# Multimodal Mixture-of-Experts VAE
This repository contains the code for the framework in **Variational Mixture-of-Experts Autoencodersfor Multi-Modal Deep Generative Models** (see [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.03393.pdf)).

## Downloads
### MNIST-SVHN Dataset

We construct a dataset of pairs of MNIST and SVHN such that each pair depicts the same digit class. Each instance of a digit class in either dataset is randomly paired with 20 instances of the same digit class from the other dataset.

**Usage**: To prepare this dataset, run `bin/make-mnist-svhn-idx.py` -- this should automatically handle the download and pairing.

### CUB Image-Caption

We use Caltech-UCSD Birds (CUB) dataset, with the bird images and their captions serving as two modalities.

**Usage**: We offer a cleaned-up version of the CUB dataset. Download the dataset [here](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~yshi/mmdgm/datasets/cub.zip). First, create a `data` folder under the project directory; then unzip thedownloaded content into `data`. After finishing these steps, the structure of the `data/cub` folder should look like:

```
data/cub
│───text_testclasses.txt
│───text_trainvalclasses.txt
│───train
│ │───002.Laysan_Albatross
│ │ └───...jpg
│ │───003.Sooty_Albatross

```

### Pretrained network
Pretrained models are also available if you want to play around with it. Download from the following links:
- [MNIST-SVHN](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~yshi/mmdgm/pretrained_models/mnist-svhn.zip)
- [CUB Image-Caption (feature)](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~yshi/mmdgm/pretrained_models/cubISft.zip)
- [CUB Image-Caption (raw images)](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~yshi/mmdgm/pretrained_models/cubIS.zip)

## Usage

### Training

Make sure the [requirements](#requirements) are satisfied in your environment, and relevant [datasets](#downloads) are downloaded. `cd` into `src`, and, for MNIST-SVHN experiments, run

```bash
python main.py --model mnist_svhn

```

For CUB Image-Caption with image feature search (See Figure 7 in our [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.03393.pdf)), run
```bash
python main.py --model cubISft

```

For CUB Image-Caption with raw image generation, run
```bash
python main.py --model cubIS

```

You can also play with the hyperparameters using arguments. Some of the more interesting ones are listed as follows:
- **`--obj`**: Objective functions, offers 3 choices including importance-sampled ELBO (`elbo`), IWAE (`iwae`) and DReG (`dreg`, used in paper). Including the `--looser` flag when using IWAE or DReG removes unbalanced weighting of modalities, which we find to perform better empirically;
- **`--K`**: Number of particles, controls the number of particles `K` in IWAE/DReG estimator, as specified in following equation:

- **`--learn-prior`**: Prior variance learning, controls whether to enable prior variance learning. Results in our paper are produced with this enabled. Excluding this argument in the command will disable this option;
- **`--llik_scaling`**: Likelihood scaling, specifies the likelihood scaling of one of the two modalities, so that the likelihoods of two modalities contribute similarly to the lower bound. The default values are:
- _MNIST-SVHN_: MNIST scaling factor 32*32*3/28*28*1 = 3.92
- _CUB Image-Cpation_: Image scaling factor 32/64*64*3 = 0.0026
- **`--latent-dimension`**: Latent dimension

You can also load from pre-trained models by specifying the path to the model folder, for example `python --model mnist_svhn --pre-trained path/to/model/folder/`. See following for the flag we used for these pretrained models:
- **MNIST-SVHN**: `--model mnist_svhn --obj dreg --K 30 --learn-prior --looser --epochs 30 --batch-size 128 --latent-dim 20`
- **CUB Image-Caption (feature)**: `--model cubISft --learn-prior --K 50 --obj dreg --looser --epochs 50 --batch-size 64 --latent-dim 64 --llik_scaling 0.002`
- **CUB Image-Caption (raw images)**: `--model cubIS --learn-prior --K 50 --obj dreg --looser --epochs 50 --batch-size 64 --latent-dim 64`

### Analysing
We offer tools to reproduce the quantitative results in our paper in `src/report`. To run any of the provided scripts, `cd` into `src`, and

- for likelihood estimation of data using a trained model, run `python calculate_likelihoods.py --save-dir path/to/trained/model/folder/ --iwae-samples 1000`;
- for coherence analysis and latent digit classification accuracy on MNIST-SVHN dataset, run `python analyse_ms.py --save-dir path/to/trained/model/folder/`;
- for coherence analysis on CUB image-caption dataset, run `python analyse_cub.py --save-dir path/to/trained/model/folder/`.
- _**Note**_: The learnt CCA projection matrix and FastText embeddings can vary quite a bit due to the limited dataset size, therefore re-computing them as part of the analyses can result in different numeric values including for the baseline. **The relative performance of our model against the baseline remains the same, just that the numbers can different.**
To produce similar results to what's reported in our paper, download the zip file [here](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~yshi/mmdgm/pretrained_models/CCA_emb.zip) and do the following:
1. Move `cub.all`, `cub.emb`, `cub.pc` to under `data/cub/oc:3_sl:32_s:300_w:3/`;
2. Move the rest of the files, i.e. `emb_mean.pt`, `emb_proj.pt`, `images_mean.pt`, `im_proj.pt` to `path/to/trained/model/folder/`;
3. Set the `RESET` variable in `src/report/analyse_cub.py` to `False`.
