relsgg-vits16

Open-vocabulary relation prediction from any boxes or masks. Give the model an image and regions from any source (a detector, a segmenter, ground truth); it returns ranked relations over a predicate vocabulary supplied at inference, and optionally two graphs (spatial + semantic) from the same forward pass. Object class labels are never an input.

Part of RelateAnything (code · paper). Trained on RA-4M; evaluated with OV-SGG-Bench.

Use it

pip install git+https://github.com/Maelic/RelateAnything
hf download maelic/relsgg-vits16          # optional; the API fetches on first use

from relsgg import RelateAnything

# Regions come from any detector, any segmenter, or your own annotation.
# Object class labels are never an input.
model = RelateAnything.from_pretrained("maelic/relsgg-vits16", device="cuda")
for t in model.predict(image, boxes_xyxy, topk=20):    # PIL/ndarray, boxes [N, 4] in pixels
    print(t)                                           # (person) --riding [0.67]--> (horse)

# Masks instead of boxes: pass the [N, H, W] binary masks beside their extents.
triplets = model.predict(image, boxes_xyxy, masks=masks, topk=20)

# The vocabulary is an input. Any strings, at any time, without retraining.
model.set_vocabulary(["about to collide with", "reflected in"])

# Or answer from the whole training vocabulary, 19,103 strings, read from the weights.
model = RelateAnything.from_pretrained("maelic/relsgg-vits16", full_vocabulary=True, device="cuda")

# Two graphs from one forward pass.
graphs = model.predict(image, boxes_xyxy, decompose=True)   # {"spatial": [...], "semantic": [...]}

Every vocabulary is encoded once by the text student shipped beside the weights, and the head is reparameterized onto it; scoring afterwards is vision only. full_vocabulary=True reads predicate_embeddings.npz instead of encoding, which turns a minute and a half of CPU work into a download. model.pth embeds the backbone configuration, so running these weights needs no gated DINOv3 login.

Files: model.pth (torch, EMA weights), text_student.pt + tokenizer, predicate_embeddings.npz (the training vocabulary, encoded), predicate_bank.npz, thresholds.json, calibration.json, README.md.

Every number below is generated from measured eval artifacts (release/make_model_cards.py); none is hand-typed.

Closed-vocabulary transfer (reparameterized, TEST, graph-constrained)

source	R@50	mR@50	F1@50
vg150	0.525	0.273	0.359
psg	0.396	0.298	0.340

hicodet	0.453	0.305	0.365

Open-vocabulary, NO reparameterization (all 19,103 predicates deployed)

Synonym-matched at the calibrated tau (see provenance). This is the honest "the model never saw your label set" protocol.

source	SoftR@50	SoftmR@50	SoftF1@50
vg150	0.551	0.333	0.415
psg	0.303	0.268	0.284
indoorvg	0.528	0.315	0.395

Spatial reasoning (SpatialSense, adversarial true/false; chance = 0.5)

Macro AUC over predicates: 0.6757

Two-graph decomposition (spatial / semantic, type-stratified protocol)

source	spatial R@50 / mR@50	semantic R@50 / mR@50
vg150	0.627 / 0.298	0.494 / 0.294
psg	0.601 / 0.534	0.404 / 0.316
indoorvg	0.606 / 0.335	0.406 / 0.276

Deployment thresholds (per-predicate best-F1, measured on THIS checkpoint)

Score scales are checkpoint-specific (the output head is rank-trained), so these thresholds transfer to no other model. Regime: gt boxes, pair_weight=0, 5000 val images. Top predicates by support:

predicate	threshold	best F1	GT support
behind	0.890	0.329	3599
in front of	0.865	0.337	3576
wearing	0.985	0.678	3417

License and data notices

Weights are a derivative of Meta DINOv3 pretrained weights and are distributed under the DINOv3 license. Training annotations (RA-4M) were generated by gemma-4-26B and carry the Gemma Terms of Use notice; images are referenced by identifier only (Objects365/COCO/OpenImages). The vg_raw subset derives from Visual Genome (CC BY 4.0). Predicate synonyms are deliberately never collapsed — surface-form diversity is part of the label space.
