Requirements

python3.6 +
pytorch1.6.0
tensorboardX
ffmpeg

Usage

1. Clone this repo

   https://github.com/GeWu-Lab/MWAFM.git

2. Download data

   Clotho-AQA and AQA-MUSIC-AVQA

3. Data pre-processing

   We follow exact the same setting data format as MUSIC AVQA.

   Notice: We examined the original annotation files of Clotho-AQA and found that the official open-source annotations were not cleansed, resulting in discrepancies where different annotators provided different answers for the same question. As a result, we performed a simple filtering process where we considered a question to have the correct answer if it had at least two identical answers Based on this filtering process, we obtained a new and more accurate annotation file. The files in 'metadata' folder are described as follows

   • 'single_word_[train/val/test].csv', Does not contain samples with answers yes and no.
   • 'single_word_[train/val/test]_clean.csv', Does not contain samples with answers yes and no. (Cleaned data)
   • 'clotho_aqa_[train/val/test]_clean.csv', Contains samples with answers yes and no. (Cleaned data)
   • 'binary_[train/val/test]_clean.csv', Include only samples with answers yes and no. (Cleaned data)

4. Train and evaluate

   Training

   python main_MWAFM.py --mode train

   Testing

   python main_MWAFM.py --mode test
