### Updates
|
14 |
+
|
15 |
+
- 2025-03-17: TimeZero initial release! Code and evaluation scripts are now available.
|
16 |
+
- 2025-03-17: TimeZero achieves SOTA performance on Charades-STA!
|
17 |
+
|
18 |
+
### Overview
|
19 |
+
|
20 |
+
TimeZero is a reasoning-guided Large Vision-Language Model (LVLM) for Temporal Video Grounding (TVG). It excels at identifying temporal segments within videos that correspond to a given natural language query. TimeZero achieves this entirely through a reinforcement learning approach that allows the model to reason about video-language relationships *during inference*.
|
21 |
+
|
22 |
+
Key Features:
|
23 |
+
|
24 |
+
* **Reinforcement Learning Training:** TimeZero is trained *entirely* using reinforcement learning, enhancing its ability to generate accurate temporal boundaries.
|
25 |
+
* **Test-Time Reasoning:** The model exhibits emergent reasoning capabilities during inference, generating a chain of thought to justify its segment predictions.
|
26 |
+
* **SOTA Performance:** TimeZero sets a new SOTA on the Charades-STA benchmark.
|
27 |
+
|
28 |
+
|
29 |
+
This README provides an overview of TimeZero, including setup instructions, the training process, and evaluation guidelines.

+
## Setup
|
41 |
+
|
42 |
+
```bash
|
43 |
+
conda create -n timezero python=3.11
|
44 |
+
conda env create -f environment.yml
|
45 |
+
conda activate timezero
|
46 |
+
```
|
47 |
+
|
48 |
+
## Training
|
49 |
+
|
50 |
+
TimeZero training involves the following steps:
|
51 |
+
|
52 |
+
1. **Data Preprocessing:**
|
53 |
+
|
54 |
+
Download the dataset [Charades-STA](https://github.com/jiyanggao/TALL#charades-sta-anno-download), [ActivityNet](https://cs.stanford.edu/people/ranjaykrishna/densevid/)
|
55 |
+
|
56 |
+
Before training, you need to preprocess the video data.
|
57 |
+
|
58 |
+
```bash
|
59 |
+
bash preprocess_video.sh
|
60 |
+
```
|
61 |
+
Specify the path to the Charades-STA dataset (video files, annotations, etc.).
|
62 |
+
|
63 |
+
2. **GRPO Training:**
|
64 |
+
|
65 |
+
```bash
|
66 |
+
cd scripts
|
67 |
+
bash run_grpo_video.sh
|
68 |
+
```
|
69 |
+
|
70 |
+
**`run_grpo_video.sh`**
|
71 |
+
|
72 |
+
```bash
|
73 |
+
#!/bin/bash
|
74 |
+
|
75 |
+
export DEBUG_MODE="false" # Set to "true" for verbose logging during training.

## Evaluation
|
111 |
+
|
112 |
+
After training, evaluate your model's performance:
|
113 |
+
|
114 |
+
```bash
|
115 |
+
bash scripts/evaluate.sh # Use evaluate.sh for evaluation.
|
116 |
+
```
|
117 |
+
**`evaluate.sh`**
|
118 |
+
```
|
119 |
+
python evaluate.py --model_base <path_to_your_trained_model> --dataset <charades or activitynet>
|
120 |
+
```
|
121 |
+
|
122 |
+
> The evaluation script (`evaluate.py`) needs to be implemented to load your model, process the test data, and calculate the relevant metrics ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.).
