Preparation

• Requirements:
  • PyTorch 1.7.1
  • librosa: conda install -c conda-forge librosa
  • h5py: conda install h5py
  • wandb: pip install wandb
  • fvcore: pip install 'git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/fvcore'
  • simplejson: pip install simplejson
  • psutil: pip install psutil
  • tensorboard: pip install tensorboard
• Add this repository to $PYTHONPATH.

export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/auditory-slow-fast/slowfast:$PYTHONPATH

• VGG-Sound:
  1. Download the audio. For instructions see here
  2. Download train.pkl (link) and test.pkl (link). I converted the original train.csv and test.csv (found here) to pickle files with column names for easier use
• EPIC-KITCHENS:
  1. From the annotation repository of EPIC-KITCHENS-100 (link), download: EPIC_100_train.pkl, EPIC_100_validation.pkl, and EPIC_100_test_timestamps.pkl. EPIC_100_train.pkl and EPIC_100_validation.pkl will be used for training/validation, while EPIC_100_test_timestamps.pkl can be used to obtain the scores to submit in the AR challenge.
  2. Download all the videos of EPIC-KITCHENS-100 using the download scripts found here, where you can also find detailed instructions on using the scripts.
  3. Extract audio from the videos by running:

  python audio_extraction/extract_audio.py /path/to/videos /output/path 
  

  4. Save audio in HDF5 format by running:

  python audio_extraction/wav_to_hdf5.py /path/to/audio /output/hdf5/EPIC-KITCHENS-100_audio.hdf5
  

Training/validation on EPIC-KITCHENS-100

To train the model run (fine-tuning from VGG-Sound pretrained model):

python tools/run_net.py --cfg configs/EPIC-KITCHENS/SLOWFAST_R50.yaml NUM_GPUS num_gpus 
OUTPUT_DIR /path/to/output_dir EPICKITCHENS.AUDIO_DATA_FILE /path/to/EPIC-KITCHENS-100_audio.hdf5 
EPICKITCHENS.ANNOTATIONS_DIR /path/to/annotations TRAIN.CHECKPOINT_FILE_PATH /path/to/VGG-Sound/pretrained/model

To train from scratch remove TRAIN.CHECKPOINT_FILE_PATH /path/to/VGG-Sound/pretrained/model.

You can also train the individual streams. For example, for training Slow run:

python tools/run_net.py --cfg configs/EPIC-KITCHENS/SLOW_R50.yaml NUM_GPUS num_gpus 
OUTPUT_DIR /path/to/output_dir EPICKITCHENS.AUDIO_DATA_FILE /path/to/EPIC-KITCHENS-100_audio.hdf5 
EPICKITCHENS.ANNOTATIONS_DIR /path/to/annotations TRAIN.CHECKPOINT_FILE_PATH /path/to/VGG-Sound/pretrained/model

To validate the model run:

python tools/run_net.py --cfg configs/EPIC-KITCHENS/SLOWFAST_R50.yaml NUM_GPUS num_gpus 
OUTPUT_DIR /path/to/experiment_dir EPICKITCHENS.AUDIO_DATA_FILE /path/to/EPIC-KITCHENS-100_audio.hdf5 
EPICKITCHENS.ANNOTATIONS_DIR /path/to/annotations TRAIN.ENABLE False TEST.ENABLE True 
TEST.CHECKPOINT_FILE_PATH /path/to/experiment_dir/checkpoints/checkpoint_best.pyth

To obtain scores on the test set run:

python tools/run_net.py --cfg configs/EPIC-KITCHENS/SLOWFAST_R50.yaml NUM_GPUS num_gpus 
OUTPUT_DIR /path/to/experiment_dir EPICKITCHENS.AUDIO_DATA_FILE /path/to/EPIC-KITCHENS-100_audio.hdf5 
EPICKITCHENS.ANNOTATIONS_DIR /path/to/annotations TRAIN.ENABLE False TEST.ENABLE True 
TEST.CHECKPOINT_FILE_PATH /path/to/experiment_dir/checkpoints/checkpoint_best.pyth 
EPICKITCHENS.TEST_LIST EPIC_100_test_timestamps.pkl EPICKITCHENS.TEST_SPLIT test

Training/validation on VGG-Sound

To train the model run:

python tools/run_net.py --cfg configs/VGG-Sound/SLOWFAST_R50.yaml NUM_GPUS num_gpus 
OUTPUT_DIR /path/to/output_dir VGGSOUND.AUDIO_DATA_DIR /path/to/dataset 
VGGSOUND.ANNOTATIONS_DIR /path/to/annotations 

To validate the model run:

python tools/run_net.py --cfg configs/VGG-Sound/SLOWFAST_R50.yaml NUM_GPUS num_gpus 
OUTPUT_DIR /path/to/experiment_dir VGGSOUND.AUDIO_DATA_DIR /path/to/dataset 
VGGSOUND.ANNOTATIONS_DIR /path/to/annotations TRAIN.ENABLE False TEST.ENABLE True 
TEST.CHECKPOINT_FILE_PATH /path/to/experiment_dir/checkpoints/checkpoint_best.pyth
