mturk-text2shape

This repository contains the code we used for collecting model descriptions for ShapeNet for the Text2Shape project.

Getting started

Get mturk-rails and follow directions to install ruby on rails and setup mturk-rails according to the mturk-rails/README.md

git clone git@github.com:smartscenes/mturk-rails.git

Link experiments to mturk-rails

scripts/setup.sh mturk-rails
bundle exec rake mturk:develop[model2desc]
bundle exec rake mturk:develop[verify_model_desc]

Add to mturk-rails/config/routes.rb

  get 'experiments/model2desc', to: 'experiments/model2desc#index'
  get 'experiments/model2desc/results', to: 'experiments/model2desc#results'

  get 'experiments/verify_model_desc', to: 'experiments/verify_model_desc#index'
  get 'experiments/verify_model_desc/results', to: 'experiments/verify_model_desc#results'

Basic command to run task

To run task on Amazon MTurk

• RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake mturk:run[model2desc]

Use the mturk-rails UI to look and get your results as csv.

You can also do the following to dump the state of the database.

• RAILS_ENV=production rake db:data:dump

You can use the Amazon MTurk interface to approve and reject workers. When done, use the following to approve and pay workers and remove the hit from Amazon MTurk.

• RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake mturk:recall[model2desc]

Directory structure

Basic directory structure

- experiments                     # Mturk Experiments 
  - model2desc                    # Show a image or 3d model and ask for a description
  - verify_model_desc             # Takens model2desc output and ask user to select model matching description  
- scripts/setup.sh                # Script to symlink experiment files to main mturk-rails

Each experiment has the following (following the rails file structure):

<experiment name>
  - app
    - controller                  # App controller logic 
    - views                       # View (webpage) with instructions and UI elements
  - config                        # Configuration (task description, turker pay, csv file to use)
  - javascript                    # Javascript code for the front end
  - public                        # CSV data for the task goes here
