Visual Chatbot

Introduction

Demo for the paper

Visual Dialog
Abhishek Das, Satwik Kottur, Khushi Gupta, Avi Singh, Deshraj Yadav, José M. F. Moura, Devi Parikh, Dhruv Batra
arxiv.org/abs/1611.08669
CVPR 2017 (Spotlight)

Live demo: https://visualchatbot.cloudcv.org

Visual Dialog requires an AI agent to hold a meaningful dialog with humans in natural, conversational language about visual content. Given an image, dialog history, and a follow-up question about the image, the AI agent has to answer the question. Putting it all together, we demonstrate the first ‘visual chatbot’!

cd visual-chatbot
git submodule init && git submodule update
sh models/download_models.sh
pip install -r requirements.txt

If you have not used nltk before, you will need to download a tokenization model.

python -m nltk.downloader punkt

Change lines 2-4 of neuraltalk2/misc/LanguageModel.lua to the following:

local utils = require 'neuraltalk2.misc.utils'
local net_utils = require 'neuraltalk2.misc.net_utils'
local LSTM = require 'neuraltalk2.misc.LSTM'

Create the database

python manage.py makemigrations chat
python manage.py migrate

Running the RabbitMQ workers and Development Server

Open 3 different terminal sessions and run the following commands:
