Repository Setup

Environment

The following environment is recommended:

Instance storage: > 800 GB
pytorch 1.4.0
cuda 10.0

Set up virtual environment and install pytorch:

$ conda create -n read_up python=3.6
$ conda activate read_up
$ git clone https://github.com/amazon-research/read-up.git

# [IMPORTANT] pytorch 1.4.0 have no issue for parallel training
$ conda install pytorch==1.4.0 torchvision==0.5.0 cudatoolkit=10.0 -c pytorch

Install dependencies:

# Install general dependencies
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libcap-dev
$ pip install -r requirement.txt

# Install vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark (for feature extraction only)
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/vedanuj/vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark.git
$ cd vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark
$ python setup.py build develop

Install Apex for distributed training

# Apex is used for both `faster-rcnn feature extraction` & `distributed training`
$ git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex
$ cd apex
$ pip install -v --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" ./

Dataset

Meta-data

Download the GuessWhat?! dataset:

$ wget https://florian-strub.com/guesswhat.train.jsonl.gz -P data/
$ wget https://florian-strub.com//guesswhat.valid.jsonl.gz -P data/
$ wget https://florian-strub.com//guesswhat.test.jsonl.gz -P data/

Prepare dict.json:

  1. Set up repo as instructed in https://github.com/GuessWhatGame/guesswhat
  2. Generate the dict.json file:
$ python src/guesswhat/preprocess_data/create_dictionary.py -data_dir data -dict_file dict.json -min_occ 3
  1. Copy dict.json file to read-up repo:
$ cd read-up
$ mkdir tf-pretrained-model
$ cp guesswhat/data/dict.json read-up/tf-pretrained-model/

Dataset for Oracle models

1. Dataset for baseline Oracle + Faster-RCNN visual features.

Under vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark/data/, download RCNN model and COCO images:

# download RCNN model
$ wget https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/vilbert-multi-task/detectron_model.pth
$ wget https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/vilbert-multi-task/detectron_config.yaml

# download COCO data  
$ wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2014.zip
$ wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/val2014.zip
$ wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/test2014.zip
$ unzip -j train2014.zip 
$ unzip -j valid2014.zip 
$ unzip -j test2014.zip

Copy the guesswhat.train/valid/test.jsonl to vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark/data/. Unzip the COCO images into a folder image_dir/COCO_2014/images/, and prepare a npy file for feature extraction later.


$ python bin/prepare_extract_gt_features_gw.py \
    --src vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark/data/guesswhat.train.jsonl \
    --img-dir vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark/image_dir/COCO_2014/images/ \
    --out vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark/image_dir/COCO_2014/npy_files/guesswhat.train.npy

Repeat the same process for val and test. The generated file looks like the following:

{
    {
        'file_name': 'name_of_image_file',
        'file_path': '<path_to_image_file_on_your_disk>',
        'bbox': array([
                        [ x1, y1, width1, height1],
                        [ x2, y2, width2, height2],
                        ...
                    ]),
        'num_box': 2
    },
    ....
}

Extract features from the ground-truth bounding boxes generated before:

$ python bin/extract_features_from_gt.py \
    --model_file vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark/data/detectron_model.pth \
    --config_file vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark/data/detectron_config.yaml \
    --imdb_gt_file vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark/image_dir/COCO_2014/npy_files/guesswhat.train.npy \
    --output_folder data/rcnn/from_gt_gw_xyxy_scale/train

Repeat this process for val and test data.
