EZPC - Pre-computed CLIP / SigLIP Embeddings

This dataset hosts the pre-computed image embeddings, cached text (classname / concept) embeddings, and class splits used in Explaining CLIP Zero-shot Predictions Through Concepts (CVPR 2026).

Running EZPC from scratch requires extracting CLIP / SigLIP features for every image in five benchmark datasets (CIFAR-100, CUB-200-2011, Places365, ImageNet, ImageNet-100) with multiple backbones. To skip the expensive feature-extraction step, we release the exact tensors we used in the paper - drop them into the EZPC repo's data/ folder and you can train, evaluate, and reproduce quantitative results without touching the raw images.

What's Included

For each of the five datasets and each supported backbone, this repository provides:

  • Full train / test embeddings + targets: CLIP/SigLIP image features for every training and test image across all classes, along with their class indices. Useful as a general-purpose feature dump and as the input to data/split_dataset.py if you want to regenerate the splits under a different seed or ratio.
  • Seen-split train / test embeddings: embeddings restricted to the 80% "seen" classes. The train split is used to fit the EZPC projection matrix A; the test split measures GZSL seen-class accuracy.
  • Unseen-split train / test embeddings: embeddings restricted to the 20% "unseen" classes held out from training. Used for GZSL unseen-class evaluation (and for the --target_dataset side of cross-dataset transfer).
  • Split-aligned target files: seen_train_ids.pt, seen_test_ids.pt, unseen_train_ids.pt, unseen_test_ids.pt, each giving the class index for every row of the corresponding split.
  • Class split file: the exact seen / unseen class partition (seed 42, 80/20) used in the paper.
  • Cached text embeddings: L2-normalized "a photo of {x}" text embeddings for class names ({backbone}_classname_embs.pt, shape (C, d)) and concepts ({backbone}_concept_matrix.pt, shape (m, d)). test.py loads these automatically so evaluation reproduces the reported numbers exactly and independent of GPU / CUDA version — without re-running the CLIP/SigLIP text encoder.

Supported backbones: CLIP RN50, CLIP ViT-B/32, CLIP ViT-L/14, SigLIP ViT-SO400M/14.

Repository Layout

Each dataset follows the same two-level structure: top-level embeddings/ holds the full image feature dump (all classes) plus the cached text embeddings, and embeddings/splits/ holds the seen/unseen partition used throughout the paper.
