliarello, Fangyu Liu, Jonas Pfeiffer, Siva Reddy, Desmond Elliott, Edoardo Maria Ponti, Ivan Vulić. IGLUE: A Benchmark for Transfer Learning across Modalities, Tasks, and Languages. arXiv 2022; abs/2201.11732.

We provide the code for reproducing our results, preprocessed data and pretrained models.

IGLUE models and tasks will also be integrated into VOLTA, upon which our repository was origally built.

Repository Setup

To set the environment to reproduce our results, see "Repository Setup" in the VOLTA's README.

Data

datasets/ contains the textual data for each dataset.

Check out its README for links to preprocessed data

Features extraction steps for each of dataset and backbone can be found under features_extraction/.

Models

The checkpoints of all the pretrained V&L models can be downloaded from ERDA.

For more details on defining new models in VOLTA, see volta/MODELS.md.

Model configuration files are stored in volta/config/.

Training and Evaluation

We provide the scripts we used to train and evaluate models in experiments/:

• zero_shot/: English fine-tuning and zero-shot/`translate test' evaluation
• few_shot/: Few-shot experiments for each dataset-language-shots triplet
• few_shot.dev-mt/: Few-shot experiments when using dev sets in the target languages (MT)
• translate_train.de/: `Translate train' experiments on xFLickr&CO in German
• translate_train.ja/: `Translate train' experiments on xFLickr&CO in Japanese

Task configuration files are stored in config_tasks/.
