Getting started

  1. Download Docker image
$ sudo docker pull colemurray/medium-show-and-tell-caption-generator
  1. Download model graph and weights
$ sudo docker run -e PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/app -v $PWD:/opt/app \
-it colemurray/medium-show-and-tell-caption-generator \
python3 /opt/app/bin/download_model.py \
--model-dir /opt/app/etc
  1. Download vocabulary
$ curl -o etc/word_counts.txt https://raw.githubusercontent
.com/ColeMurray/medium-show-and-tell-caption-generator/master/etc/word_counts.txt

  1. Add testing images to imgs/ folder

  2. Generate captions

$ sudo docker run -v $PWD:/opt/app \
-e PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/app \
-it colemurray/medium-show-and-tell-caption-generator  \
python3 /opt/app/medium_show_and_tell_caption_generator/inference.py \
--model_path /opt/app/etc/show-and-tell.pb \
--vocab_file /opt/app/etc/word_counts.txt \
--input_files /opt/app/imgs/*

Run with conda environment

These steps assume that model and vocabulary are already downloaded.

  1. Build and activate conda environment
$ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ source activate show-and-tell
  1. Run inference 
    $ python -m medium_show_and_tell_caption_generator.inference --model_path='etc/show-and-tell.pb' \
--vocab_file='etc/word_counts.txt' \
--input_files='imgs/*'
