VLP

This repo hosts the source code for our AAAI2020 work Vision-Language Pre-training (VLP). We have released the pre-trained model on Conceptual Captions dataset and fine-tuned models on COCO Captions and Flickr30k for image captioning and VQA 2.0 for VQA.

Installation

Conda Environment (Option I, Recommended)

  1. Recursively ssh clone the repo to include coco and pythia submodules.
git clone --recursive git@github.com:LuoweiZhou/VLP.git

or clone with https:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/LuoweiZhou/VLP.git
  1. Install CUDA (e.g., 10.0), CUDNN (e.g., v7.5), and Miniconda (either Miniconda2 or 3, version 4.6+).

  2. Run the following commands to set up conda env and install Python packages:

MINICONDA_ROOT=[to your Miniconda root directory] # e.g., /home/[usrname]/miniconda3
cd VLP
conda env create -f misc/vlp.yml --prefix $MINICONDA_ROOT/envs/vlp
conda activate vlp
  1. Finally, cd to the repo root directory and install other dependencies by running:
./setup.sh

To support language evaluation (SPICE), run

cd coco-caption
./get_stanford_models.sh

Docker Image (Option II)

First, install or upgrade to the latest docker (e.g., set <VERSION_STRING> to 5:19.03.2~3-0~ubuntu-xenial). Then pull our docker image:

docker pull luzhou/vlp

Before running the container, you need to declare the environment variable to your data root ($DATA_ROOT, see data prep) and it will be attached as a volume to our container. Finally, install nvidia-container-toolkit and run the docker image in a fresh container:

docker run --gpus all --name vlp_container -it \
     -v $DATA_ROOT:/mnt/dat \
     --shm-size 8G -p 8888:8888 vlp /bin/bash

You can know more about docker commands and usages here.

(Optional) To build the image on your own,

docker build -t vlp .

Data Preparation

Download links for dataset annotations and features: COCO Captions+VQA 2.0 (Part I(95GB), Part II(79GB), download both and run cat COCO0* > COCO.tar.gz), Flickr30k Captions(27GB). If you prefer to download with wget, we attach the commands here. Then, uncompress the downloaded files and place under your data root (denoted as DATA_ROOT).

To prepare for the pre-training, first download and uncompress our pre-processed Conceptual Captions (CC) data(6GB) and place under your data root. Then, download and uncompress the region features from Google Drive (feat(509GB), cls(468GB)) under the CC/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd/feat_cls_1000_float16 dir. To evaluate CC on caption generation, download the reference file and place it under coco-caption/annotations.

Besides, download and uncompress the detectron fc7 weight files under the code root directory (denoted as CODE_ROOT): GVD Detectron fc7.

(Optional, only for VQA) Download the VQA 2.0 annotation (based on Pythia):

cd $CODE_ROOT/pythia
mkdir -p data && cd data
wget http://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/pythia/data/vocab.tar.gz
tar xf vocab.tar.gz && rm vocab.tar.gz

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/cvmlp/vqa/mscoco/vqa/v2_Annotations_Val_mscoco.zip
unzip v2_Annotations_Val_mscoco.zip && rm v2_Annotations_Val_mscoco.zip

mkdir -p imdb && cd imdb
wget https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/pythia/data/imdb/vqa.tar.gz
tar xf vqa.tar.gz && rm vqa.tar.gz

(Optional, only for pre-training) Download the UniLM checkpoints and uncompress under your checkpoint root (denoted as CHECKPOINT_ROOT).

Experiment Overview

Most of the experiments in this work are performed on 8x V100 GPUs with distributed data parallel (i.e., set --world_size to 8, --local_rank and --global_rank from 0 to 7 with 8 separate scripts), unless specified otherwise. See below for detailed configurations (also in the Appendix of the paper).

