Pytorch implementation of the MAC-Network

This is a Pytorch implementation of the 2018 ICLR Paper Compositional Attention Networks for Machine Reasoning (MAC Network), based mostly on the original implementation by the authors and partly (mainly question preprocessing) on the implementation by rosinality.

Requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Prepare dataset:

  • Download and extract CLEVR v1.0 dataset
  • Preprocess question data: python preprocess.py [CLEVR directory]
  • Extract image features with ResNet 101 as described in the original Git
  • Put extracted features and preprocessed question data into the data folder so you have the following files:
    • data/train_features.h5
    • data/val_features.h5
    • data/train.pkl
    • data/val.pkl
    • data/dic.pkl

To train:

python code/main.py --cfg cfg/clevr_train_mac.yml --gpu 0
  • The number of reasoning steps can be changed through the config file (TRAIN -> MAX_STEPS) - default value is 4.
  • Training progress can be visualized via tensorboard --logdir data/
  • The basic implementation closely mirrors the parameters and config settings from the original implementation's args.txt, i.e. this line in the original Git: python main.py --expName "clevrExperiment" --train --testedNum 10000 --epochs 25 --netLength 4 @configs/args.txt (we evaluate on the full validation set though)

Results:

  • We train the model on a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
  • The model with MAX_STEPS=4/8/12/16 needs about 2.4 / 3.2 / 4.2 / 5.1 GB VRAM.
  • Training time is about 19/34/41/50 minutes for one epoch for the model with MAX_STEPS=4/8/12/16.
  • Our implementation reaches around 93-95% accuracy on the validation set after five epochs, 95-96% after ten epochs, 97-98% after 20 epochs.
