Requirements

• Python 3.8
• Pytorch 1.8.0
• CUDA 11.1

Required packages are listed in requirements.txt. You can install by running:

conda create -n P-MIL python=3.8
conda activate P-MIL
conda install pytorch==1.8.0 torchvision==0.9.0 torchaudio==0.8.0 cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c conda-forge
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Data Preparation

1. Prepare THUMOS14 dataset.

   • We recommend using features and annotations provided by W-TALC or CO2-Net.
   • You can also get access of it from Google Drive.

2. Prepare proposals generated from pre-trained S-MIL model.

   • We recommend using their official codes (such as CO2-Net) to generate proposals.
   • You can just download the proposals used in our paper from Google Drive.

3. Place the features and annotations inside a data/Thumos14reduced/ folder and proposals inside a proposals folder. Make sure the data structure is as below.

            ├── Thumos14reduced-I3D-JOINTFeatures.npy

Running

Training

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py --run_type train

Testing

The pre-trained model can be downloaded from Google Drive, which is then placed inside a checkpoints folder.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py --run_type test --pretrained_ckpt checkpoints/best_model.pkl

Results

The experimental results on THUMOS14 are as below. Note that the performance of checkpoints we provided is slightly different from the orignal paper!
