  • Feature Extraction Tools

Please Refer to OpenViDial_extract_features

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Scene Segmentation

  • Preprocess

move train.json, valid.json, test.json to inputs/full directory

run following script to change the original to binary format to run our baseline smoothly (check in our paper)

cd inputs/full
python preprocess.py
  • Train
python train_seg.py \
	--video 1 \
	--exp_set EXP_LOG \
	--train_batch_size 4 \
  • Infer
python generate_seg.py \
	--ckptid SAVED_CKPT_ID \
	--gpuid 0 \
	--exp_set EXP_LOG \
	--video 1 \

Topic Segmentation

  • Train
python train_seg.py \
	--video 0 \
	--exp_set EXP_LOG \
	--train_batch_size 4 \
  • Infer
python generate_seg.py \
	--ckptid SAVED_CKPT_ID \
	--gpuid 0 \
	--exp_set EXP_LOG \
	--video 0 \

Dialogue Generation

To use coco_caption for evaluation, run the following script to generate the reference file:

cd inputs/full
python coco_caption_reformat.py

for the evaluation details, please refer to: https://github.com/tylin/coco-caption

  • Train
python train_gen.py \
	--train_batch_size 4 \
	--model bart \
	--exp_set EXP_LOG \
	--video 1 \
	--fea_type resnet \

  • Infer
python generate.py \
	--ckptid SAVED_CKPT_ID \
	--gpuid 0 \
	--exp_set EXP_LOG \
	--video 1 \
	--sess 1 \
	--batch_size 4
