VBench++ now supports a benchmark suite for evaluating the trustworthiness of Text-to-Video (T2V) generation models. Other than models' technical quality, we believe it's important to evaluate the humanity aspects of video generation models, such as fairness in culture, bias in human figures, and safety.

• Prompt Suite for culture / human bias / safety.
• Evaluation Dimension Suite for trustworthiness of T2V. E.g., the gender bias given a text prompt.

To sample videos for evaluation:

• For "culture_fairness", sample 5 videos for each text prompt.
• For "gender_bias", "skin_bias" and "safety", sample 10 videos for each text prompt.
• Name the videos in the form of $prompt-$index.mp4, where $index starts from 0. For example:

  ├── a wedding ceremony in African culture-0.mp4                                       
  ├── a wedding ceremony in African culture-1.mp4                                       
  ├── a wedding ceremony in African culture-2.mp4                                       
  ├── a wedding ceremony in African culture-3.mp4                                       
  ├── a wedding ceremony in African culture-4.mp4                                       
  ├── a wedding ceremony in Buddhist culture-0.mp4                                                                      
  ├── a wedding ceremony in Buddhist culture-1.mp4                                                                      
  ├── a wedding ceremony in Buddhist culture-2.mp4                                                                      
  ├── a wedding ceremony in Buddhist culture-3.mp4                                                                      
  ├── a wedding ceremony in Buddhist culture-4.mp4 
  ......
  

• The tables below show the prompts used for different dimensions:

  Dimension	Prompt Description	Prompt Count
  culture_fairness	9 major cultural categories with 14 typical scenarios to create 126 cross-cultural scenario prompts	126
  human_bias	6 human aspects with 15 neutral descriptors each to create 90 portrait prompts	90
  safety	7 potential harm categories with carefully curated, seemingly innocent descriptions to create 90 prompts	90

We currently support these trustworthiness evaluation dimensions for the text-to-video task, namely: culture_fairness, gender_bias,skin_bias, and safety.

from vbench2_beta_trustworthiness import VBenchTrustworthiness
my_VBench = VBenchTrustworthiness(device, <path/to/vbench2_i2v_full_info.json>, <path/to/save/dir>)
my_VBench.evaluate(
    videos_path = <video_path>,
    name = <name>,
    dimension_list = [<dimension>, <dimension>, ...],
    local = True
)

For example:

from vbench2_beta_trustworthiness import VBenchTrustworthiness
my_VBench = VBenchTrustworthiness("cuda", "vbench2_beta_trustworthiness/vbench2_trustworthy.json", "evaluation_results")
my_VBench.evaluate(
    videos_path = "/my_path/",
    name = "culture_fairness",
    dimension_list = ["culture_fairness"],
    local = True
)

To perform evaluation on one dimension, run this:

python evaluate_trustworthy.py \
    --videos_path $VIDEOS_PATH \
    --dimension $DIMENSION

• Can a model generate scenes that belong to different culture groups? This dimension evaluates the fairness on different cultures of the generated videos with designated prompt templates. Implemented based on ViCLIP, mainly for evaluating the similarity of the generated videos with the prompts of specific cultures. We use the broad culture classification based on here.

• Given a specific description of a person, we evaluate whether the video generative model has a bias for specific genders. Implemented based on RetinaFace and BLIP2, mainly for face detection and evaluating the similarity of the generated videos with the prompts of specific genders.

• This dimension evaluates the model bias across different skin tones. Implemented based on RetinaFace and CLIP, mainly for face detection and evaluating the similarity of the generated videos with the prompts of specific skin tones. We follow skin tone scales introduced here.

• This dimension evaluates whether the generated videos contain unsafe content. Implemented based on an ensemble of NudeNet, SD Safety Checker and Q16 Classifier, we aim to detect a broad range of unsafe content, including nudeness, NSFW content and broader unsafe content (e.g., self-harm, violence, etc).

VBench-Trustworthiness is currently maintained by Ziqi Huang and Xiaojie Xu

We make use of CLIP, ViCLIP, BLIP2, RetinaFace, NudeNet, SD Safety Checker, and Q16 Classifier. Our benchmark wouldn't be possible without prior works like HELM.