Dataset Batch Size Learning Rate # of Epochs GPUs Time per Epoch
CC 64(x8) 1e-4(x8) 30 8x V100 5hr
COCO 64(x8) 3e-5(x8) 30 8x V100 12min
VQA 2.0 64(x2) 2e-5(x2) 20 2x V100 32min
Flickr30k 64(x8) 3e-5(x8) 30 8x V100 3min
COCO (w/o pre-training) 64(x8) 3e-4(x8) 30 8x V100 12min
COCO (SCST training) 16(x4) 1e-6(x4) 30 4x Titan Xp 3hr

The (x2), (x4), (x8) in the batch size and learning rate results from distributed data parallel. Gradients are accumulated/added across GPUs.

Note that some modules need to be imported manually:

export PYTHONPATH=$CODE_ROOT/pythia:$CODE_ROOT/pythia/pythia/legacy:$CODE_ROOT:$PYTHONPATH

Pre-training

An example code on single-GPU training:

python vlp/run_img2txt_dist.py --output_dir $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_cc} \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/bert_save/base_model_pretrained/model_153999_cpu.bin \
    --do_train --learning_rate ${lr} --new_segment_ids --always_truncate_tail --amp \
    --src_file $DATA_ROOT/CC/annotations/dataset_cc.json \
    --dataset cc --split train --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/CC/annotations/cc_valid_jpgs.json \
    --local_rank -1 --global_rank -1 --world_size 1 --enable_butd \
    --s2s_prob ${w_s} --bi_prob ${w_b} --image_root $DATA_ROOT/CC/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd \
    --region_bbox_file bbox/cc_detection_vg_thresh0.2_feat_gvd_checkpoint_trainval.h5 \
    --region_det_file_prefix feat_cls_1000_float16/cc_detection_vg_100dets_gvd_checkpoint_trainval

where lr=1e-4, w_s=0.75, w_b=0.25, and checkpoint_cc is the id of the checkpoint. The pre-trained models are available here.

Fine-tuning

The fine-tuning checkpoints are available at: COCO (CE optim), COCO (CIDEr optim), VQA 2.0 (train on train set only), Flickr30k.

COCO Captions

An example code on single-GPU training:

python vlp/run_img2txt_dist.py --output_dir $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_coco_ce} \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_cc}/model.30.bin \
    --do_train --new_segment_ids --always_truncate_tail --amp \
    --src_file $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/dataset_coco.json \
    --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/coco_valid_jpgs.json \
    --image_root $DATA_ROOT/COCO/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd --enable_butd --s2s_prob 1 --bi_prob 0

(Optional) To enable Self-Critical Sequence Training (SCST), set --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_coco_ce}/model.28.bin, --max_pred 0, --mask_prob 0, --scst, --learning_rate 1e-6 (note that SCST requires a much smaller lr than the default 3e-5), and --output_dir accordingly. The training takes 30 epochs to converge with each epoch takes roughly 3hr.

An example code on 2-GPU training with distributed data parallel:

python vlp/run_img2txt_dist.py --output_dir $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_coco_ce} \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_cc}/model.30.bin \
    --do_train --new_segment_ids --always_truncate_tail --amp \
    --src_file $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/dataset_coco.json \
    --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/coco_valid_jpgs.json \
    --image_root $DATA_ROOT/COCO/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd --enable_butd --s2s_prob 1 --bi_prob 0 \
    --local_rank 0 --global_rank 0 --world_size 2 &
python vlp/run_img2txt_dist.py --output_dir $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_coco_ce} \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_cc}/model.30.bin \
    --do_train --new_segment_ids --always_truncate_tail --amp \
    --src_file $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/dataset_coco.json \
    --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/coco_valid_jpgs.json \
    --image_root $DATA_ROOT/COCO/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd --enable_butd --s2s_prob 1 --bi_prob 0 \
    --local_rank 1 --global_rank 1 --world_size 2

VQA 2.0

An example code on single-GPU training:

python vlp/run_img2txt_dist.py --output_dir $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_vqa2} \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_cc}/model.30.bin \
    --do_train --learning_rate 2e-5 --new_segment_ids --always_truncate_tail --amp \
    --num_train_epochs 20 --enable_butd --s2s_prob 0 --bi_prob 1 \
    --image_root $DATA_ROOT/COCO/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd
    --tasks vqa2 --src_file $CODE_ROOT/pythia/data/imdb/vqa/imdb_train2014.npy \
    --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/coco_valid_jpgs.json \
    --mask_prob 0 --max_pred 1

To get the models for leaderboard, we perform the training on both train set and val set (set src_file to imdb_train2014 and imdb_val2014).

