Installation

This code uses Python 3.6 and PyTorch 0.4.1 cuda version 9.0.

Pretrained model

Demo

You can use our pretrained model to get recipes for your images.

Download the required files (listed above), place them under the data directory, and try our demo notebook src/demo.ipynb.

Note: The demo will run on GPU if a device is found, else it will use CPU.

Data

Note: all python calls below must be run from ./src

Build vocabularies

$ python build_vocab.py --recipe1m_path path_to_dataset

Images to LMDB (Optional, but recommended)

For fast loading during training:

$ python utils/ims2file.py --recipe1m_path path_to_dataset

If you decide not to create this file, use the flag --load_jpeg when training the model.

Training

Create a directory to store checkpoints for all models you train (e.g. ../checkpoints and point --save_dir to it.)

We train our model in two stages:

  1. Ingredient prediction from images
python train.py --model_name im2ingr --batch_size 150 --finetune_after 0 --ingrs_only \
--es_metric iou_sample --loss_weight 0 1000.0 1.0 1.0 \
--learning_rate 1e-4 --scale_learning_rate_cnn 1.0 \
--save_dir ../checkpoints --recipe1m_dir path_to_dataset
  1. Recipe generation from images and ingredients (loading from 1.)
python train.py --model_name model --batch_size 256 --recipe_only --transfer_from im2ingr \
--save_dir ../checkpoints --recipe1m_dir path_to_dataset

Check training progress with Tensorboard from ../checkpoints:

$ tensorboard --logdir='../tb_logs' --port=6006
