by ADMIN 55 views

Introduction

Thank you for your interest in the implementation of VadCLIP, a valuable tool for various applications. We appreciate your questions regarding the training setup and feature extraction, which will be addressed in this article. We will provide clarification on the extraction of CLIP features, file path modifications, and recommended hyperparameter settings for training on different datasets.

Extracting CLIP Features

CLIP Feature Extraction Process

The instructions for training VadCLIP mention extracting CLIP features for the UCF-Crime and XD-Violence datasets. However, it is unclear whether the provided features are already processed or if manual extraction is required using a specific CLIP model version.

Extracting CLIP Features Manually

To clarify, the CLIP features provided are pre-extracted using a specific CLIP model version. You do not need to extract them manually. The pre-extracted features are available for use in the training process.

CLIP Model Version

The CLIP model version used for feature extraction is ViT-B/32. This model is a variant of the Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture, which has been shown to be effective in various computer vision tasks.

Pre-Extracted Features

The pre-extracted features are available in the features directory of the VadCLIP repository. You can use these features directly in the training process without the need for manual extraction.

Modifying File Paths

File Path Format

When modifying the file paths in list/xd_CLIP_rgb.csv and list/xd_CLIP_rgbtest.csv, it is essential to follow a specific format to ensure correct loading of the data.

File Path Format Guidelines

  • The file path should be in the format path/to/file.ext.
  • The file path should be enclosed in double quotes (") to ensure correct loading of the data.
  • The file path should be separated from the file name by a forward slash (/).

Sample Reference

Here is a sample reference for modifying the file paths:

"path/to/file1.ext"
"path/to/file2.ext"

Recommended Hyperparameter Settings

Hyperparameter Settings for Different Datasets

When training VadCLIP on different datasets, it is essential to adjust the hyperparameter settings to achieve optimal results.

Hyperparameter Settings Guidelines

  • Batch Size: The batch size should be adjusted based on the size of the dataset and the available computational resources.
  • Learning Rate: The learning rate should be adjusted based on the complexity of the dataset and the desired level of convergence.
  • Epochs: The number of epochs should be adjusted based on the desired level of convergence and the available computational resources.

Default Hyperparameter Settings

The default hyperparameter settings are available in xd_option.py. You can modify these settings to suit your specific needs.

Default Hyperparameter Settings

  • Batch Size: 32
  • Learning Rate: 0.001
  • Epochs: 10

Conclusion

In conclusion, the CLIP features provided are pre-extracted using a specific CLIP model version, and you do not need to extract them manually. When modifying the file paths, it is essential to follow a specific format to ensure correct loading of the data. Finally, the recommended hyperparameter settings for training on different datasets are available in xd_option.py, and you can modify these settings to suit your specific needs.