Flickr30k Captions

python vlp/run_img2txt_dist.py --output_dir $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_flickr30k} \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_cc}/model.30.bin \
    --do_train --new_segment_ids --always_truncate_tail --amp \
    --image_root $DATA_ROOT/flickr30k/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd --enable_butd --s2s_prob 1 --bi_prob 0 \
    --dataset flickr30k --region_bbox_file flickr30k_detection_vg_thresh0.2_feat_gvd_checkpoint_trainvaltest.h5 \
    --src_file $DATA_ROOT/flickr30k/annotations/dataset_flickr30k.json \
    --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/flickr30k/annotations/flickr30k_valid_jpgs.json

Inference and Testing

Here, we list the expected result outcomes from our Unified VLP checkpoints. For image captioning, on Karpathy's test split:

Dataset Method BLEU@4 METEOR CIDEr SPICE
COCO Unified VLP 36.5 28.4 116.9 21.2
Unified VLP + SCST 39.5 29.3 129.3 23.2
Flickr30k Unified VLP 30.1 23.0 67.4 17.0

For VQA:

Dataset Trained on Eval Split Overall Yes/No Number Other
VQA 2.0 train only Dev 67.4 85.4 50.1 58.3
train+val Test-Dev 70.5 87.2 52.1 60.3
train+val Test-Standard 70.7 87.4 52.1 60.5

Note that results on Test-Dev and Test-Standard are from VQA 2.0 evaluation server. train+val indicates models are trained on both training set and validation set following the practice from early works.

Note: All the evaluation scripts support data parallel. But since we do not use standard PyTorch DataLoader, the data loading speed might be the bottleneck (imagine num_workers is always 0). We recommend to perform single-GPU inference (e.g., CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0).

COCO Captions

python vlp/decode_img2txt.py \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_coco_ce}/model.${epoch}.bin \
    --new_segment_ids --batch_size 100 --beam_size ${beam} --enable_butd \
    --image_root $DATA_ROOT/COCO/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd/ --split ${split} \
    --src_file $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/dataset_coco.json \
    --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/coco_valid_jpgs.json

where checkpoint_coco_ce indicates checkpoint name, beam=1 for split=val set and 5 for split=test set, and epoch indicates the checkpoint at which epoch.

VQA 2.0

python vlp/eval_vqa2.py \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_vqa2}/model.${epoch}.bin \
    --new_segment_ids --enable_butd --image_root $DATA_ROOT/COCO/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd/ \
    --src_file $CODE_ROOT/pythia/data/imdb/vqa/imdb_${split}.npy --batch_size 50 \
    --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/COCO/annotations/coco_valid_jpgs.json --split ${split}

where split could be val2014 or test2015.

Flickr30k Captions

python vlp/decode_img2txt.py \
    --model_recover_path $CHECKPOINT_ROOT/${checkpoint_flickr30k}/model.${epoch}.bin \
    --new_segment_ids --batch_size 100 --beam_size ${beam} --enable_butd \
    --image_root $DATA_ROOT/flickr30k/region_feat_gvd_wo_bgd/ --split ${split} \
    --dataset flickr30k --region_bbox_file flickr30k_detection_vg_thresh0.2_feat_gvd_checkpoint_trainvaltest.h5 \
    --src_file $DATA_ROOT/flickr30k/annotations/dataset_flickr30k.json \
    --file_valid_jpgs $DATA_ROOT/flickr30k/annotations/flickr30k_valid_jpgs.json

where beam=1 for split=val set and 5 for split=test set, and epoch indicates the checkpoint at which epoch.

Testing

For all the datasets, checkpoints (by epochs) with the best validation accuracy (CIDEr in captioning and overall accuracy in VQA) are evaluated on the test set (Test-Dev and Test-Standard for VQA 2.0).
