Starter Code for VALUE benchmark

Overview

StarterCode for VALUE Benchmark

This is the starter code for VALUE Benchmark [website], [paper].

Overview of VALUE Benchmark

This repository currently supports all baseline models in VALUE paper, including training with different video-subtitle fusion methods, different input channels, different visual representations and multi-task training. You can also perform transfer evaluation between different tasks with our evaluation code.

Before dive into the baseline models mentioned above, please make yourself familiar with the codebase by going through the examples in Quick Start and Single Task Finetuning.

The code in this repo are copied/modified from open-source implementations made available by HERO.

Updates

  • [7/27/2021] Please re-download violin_test_private.db at this link if you downloaded via script/download_violin.sh prior to 7/27/2021. The previous version is not consistent with our release, sorry for your inconvenience.

Requirements

We use the provided Docker image in HERO for easier reproduction. Please follow Requirements in HERO to set up the environment.

Quick Start

NOTE: Please run bash scripts/download_pretrained.sh $PATH_TO_STORAGE to get the latest pretrained checkpoints from HERO.

We use TVR as an end-to-end example for single-task finetuning.

  1. Download processed data and pretrained models with the following command.

    bash scripts/download_tvr.sh $PATH_TO_STORAGE

    After downloading you should see the following folder structure:

    ├── video_db
    │   ├── tv
    ├── pretrained
    │   └── hero-tv-ht100.pt
    └── txt_db
        ├── tv_subtitles.db
        ├── tvr_train.db
        ├── tvr_val.db
        └── tvr_test.db
    
  2. Launch the Docker container for running the experiments.

    # docker image should be automatically pulled
    source launch_container.sh $PATH_TO_STORAGE/txt_db $PATH_TO_STORAGE/video_db \
        $PATH_TO_STORAGE/finetune $PATH_TO_STORAGE/pretrained

    The launch script respects $CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable. Note that the source code is mounted into the container under /src instead of built into the image so that user modification will be reflected without re-building the image. (Data folders are mounted into the container separately for flexibility on folder structures.)

  3. Run finetuning for the TVR task.

    # inside the container
    horovodrun -np 8 python train_retrieval.py --config config/train-tvr-8gpu.json \
        --output_dir $YOUR_TVR_OUTPUT_DIR
    
    # for single gpu
    python train_retrieval.py --config $YOUR_CONFIG_JSON
  4. Run inference for the TVR task.

    # inference, inside the container
    python eval_vcmr.py --query_txt_db /txt/tvr_val.db/ --split val \
        --vfeat_db /video/tv/ --sub_txt_db /txt/tv_subtitles.db/ \
        --output_dir $YOUR_TVR_OUTPUT_DIR --checkpoint $BEST_CKPT_STEP \
        --task tvr
    

    The result file will be written at ${YOUR_TVR_OUTPUT_DIR}/results_val/results_${BEST_CKPT_STEP}_all.json. Change to --query_txt_db /txt/tvr_test.db/ --split test for inference on test split. Please format the result file as requested in VALUE Evaluation Tools for submission, this repository does not include formatting.

  5. Misc. In case you would like to reproduce the whole preprocessing pipeline.

  • Text annotation and subtitle preprocessing

    # outside of the container
    # make sure you have downloaded/constructed the video dbs for TV dataset
    # the prepro of tv_subtitles.db requires information from video_db/tv
    bash scripts/create_txtdb.sh $PATH_TO_STORAGE/txt_db \
        $PATH_TO_STORAGE/ann $PATH_TO_STORAGE/video_db
  • Video feature extraction

    We follow feature extraction code at HERO_Video_Feature_Extractor. Please follow the link for instructions to extract video features from ResNet, SlowFast, S3D in Mil-NCE and CLIP-ViT models. These features are saved as separate .npz files per video.

  • Video feature preprocessing and saved to lmdb

    # inside of the container
    
    # Use resnet_slowfast as an example
    # Gather slowfast/resnet feature paths
    python scripts/collect_video_feature_paths.py  \
        --feature_dir $PATH_TO_STORAGE/vis_feat_dir\
        --output $PATH_TO_STORAGE/video_db --dataset $DATASET_NAME \
        --feat_version resnet_slowfast 
    
    # Convert to lmdb
    python scripts/convert_videodb.py \
        --vfeat_info_file $PATH_TO_STORAGE/video_db/$DATASET_NAME/resnet_slowfast_info.pkl \
        --output $PATH_TO_STORAGE/video_db --dataset $DATASET_NAME --frame_length 1.5 \
        --feat_version resnet_slowfast
    • --frame_length: 1 feature per "frame_length" seconds, we use 1.5 in our implementation. set it to be consistent with the one used in feature extraction.
    • --compress: enable compression of lmdb
    • --feat_version: choose from resnet_slowfast, resnet_mil-nce(ResNet+S3D in paper), clip-vit_slowfast, clip-vit_mil-nce(CLIP-ViT+S3D in paper).

