Masked Autoencoders As Spatiotemporal Learners: A PyTorch Implementation

This is a PyTorch/GPU re-implementation of the paper Masked Autoencoders As Spatiotemporal Learners:

@Article{MaskedAutoencodersSpatiotemporal2022,
  author  = {Christoph Feichtenhofer and Haoqi Fan and Yanghao Li and Kaiming He},
  journal = {arXiv:2205.09113},
  title   = {Masked Autoencoders As Spatiotemporal Learners},
  year    = {2022},
}

Another implementation that supports AVA and SSv2 downstream evaluation is available in PySlowFast.

• This repo is a modification on the MAE repo. Installation and preparation follow INSTALL.md.

• This repo is based on timm==0.3.2, for which a fix is needed to work with PyTorch 1.8.1+.

Fine-tuning with pre-trained checkpoints

The following table provides the pre-trained checkpoints used in the paper, pretrained with 90% mask ratio and 1600 effective epochs, converted from the PySlowFast codebase:

The fine-tuning instruction is in FINETUNE.md.

Pre-training

The pre-training instruction is in PRETRAIN.md.
