History Aware Multimodal Transformer for Vision-and-Language Navigation

Overview

History Aware Multimodal Transformer for Vision-and-Language Navigation

This repository is the official implementation of History Aware Multimodal Transformer for Vision-and-Language Navigation. Project webpage: https://cshizhe.github.io/projects/vln_hamt.html

Vision-and-language navigation (VLN) aims to build autonomous visual agents that follow instructions and navigate in real scenes. In this work, we introduce a History Aware Multimodal Transformer (HAMT) to incorporate a long-horizon history into multimodal decision making. HAMT efficiently encodes all the past panoramic observations via a hierarchical vision transformer. It, then, jointly combines text, history and current observation to predict the next action. We first train HAMT end-to-end using several proxy tasks including single-step action prediction and spatial relation prediction, and then use reinforcement learning to further improve the navigation policy. HAMT achieves new state of the art on a broad range of VLN tasks, including VLN with fine-grained instructions (R2R, RxR) high-level instructions (R2R-Last, REVERIE), dialogs (CVDN) as well as long-horizon VLN (R4R, R2R-Back).

Installation

  1. Install Matterport3D simulators: follow instructions here. We use the latest version (all inputs and outputs are batched).
export PYTHONPATH=Matterport3DSimulator/build:$PYTHONPATH
  1. Install requirements:
conda create --name vlnhamt python=3.8.5
conda activate vlnhamt
pip install torch==1.7.1+cu101 torchvision==0.8.2+cu101 torchaudio==0.7.2 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Download data from Dropbox, including processed annotations, features and pretrained models. Put the data in `datasets' directory.

  2. (Optional) If you want to train HAMT end-to-end, you should download original Matterport3D data.

Extracting features (optional)

Scripts to extract visual features are in preprocess directory:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python preprocess/precompute_img_features_vit.py \
    --model_name vit_base_patch16_224 --out_image_logits \
    --connectivity_dir datasets/R2R/connectivity \
    --scan_dir datasets/Matterport3D/v1_unzip_scans \
    --num_workers 4 \
    --output_file datasets/R2R/features/pth_vit_base_patch16_224_imagenet.hdf5

Training with proxy tasks

Stage 1: Pretrain with fixed ViT features

NODE_RANK=0
NUM_GPUS=4
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES='0,1,2,3' python -m torch.distributed.launch \
    --nproc_per_node=${NUM_GPUS} --node_rank $NODE_RANK \
    pretrain_src/main_r2r.py --world_size ${NUM_GPUS} \
    --model_config pretrain_src/config/r2r_model_config.json \
    --config pretrain_src/config/pretrain_r2r.json \
    --output_dir datasets/R2R/exprs/pretrain/cmt-vitbase-6tasks

Stage 2: Train ViT in an end-to-end manner

Change the config file as `pretrain_r2r_e2e.json'.
