Semantic-Grounded Image Representations (Based on the Bottom-up features)
This code is written in Python2.7 and requires PyTorch >= 0.4.1
You may take a look at https://github.com/s-gupta/visual-concepts to find how to get the textual concepts of an image by yourself.
- Download
Download the mscoco images from link. You need 2014 training images and 2014 val. images. You should put the train2014/ and val2014/ in the ./data/images/ directory.
Note: We also provided a download bash script to download the mscoco images:
cd data/images/original && bash download_mscoco_images.sh
- Preprocess
Now you may need to run resize.py to resize all the images (in both train and val folder) into 256 x 256. You may specify different locations inside resize.py
python resize_images.py
- Download
You may download the mscoco captions from the official website or use the download bash script provided by us.
cd data && bash download_mscoco_captions.sh
- Preprocess
Afterwards, you should create the Karpathy split for training, validation and test.
python KarpathySplit.py
Then you can build the vocabulary by running (Note: You should download the nltk_data to build the vocabulary.)
unzip nltk_data.zip && python build_vocab.py
Download the Textual Concepts (Google Drive) and put it in the ./data/ directory.
mv image_concepts.json ./data
Now you can train the baseline models and the baseline w/ MIA models with:
(Note: We also released the pre-trained models in [Google Drive] (Coming Soon!))
- Baseline
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=VisualAttention
- Baseline w/ MIA
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=VisualAttention --use_MIA=True --iteration_times=2
- Baseline
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=ConceptAttention
- Baseline w/ MIA
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=ConceptAttention --use_MIA=True --iteration_times=2
- Baseline
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=VisualCondition
- Baseline w/ MIA
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=VisualCondition --use_MIA=True --iteration_times=2
- Baseline
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=ConceptCondition
- Baseline w/ MIA
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=ConceptCondition --use_MIA=True --iteration_times=2
- Baseline
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=VisualRegionalAttention
- Baseline w/ MIA
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python Train.py --basic_model=VisualRegionalAttention --use_MIA=True --iteration_times=2
You can test the trained model with Test.py, but don't forget to download the coco-caption code from link1 or link2 into coco directory.
- Baseline
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python Test.py --basic_model=basic_model_name
Note: basic_model_name = (VisualAttention, ConceptAttention, VisualCondition, ConceptCondition, VisualRegionalAttention)
- Baseline w/ MIA
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python Test.py --basic_model=basic_model_name --use_MIA=True --iteration_times=2
