Data Preparation

The dataloader (utils/video_dataset.py) can load RGB frames stored in the following format:

-- dataset_dir
---- train.txt
---- val.txt
---- test.txt
---- videos
------ video_0_folder
-------- 00001.jpg
-------- 00002.jpg
-------- ...
------ video_1_folder
------ ...

Each line in train.txt and val.txt includes 4 elements and separated by a symbol, e.g. space ( ) or semicolon (;). Four elements (in order) include (1) relative paths to video_x_folder from dataset_dir, (2) starting frame number, usually 1, (3) ending frame number, (4) label id (a numeric number).

E.g., a video_x has 300 frames and belong to label 1.

path/to/video_x_folder 1 300 1

The difference for test.txt is that each line will only have 3 elements (no label information).

The same format is used for optical flow but each file (00001.jpg) need to be x_00001.jpg and y_00001.jpg.

On the other hand, for audio data, you need to change the first elements to the path of corresponding wav files, like

path/to/audio_x.wav 1 300 1

After that, you need to update the utils/data_config.py for the datasets accordingly.

We provide the scripts in the tools folder to extract RGB frames and audios from a video. To extract the optical flow, we use the docker image provided by TSN. Please see the help in the script.

Pretrained models

We provide the pretrained models on the Kinetics-Sounds dataset, including the unimodality models and our AdaMML models. You can find all the models here.

Training

After downloding the unimodality pretrained models, here is the command template to train AdaMML:

python3 train.py --multiprocessing-distributed --backbone_net adamml -d 50 \
--groups 8 --frames_per_group 4 -b 72 -j 96 --epochs 20 --warmup_epochs 5 --finetune_epochs 10 \
--modality MODALITY1 MODALITY2 --datadir /PATH/TO/MODALITY1 /PATH/TO/MODALITY2 --dataset DATASET --logdir LOGDIR \
--dense_sampling --fusion_point logits --unimodality_pretrained /PATH/TO/MODEL_MODALITY1 /PATH/TO/MODEL_MODALITY2 \
--learnable_lf_weights --num_segments 5 --cost_weights 1.0 0.005 --causality_modeling lstm --gammas 10.0 --sync-bn \
--lr 0.001 --p_lr 0.01 --lr_scheduler multisteps --lr_steps 10 15

The length of the following arguments depended on how many modalities you would like to include in AdaMML.

  • --modality: the modalities, other augments needs to follow this order
  • --datadir: the data dir for each modality
  • --unimodality_pretrained: the pretrained unimodality model

Note that, to use rgbdiff as a proxy, both rgbdiff and flow needs to be specified in --modality and their corresponding --datadir. However, you only need to provided flow pretrained model in the --unimodality_pretrained

Here are the examples to train AdaMML with different combinations.

RGB + Audio

python3 train.py --multiprocessing-distributed --backbone_net adamml -d 50 \

RGB + Flow (with RGBDiff as Proxy)

python3 train.py --multiprocessing-distributed --backbone_net adamml -d 50 \

Evaluation

Testing an AdaMML model is very straight-forward, you can simply use the training command with following modifications:

  • add -e in the command
  • use --pretrained /PATH/TO/MODEL to load the trained model
  • remove --multiprocessing-distributed and --unimodality_pretrained
  • set --val_num_clips if you would like to test under different number of video segments (default is 10)

Here is command template:

python3 train.py -e --backbone_net adamml -d 50 \
--groups 8 --frames_per_group 4 -b 72 -j 96 \
--modality MODALITY1 MODALITY2 --datadir /PATH/TO/MODALITY1 /PATH/TO/MODALITY2 --dataset DATASET --logdir LOGDIR \
--dense_sampling --fusion_point logits --pretrained /PATH/TO/ADAMML_MODEL \
--learnable_lf_weights --num_segments 5 --causality_modeling lstm --sync-bn
