Requirements

Download

The code is for Charades-STA dataset.

After cloning this repo, please donwload:

ref_info contains Charades-STA annotations, semantic activity concepts, checkpoints and others. After downloading ref_info.tar, untar it and move the folder to the root/ directory of this repo.

Please also change the visual feature and visual activity concepts directories in the main.py.

Training

For the paper results on Charades-STA dataset, run

python main.py --is_only_test True \
--checkpoint_path ./ref_info/charades_sta_wacv_2019_paper_ACL_k_results/trained_model.ckpt-10000 \
--test_name paper_results

You will get similar results listed in the row "ACL-K" of the following table.

ModelR@1,IoU=0.7R@1,IoU=0.5R@5,IoU=0.7R@5,IoU=0.5
CTRL7.1521.4226.9159.11
ACL-K12.2030.4835.1364.84

To train the model from scratch, run

python main.py

The results and checkpoints will appear in root/results_history/ and root/trained_save/, respectively.
