connect-caption-and-trace

This repository contains the reference code for our paper Connecting What to Say With Where to Look by Modeling Human Attention Traces (CVPR2021).

Requirements

Python 3
PyTorch 1.5+ (along with torchvision)
coco-caption (Remember to follow initialization steps in coco-caption/README.md)

Prepare data

Our experiments cover all four datasets included in Localized Narratives: COCO2017, Flickr30k, Open Images and ADE20k. For each dataset, we need four things: (1) json file containing image info and word tokens. (DATASET_LN.json) (2) h5 file containing caption labels (DATASET_LN_label.h5) (3) The trace labels extracted from Localized Narratives (DATASET_LN_trace_box/) (4) json file for coco-caption evaluation (captions_DATASET_LN_test.json) (5) Image features (with bounding boxes) extracted by a Mask-RCNN pretrained on Visual Genome.

You can download (1--4) from here: (make a folder named data and put (1--3) in it, and put (4) under coco-caption/annotaions/)

To get (5), you can use Detectron2. First, install Detectron2, then follow Prepare COCO-style annotations for Visual Genome (We use the pre-trained Resnet101-C4 model provided there). After that you can utilize tools/extract_feats.py in Detectron2 to extract features. Finally, run scripts/prepare_feats_boxes_from_npz.py in this repo to prepare features and bounding boxes in seperate folders for training.

For COCO dataest you can also directly use the features provided by Peter Anderson here. The performance is almost the same (with around 0.2% difference.)

Training

The dataset can be chosen from the four datasets. The --task can be chosen from trace, caption, c_joint_t and pred_both. The --eval_task can be chosen from trace, caption, and pred_both.
