Marqo-GS-10M

This dataset is our multimodal, fine-grained, ranking Google Shopping dataset, Marqo-GS-10M, followed by our novel training framework: Generalized Contrastive Learning (GCL). GCL aims to improve and measure the ranking performance of information retrieval models, especially for retrieving relevant products given a search query.

1. Motivation

Contrastive learning has gained widespread adoption for retrieval tasks due to its minimal requirement for manual annotations. However, popular contrastive frameworks typically learn from binary relevance, making them ineffective at incorporating direct fine-grained rankings.

In this paper, we curate a large-scale dataset: Marqo-GS-10M, featuring detailed relevance scores for each query-document pair to facilitate future research and evaluation.

Subsequently, we propose Generalized Contrastive Learning for Multi-Modal Retrieval and Ranking (GCL), which is designed to learn from fine-grained rankings beyond binary relevance score.

Our results show that GCL achieves a 94.5% increase in NDCG@10 for in-domain and 26.3 to 48.8% increases for cold-start evaluations, measured relative to the CLIP baseline within our curated ranked dataset.

2. Dataset and Benchmarks

Dataset Structure

Illustration of multi-dimensional split along both query and document dimensions resulting in 4 splits: training split with 80% of queries and 50% of documents, novel query splitwith the other 20% of queries and the same documents as the training split, novel corpus split with the same queries as the training split and unseen documents with the equal size of the training corpus, and zero-shot split with unseen queries and documents.

For each dataset such as marqo_gs_full_10m, there are 4 splits as discussed before.

• query_0_product_id_0 represents in-domain set,
• query_1_product_id_0 represents novel query set,
• query_0_product_id_1 represents novel document set,
• query_1_product_id_1 represents zero shot set, For each split, there is a ground truth csv containing triplet information, a set of validation ground truth and a set of test ground truth.

3. Instructions to use the GCL Benchmarks

Install environment

conda create -n gcl python=3.8
conda activate gcl
conda install pytorch==1.13.1 torchvision==0.14.1 torchaudio==0.13.1 pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install jupyterlab pandas matplotlib beir pytrec_eval braceexpand webdataset wandb notebook open_clip_torch
pip install --force-reinstall numpy==1.23.2

Evaluate using GCL benchmarks

1. Download the Dataset, links above. We recommend try out the Sample set first.
2. Either prepare your own model or download our finetuned model down below.
3. Modify eval-vitb32-ckpt.sh to add image dir, eval dir and model path.
4. Use change_image_paths.py to modify image paths in the csv.

python change_image_paths.py /dataset/csv/dir/path /image/root/path
# Example:
python change_image_paths.py /data/marqo-gs-dataset/marqo_gs_wfash_1m /data/marqo-gs-dataset/images_wfash

5. Run the eval script:

bash ./scripts/eval-vitb32-ckpt.sh

4. GCL Training Framework and Models

Overview of our Generalized Contrastive Learning (GCL) approach. GCL integrates ranking information alongside multiple input fields for each sample (e.g., title and image) across both left-hand-side (LHS) and right-hand-side (RHS). Ground-truth ranking scores are transformed into weights, which are used for computing contrastive losses, ensuring that pairs with higher weights incur greater penalties. Please refer to the paper for full explanation.

    return last_hidden.sum(dim=1) / attention_mask.sum(dim=1)[..., None]
