Multimodal Prompting with Missing Modalities for Visual Recognition (CVPR 2023)

Official PyTorch implementaton of CVPR 2023 paper "Multimodal Prompting with Missing Modalities for Visual Recognition".
You can visit our project website here.

Introduction

In this paper, we tackle two challenges in multimodal learning for visual recognition: 1) when missing-modality occurs either during training or testing in real-world situations; and 2) when the computation resources are not available to finetune on heavy transformer models. To this end, we propose to utilize prompt learning and mitigate the above two challenges together. Specifically, our modality-missing-aware prompts can be plugged into multimodal transformers to handle general missing-modality cases, while only requiring less than 1% learnable parameters compared to training the entire model.

Usage

Enviroment

Prerequisites

Python = 3.7.13

Pytorch = 1.10.0

CUDA = 11.3

Other requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Prepare Dataset

We use three vision and language datasets: MM-IMDb, UPMC Food-101, and Hateful Memes. Please download the datasets by yourself. We use pyarrow to serialize the datasets, the conversion codes are located in vilt/utils/wirte_*.py. Please see DATA.md to organize the datasets, otherwise you may need to revise the write_*.py files to meet your dataset path and files. Run the following script to create the pyarrow binary file:

python make_arrow.py --dataset [DATASET] --root [YOUR_DATASET_ROOT]
