We propose the Rich Encoder-decoder framework for Video Event Captioner (REVECA). Our model achieves 3rd place in GEBC Challenge.

Environments

1. Build a docker image and make a docker container

cd docker 
bash docker_build.sh $image_name

2. Install packages

pip install -r requirements

Datasets

Download Kinetics-GEBC and annotations in here. And save files in ./datasets

Our model uses three video features: instance segmentation mask, TSN features

1. We use the semantic segmentation mask for the training model. The segmentation model is Mask2Former.

2. We use TSN features extracted by Temporal Segmentation Networks. TSN features released in GEBC Challenge can download here.

Methods

Our video understanding model is called REVECA, based on CoCa. We use three methods: (1) Temporal-based Pairwise Difference (TPD), (2) Frame position embedding, and (3) LoRA. we use timm version == 0.6.2.dev0 and loralib. And then, we modify a vision_transformer.py for using LoRA.
