News

• 2020/10/09: Upload 3D-ResNet18-UCF101-128x128 pretrained weights.
• 2020/06/05: Update the link for 3D-ResNet34-Kinetics400-224x224-runningStats, the old one didn't save BN running statistics, thus couldn't be used to evaluate linear probe. Now it saves (without changing any weights).

Installation

The implementation should work with python >= 3.6, pytorch >= 0.4, torchvision >= 0.2.2.

The repo also requires cv2 (conda install -c menpo opencv), tensorboardX >= 1.7 (pip install tensorboardX), joblib, tqdm, ipdb.

Self-supervised training (DPC)

Change directory cd DPC/dpc/

• example: train DPC-RNN using 2 GPUs, with 3D-ResNet18 backbone, on Kinetics400 dataset with 128x128 resolution, for 300 epochs

  python main.py --gpu 0,1 --net resnet18 --dataset k400 --batch_size 128 --img_dim 128 --epochs 300
  

• example: train DPC-RNN using 4 GPUs, with 3D-ResNet34 backbone, on Kinetics400 dataset with 224x224 resolution, for 150 epochs

  python main.py --gpu 0,1,2,3 --net resnet34 --dataset k400 --batch_size 44 --img_dim 224 --epochs 150
  

Evaluation: supervised action classification

Change directory cd DPC/eval/

• example: finetune pretrained DPC weights (replace {model.pth.tar} with pretrained DPC model)

  python test.py --gpu 0,1 --net resnet18 --dataset ucf101 --batch_size 128 --img_dim 128 --pretrain {model.pth.tar} --train_what ft --epochs 300
  

• example (continued): test the finetuned model (replace {finetune_model.pth.tar} with finetuned classifier model)

  python test.py --gpu 0,1 --net resnet18 --dataset ucf101 --batch_size 128 --img_dim 128 --test {finetune_model.pth.tar}
  

DPC-pretrained weights

It took us more than 1 week to train the 3D-ResNet18 DPC model on Kinetics-400 with 128x128 resolution, and it tooks about 6 weeks to train the 3D-ResNet34 DPC model on Kinetics-400 with 224x224 resolution (with 4 Nvidia P40 GPUs).
