Updates

• [14 Feb 2022]

  • We have released the features and codebase of our CoLA on ActivityNet v1.2 dataset here.

• [21 July 2021]

  • We have released the codebase and models of our CoLA.
  • Note that we have fine-tuned some hyper-parameter settings so the experimental result is better (+2.1% mAP@0.5, +0.8% mAP@AVG) than the orignal paper! Details are as follows:

  CoLA	mAP@tIoU(%)
  	0.1	0.2	0.3	0.4	0.5	0.6	0.7	AVG
  original paper	66.2	59.5	51.5	41.9	32.2	22.0	13.1	40.9
  this codebase	66.1	60.0	52.1	43.1	34.3	23.5	13.1	41.7
  gain(Δ)	-0.1	+0.5	+0.6	+1.2	+2.1	+1.5	0.0	+0.8

  • [Results Reproducible] You can get the above results without changing any line of our code.

Dependencies

Please make sure Python>=3.6 is installed (Anaconda3 is recommended).

Required packges are listed in requirements.txt. You can install them by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Code and Data Preparation

1. Get the code. Clone this repo with git:

   • For THUMOS'14 experiments:

     git clone https://github.com/zhang-can/CoLA
     

   • For ActivityNet experiments:

     git clone -b anet12 https://github.com/zhang-can/CoLA
     

2. Prepare the features.

   • Here, we provide the two-stream I3D features for THUMOS'14. You can download them from Google Drive or Weiyun.
   • (ActivityNet v1.2 features are available here.)
   • Unzip the downloaded features into the data folder. Make sure the data structure is as below.

   ├── data
   └── THUMOS14
       ├── gt.json
       ├── split_train.txt
       ├── split_test.txt
       └── features
           ├── ...
   

Training

You can use the following command to train CoLA:

python main_cola.py train

After training, you will get the results listed in this table.

Testing

You can evaluate a trained model by running:

python main_cola.py test MODEL_PATH

Here, MODEL_PATH denotes for the path of the trained model.

This script will report the localization performance in terms of mean average precision (mAP) at different tIoU thresholds.

You can download our trained model from Google Drive or Weiyun.
