MSVA (Multi Source Visual Attention)

MSVA is a deep learning model for supervised video summarization. In this research, we address this research gap and investigate how different feature types, i.e., static and motion features, can be integrated in a model architecture for video summarization.

Other Options for Configuration Parameters

"verbose" // True or False : if you want to see detailed running logs or not
"use_cuda" // True or False : if code should execute with GPU or CPU
"cuda_device" // 0, GPU index which will be running the deeplearning code.
"max_summary_length" //  0.15 is the summary length default set in experiments in early work for bench mark dataset
"weight_decay" //  0.00001 weight decay in torch adam optimizer 
"lr" // [0.00005] as learning rate during optimization 
"epochs_max" // maximum number of epochs in training
"train_batch_size"// 5, the trainign batch size, you can vary this to experiment with. 
"fusion_technique" // fusion technique cabe be 'early', 'inter' or 'late'
"method" //  this method reffers to early fusion operation. It can be 'min' for minimum, 'max' for maximum or 'mean' to take average of all. 
"sample_technique" // this can be 'sub' for sub sample or 'up' for up sample as interpolation when features are not matching the shape
"stack" // in early fusion you want 'v' for vertical stack or 'h' for horizontal stack of features of all sources 
"name_anchor" // this is just a name you want to add in to the models name and result files saved during train or test like "inter_add_aperture_250"
"output_dir" // output directory where you want to save the results like "./results/"
"apertures" // aperture size you want to experiment with like [250] but it can be a list you want to treat as hyperparameter optimization like [50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400]
"combis" // combination of features you want to experiment with for example [[1,1,1]] means all three sources but it can be list of combination to see different combination roles like [[1,0,0],[1,1,1],[1,0,1],[1,1,0],[0,1,1],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]]
