Taxonomy Creation

Define the items you want to recognize

When you click the Taxonomy (first) step for a Zero-Shot model, you will be taken to a special version of the taxonomy page. Here, you can create, edit, delete, or even temporarily disable your labels, as well as immediately live-test the results on your model in the browser.

Now you can create your labels. For zero shot it is important to know:

• Label Name: This is what the user will see when the item is recognized. This can be any word, and has no impact on the recognition.

• Description: Visually describe what you want to be recognized and called the Label Name associated with this description

For example, I will add 2 labels to my model, "Person" and "iPhone". These are both quite basic objects and don't need much more description, so I will add them as:

Label Name	Description
iPhone	an iphone
Person	a person

Now, if I select my webcam from the dropdown, I should see that while my face is in frame, it will predict "Person" but if I hold my iPhone in front of the camera, it will switch to iPhone.

If I want a somewhat more specific prediction, I might need to add more detail like the following:

Label Name	Description
Happy Person	a person's face smiling
Person	a person with a neutral face
Sad Person	a person's face frowning
iPhone	an iPhone

Now if I change my facial expression, I will get the appropriate predictions.

You can edit your labels to try new descriptions using the Pencil icon, or delete them using the trash can. If I want to disable a particular label from entering the model, but I don't want to commit to deleting it from my project, I can press the Eye icon to hide the label from use.
