We published a paper on arXiv.

Hirokatsu Kataoka, Tenga Wakamiya, Kensho Hara, and Yutaka Satoh,
"Would Mega-scale Datasets Further Enhance Spatiotemporal 3D CNNs",
arXiv preprint, arXiv:2004.04968, 2020.

We uploaded the pretrained models described in this paper including ResNet-50 pretrained on the combined dataset with Kinetics-700 and Moments in Time.

We significantly updated our scripts. If you want to use older versions to reproduce our CVPR2018 paper, you should use the scripts in the CVPR2018 branch.

This update includes as follows:

• Refactoring whole project
• Supporting the newer PyTorch versions
• Supporting distributed training
• Supporting training and testing on the Moments in Time dataset.
• Adding R(2+1)D models
• Uploading 3D ResNet models trained on the Kinetics-700, Moments in Time, and STAIR-Actions datasets

This is the PyTorch code for the following papers:

Pre-trained models are available here.
All models are trained on Kinetics-700 (K), Moments in Time (M), STAIR-Actions (S), or merged datasets of them (KM, KS, MS, KMS).
If you want to finetune the models on your dataset, you should specify the following options.

Train ResNets-50 on the Kinetics-700 dataset (700 classes) with 4 CPU threads (for data loading).
Batch size is 128.
Save models at every 5 epochs. All GPUs is used for the training. If you want a part of GPUs, use CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=....
