video caption

Introduction

This is a python project for video captioning, using hLSTMat model on the msvd or msr-vtt dataset.

How to use the code?

Data

1. download msvd dataset
2. download msr-vtt dataset
3. extract video feature using https://github.com/Cppowboy/video_feature_extractor

Requirements

• python 2.7
• tensorflow
• tensorboard
• numpy
• pandas
• pickle

Run

1. First, you need to change the data paths in data_engine.py to your own paths.
2. Use python train.py to run the train script. use tensorboard --logdir your_log_dir to visualize the train procedure and show the scores.