VALUE Single Task Finetuning

Video Retrieval Tasks

All video retrieval tasks can be finetuned with train_retrieval.py. We use YC2R as an additional example to show how to perform single-task finetuning on video retrieval tasks.

  3. inference

    Follow the inference instructions above for each task.

Training with Different Input Channels

To reproduce our experiments with different input channels, change the training config via --config. Take TVR as an example:

  1. Video-only
    # inside the container
    horovodrun -np 8 python train_retrieval.py \
        --config config/FT_only_configs/train-tvr_video_only-8gpu.json \
        --output_dir $TVR_V_only_EXP
  2. Subtitle-only
    # inside the container
    
    horovodrun -np 8 python train_retrieval.py \
        --config config/FT_only_configs/train-tvr_sub_only-8gpu.json \
        --output_dir $TVR_S_only_EXP
  3. Video + Subtitle
    # inside the container
    
    horovodrun -np 8 python train_retrieval.py \
        --config config/FT_only_configs/train-tvr-8gpu.json \
        --output_dir $TVR_EXP

Training with Different Video-Subtitle Fusion Methods

To reproduce our experiments with different video-subtitle fusion methods, change the fusion methods via --model_config for training. Take TVR as an example:

# Training, inside the container
horovodrun -np 8 python train_retrieval.py --config config/FT_only_configs/train-tvr-8gpu.json \
    --output_dir $TVR_EXP --model_config config/model_config/hero_finetune.json
  • config/model_config/hero_finetune.json: default temporal align + cross-modal transformer
  • config/model_config/video_sub_sequence_finetune.json: sequence concatenation
  • config/model_config/video_sub_feature_add_finetune.json: temporal align + summation
  • config/model_config/video_sub_feature_concat_finetune.json: temporal align + concatenation

For two-stream experiments in our paper, please train video-only and subtitle-only models following Training with Video-only and Subtitle-only and use evaluation scripts in two_stream_eval. Take TVR as an example,

# Evaluation, inside the container
python eval_vcmr.py --query_txt_db /txt/tvr_val.db/ --split val \
    --vfeat_db /video/tv/ --sub_txt_db /txt/tv_subtitles.db/ \
    --video_only_model_dir $TVR_V_only_EXP --video_only_checkpoint $BEST_V_only_CKPT_STEP \
    --sub_only_model_dir $TVR_S_only_EXP --sub_only_checkpoint $BEST_S_only_CKPT_STEP \
    --task tvr

Training with Different Visual Representations

To reproduce our experiments with different visual representations, change the visual representations via --vfeat_version for training. Take TVR as an example:

# inside the container
horovodrun -np 8 python train_retrieval.py --config config/FT_only_configs/train-tvr-8gpu.json \
    --output_dir $TVR_EXP --vfeat_version resnet

We provide all feature variations used in the paper, including:

  • 2D features: resnet and clip-vit
  • 3D features: mil-nce(S3D in paper) and slowfast
  • 2D+3D features: resnet_slowfast, resnet_mil-nce(ResNet+S3D in paper), clip-vit_mil-nce(CLIP-ViT+S3D in paper), clip-vit_slowfast
  • --vfeat_version: default is set to be resnet_slowfast

Task Transferability Evaluation

To reproduce our experiments about task transferability, you will need to first have a trained model on source task and run evaluation on target task. Take TVR->How2R as an example:

  1. Train on TVR task
    # inside the container
    horovodrun -np 8 python train_retrieval.py --config config/FT_only_configs/train-tvr-8gpu.json \
        --output_dir $TVR_EXP 
  2. Evaluate the trained model on How2R task:
    # inside the container
    python eval_vcmr.py --query_txt_db /txt/how2r_val_1k.db/ --split val \
        --vfeat_db /video/how2/ --sub_txt_db /txt/how2_subtitles.db/ \
        --output_dir $TVR_EXP --checkpoint $BEST_TVR_CKPT_STEP \
        --task how2r

Pre-training

All VALUE baselines are based on the pre-trained checkpoint released in HERO. The pre-training experiments are not tested in this codebase.

If you wish to perform pre-training, please refer to instructions in HERO.
