PyTorch S3D Text-Video trained HowTo100M

This repo contains a PyTorch S3D Text-Video model trained from scratch on HowTo100M using MIL-NCE [1] If you use this model, we would appreciate if you could cite [1] and [2] :).

The official Tensorflow hub version of this model can be found here: https://tfhub.dev/deepmind/mil-nce/s3d/1 with a colab on how to use it here: https://colab.research.google.com/github/tensorflow/hub/blob/master/examples/colab/text_to_video_retrieval_with_s3d_milnce.ipynb

Getting the data

You will first need to download the model weights and the word dictionary.

wget https://www.rocq.inria.fr/cluster-willow/amiech/howto100m/s3d_howto100m.pth
wget https://www.rocq.inria.fr/cluster-willow/amiech/howto100m/s3d_dict.npy

How To use it ?

The following code explain how to instantiate S3D Text-Video with the pretrained weights and run inference on some examples.

import torch as th
from s3dg import S3D

# Instantiate the model
net = S3D('s3d_dict.npy', 512)

# Load the model weights
net.load_state_dict(th.load('s3d_howto100m.pth'))

# Video input should be of size Batch x 3 x T x H x W and normalized to [0, 1] 
video = th.rand(2, 3, 32, 224, 224)

# Evaluation mode
net = net.eval()
 
# Video inference
video_output = net(video)

# Text inference
text_output = net.text_module(['open door', 'cut tomato'])

NB: The video network is fully convolutional (with global average pooling in time and space at the end). However, we recommend using T=32 frames (same as during training), T=16 frames also works ok. For H and W we have been using values from 200 to 256.

video_output is a dictionary containing two keys:

• video_embedding: This is the video embedding (size 512) from the joint text-video space. It should be used to compute similarity scores with text inputs using the text embedding.
• mixed_5c: This is the global averaged pooled feature from S3D of dimension 1024. This should be use for classification on downstream tasks.

text_output is also a dictionary with a single key:

• text_embedding: It is the text embedding (size 512) from the joint text-video space. To compute the similarity score between text and video, you would compute the dot product between text_embedding and video_embedding.

Computing all the pairwise video-text similarities:

The similarity scores can be computed with a dot product between the text_embedding and the video_embedding.

video_embedding = video_output['video_embedding']
text_embedding = text_output['text_embedding']
# We compute all the pairwise similarity scores between video and text.
similarity_matrix = th.matmul(text_embedding, video_embedding.t())
