Introduction

This is the official implementation of the paper. In this paper, we propose SOHO to "See Out of tHe bOx" that takes a whole image as input, and learns vision-language representation in an end-to-end manner. SOHO does not require bounding box annotations which enables inference 10 times faster than region-based approaches.

Architecture

• VQA Codebase

• Pre-training Codebase

• Other Downstream Tasks

Installation

conda create -n soho python=3.7

Getting Started

1. Download the training, validation and test data

   # download Pre-traning dataset
   mkdir -p $SOHO_ROOT/data/vg_coco_pre
   cd $SOHO_ROOT/data/vg_coco_pre
   wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2014.zip
   wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/val2014.zip
   #download vg dataset
   wget https://cs.stanford.edu/people/rak248/VG_100K_2/images.zip
   wget https://cs.stanford.edu/people/rak248/VG_100K_2/images2.zip
   unzip images.zip
   unzip images2.zip
   rm -rf images.zip images2.zip
   mv VG_100K_2/*.jpg VG_100K/
   cd VG_100K
   zip -r images.zip .
   mv images.zip ../
   cd ..
   rm -rf VG_100K*
   wget https://sohose.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/data/pretraining/coco_cap_train_pre.json
   wget https://sohose.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/data/pretraining/coco_cap_val_pre.json
   wget https://sohose.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/data/pretraining/vg_cap_pre.json
   mkdir -p $SOHO_ROOT/data/coco
   cd $SOHO_ROOT/data/coco
   # download VQA dataset
   wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2014.zip
   wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/val2014.zip
   wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/test2015.zip
   wget https://sohose.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/data/vqa/train_data_vqa.json
   wget https://sohose.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/data/vqa/val_data_vqa.json
   wget https://sohose.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/data/vqa/test_data_vqa.json

2. Train the Pre-training models

   cd $SOHO_ROOT
   # use 8 GPUS to train the model
   bash tools/dist_train.sh configs/Pretrain/soho_res18_pre.py 8
   
   # you also can download the pre-trained models 
   mkdir -p $SOHO_ROOT/work_dirs/pretrained
   cd $SOHO_ROOT/work_dirs/pretrained
   # download pre-training weight
   wget https://sohose.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/checkpoint/soho_res18_fp16_40-9441cdd3.pth

3. Training a VQA model

   cd $SOHO_ROOT
   # use 8 GPUS to train the model
   bash tools/dist_train.sh configs/VQA/soho_res18_vqa.py 8

4. Evaluate a VQA model

   # test 18 epoch with 8GPUs
   bash tools/dist_test_vqa.sh configs/VQA/soho_res18_vqa.py 18 8
