eva is an evaluation framework for oncology foundation models (FMs) by kaiko.ai. Check out the documentation for more information.

Highlights:

• Easy and reliable benchmark of Oncology FMs
• Automatic embedding inference and evaluation of a downstream task
• Native support of popular medical datasets and models
• Produce statistics over multiple evaluation fits and multiple metrics

Installation

Simple installation from PyPI:

# to install the core version only
pip install kaiko-eva

# to install the expanded `vision` version
pip install 'kaiko-eva[vision]'

# to install everything
pip install 'kaiko-eva[all]'

To install the latest version of the main branch:

pip install "kaiko-eva[all] @ git+https://github.com/kaiko-ai/eva.git"

You can verify that the installation was successful by executing:

eva --version

How To Use

eva can be used directly from the terminal as a CLI tool as follows:

eva {fit,predict,predict_fit} --config url/or/path/to/the/config.yaml 

When used as a CLI tool, _eva_ supports configuration files (.yaml) as an argument to define its functionality. Native supported configs can be found at the configs directory of the repo. Apart from cloning the repo, you can download the latest config folder as .zip from your browser from here. Alternatively, from a specific release the configs can be downloaded from the terminal as follows:

curl -LO https://github.com/kaiko-ai/eva/releases/download/0.0.1/configs.zip | unzip configs

For example, to perform a downstream evaluation of DINO ViT-S/16 on the BACH dataset with linear probing by first inferring the embeddings and performing 5 sequential fits, execute:

# from a locally stored config file
eva predict_fit --config ./configs/vision/dino_vit/offline/bach.yaml

# from a remote stored config file
eva predict_fit --config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kaiko-ai/eva/main/configs/vision/dino_vit/offline/bach.yaml

Note

All the datasets that support automatic download in the repo have by default the option to automatically download set to false. For automatic download you have to manually set download=true.

To view all the possibles, execute:

eva --help
