Error while evaluating through pretrained checkpoint

[aekanshkansal1]

I am trying to get the results through pretrained cpu checkpoint. My command is

th predict.lua -checkpoint_file checkpoints/vqa_epoch23.26_0.4610_cpu.t7 -input_image_path data/train2014/COCO_train2014_000000405541.jpg -question 'What is the cat on?' -gpuid -1

Error given is Loading data files...

Even if I donot use -gpuid parameter it gives the same error

[abhshkdz]

Do you have data.t7, answers_vocab.t7, and questions_vocab.t7 in the data/ folder and the model checkpoint in the checkpoints/ folder? (Download links given here).

[aekanshkansal1]

Yes I have all of these in correct folders

[abhshkdz]

That's odd. It seems like a path issue. Line 47 is local data = torch.load(tensor_file). If you th and torch.load('data/data.t7'), do you get the same error?

[aekanshkansal1]

If I th and torch.load('data/data.t7') I get error as

[abhshkdz]

Thanks. Same error. How about torch.load('data/data.t7', 'binary')?

[aekanshkansal1]

Same error still

[abhshkdz]

Thanks. Seems like an architecture issue. Could you try downloading data.ascii.t7 from here. And then try torch.load('data/data.ascii.t7', 'ascii').

[aekanshkansal1]

After using load('data/data.ascii.t7', 'ascii')

Output given is

...e/aekansh/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/torch/File.lua:375: unknown object stack traceback: ...e/aekansh/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/trepl/init.lua:506: in function <...e/aekansh/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/trepl/init.lua:499> C: in function 'error' ...e/aekansh/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/torch/File.lua:375: in function 'readObject' ...e/aekansh/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/torch/File.lua:409: in function 'load' [string "_RESULT={torch.load('data/data.ascii.t7')}"]:1: in main chunk C: in function 'xpcall' ...e/aekansh/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/trepl/init.lua:661: in function 'repl' .../torch/install/lib/luarocks/rocks/trepl/scm-1/bin/th:204: in main chunk

[abhshkdz]

Strange! The documentation suggests ascii should be readable. Not sure what the issue is. You might want to try asking on the Torch group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/torch7.

[aekanshkansal1]

OK thanks

[yadavankit]

@abhshkdz I am not getting this error on th then torch.load('data/data.t7'). Instead, am getting this type of output (am displaying just one)-

121512 :
        {
          answer : 997
          image_id : 552610
          question : ShortTensor - size: 23
        }

I guess this works fine. But, on using the predict.lua as - th predict.lua -checkpoint_file checkpoints/vqa_epoch23.26_0.4610_cpu.t7 -input_image_path data/train2014/COCO_train2014_000000405543.jpg -question 'What is in the plate' am getting the following stacktrace -

What @aekanshkansal1 is facing is ARM architecture issue I guess, but ascii should work nicely.

[abhshkdz]

Hey @yadavankit, data.t7 looks fine. The error looks like you're using luajit, the checkpoint was created using lua5.1 (ref).

[yadavankit]

@abhshkdz thanks 👍 will clean and install 5.1 right away

[yadavankit]

Now, am getting error on evaluating, am already having the latest protobuf 3.2.0 installed -

If the message turns out to be larger than 1073741824 bytes, parsing will be halted for security reasons.

[abhshkdz]

Memory issues?

[yadavankit]

Should I try increasing the limit as below? CodedInputStream::SetTotalBytesLimit() in google/protobuf/io/coded_stream.h What would you recommend doing?

[abhshkdz]

Don't think it's that. Read bytes seem to be lower than the limit. Does this error show up in every run? Could you monitor system memory and see if things aren't going over? You could also comment everything after the loadcaffe.load(...) line and gradually uncomment things to pinpoint what's causing the issue.

[yadavankit]

No, every now and then this error occurs too -

[yadavankit]

I don't think system memory will be the problem here,

[yadavankit]

Am now getting this too -

hi @yadavankit ,I get the same error, how you fixed it? thank you

@zhimeng9 which version of Lua are you using?
