Hi,
thank you for the question.
The annotation file which you mentioned is additional annotations provided by our partner epinote for unlabeled photos from TACO dataset. We did not release the part of annotations alone.
For whole extended TACO annotations with 7 classes look in https://github.com/wimlds-trojmiasto/detect-waste/tree/main/annotations. The photos can be downloaded from TACO repository.
Best,
Sylwia

I want to start from scratch. When I run: python3 annotations_preprocessing.py, I need to ignore annotations_epi.json, don't I?
Thank you !

To run the experiments from beining you have to have annotations per dataset in one file. In the scenario for TACO just combination of train and test files.
The main task of annotations_preprocessing.py or annotations_preprocessing_multi.py is to combine together annotations from few sources and make the classes consistent. Just convert to ours categories.
Keep in mind also that in splitting we have some randomnes, so you can create different train and test subsets.
