A Closer Look at Few-Shot Video Classification: A New Baseline and Benchmark

This repo contains the reference source code for the paper:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.12358

Data Preparation

Few-shot versions of Kinetics and Something-Something V2 datasets can be downloaded from here. We used the split from CMN for Kinetics and the split from OTAM for SSv2. If you already have the full versions of Kinetics and SSv2, you can also use ./tools/select_kinetics100.py to select the few-shot verison datasets. Generate the annotation using ./tools/write_kinetics100.py

Feature Extractor Training

For classifier-based methods, we use the standard ResNet50 backbone and training strategies for video classification. Please refer to https://github.com/liu-zhy/temporal-adaptive-module for the feature extractor training. Note that we apply dropout for Baseline Plus and set 'consensus_type=avg' for both classifier-based methods.

For meta-learning methods, modify the corresponding code to have the correct path and filename for the dataset. To train the Meta-Baseline for example (see paper for other hyperparams), run:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES='0' python proto.py --work_dir [WORK_DIR] --dataset somethingotam

Testing

For classifier-based methods, modify ./config/test_baseline.yaml and run:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES='0' python baseline_evaluate.py

For meta-learning methods, run:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES='0' python proto.py --test_model True --checkpoint [CHECKPOINT] --dataset somethingotam

Please refer to utils.py for additional options.
