Setup

To install requirements, run:

git clone https://github.com/mlvlab/Flipped-VQA.git
cd Flipped-VQA
mkdir pretrained
mkdir data
conda create -n flipped-vqa python=3.8
conda activate flipped-vqa
sh setup.sh

Dataset & LLaMA Preparation

You can download our preprocessed datasets (NExT-QA, STAR, DramaQA, VLEP and TVQA) at here. Put them in ./data. Also, you can download original LLaMA at here, and put the checkpoint in ./pretrained.

We also provide fine-tuned checkpoints on each dataset at here.

Evaluation

From the training command, simply replace train.py to eval.py and add --resume ./your/checkpoint.pth.
