ALFRED (Action Learning From Realistic Environments and Directives), is a new benchmark for learning a mapping from natural language instructions and egocentric vision to sequences of actions for household tasks. Long composition rollouts with non-reversible state changes are among the phenomena we include to shrink the gap between research benchmarks and real-world applications.

Quickstart

Clone repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/askforalfred/alfred.git alfred
$ export ALFRED_ROOT=$(pwd)/alfred

Install requirements:

$ virtualenv -p $(which python3) --system-site-packages alfred_env # or whichever package manager you prefer
$ source alfred_env/bin/activate

$ cd $ALFRED_ROOT
$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Download Trajectory JSONs and Resnet feats (~198GB):

$ cd $ALFRED_ROOT/data
$ sh download_data.sh json_feat

Train models:

$ cd $ALFRED_ROOT
$ python models/train/train_seq2seq.py --data data/json_feat_2.1.0 --model seq2seq_im_mask --dout exp/model:{model},name:pm_and_subgoals_01 --splits data/splits/oct21.json --gpu --batch 8 --pm_aux_loss_wt 0.2 --subgoal_aux_loss_wt 0.2

More Info

• Dataset: Downloading full dataset, Folder structure, JSON structure.
• Models: Training and Evaluation, File structure, Pre-trained models.
• Data Generation: Generation, Replay Checks, Data Augmentation (high-res, depth, segementation masks etc).

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• PyTorch 1.1.0
• Torchvision 1.3.0
• AI2THOR 2.1.0

See requirements.txt for all prerequisites

Leaderboard

Run your model on test seen and unseen sets, and create an action-sequence dump of your agent:

$ cd $ALFRED_ROOT
$ python models/eval/leaderboard.py --model_path <model_path>/model.pth --model models.model.seq2seq_im_mask --data data/json_feat_2.1.0 --gpu --num_threads 5

This will create a JSON file, e.g. task_results_20191218_081448_662435.json, inside the <model_path> folder. Submit this JSON here: AI2 ALFRED Leaderboard. For rules and restrictions, see the getting started page.

Docker Setup
