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 (~17GB):

$ 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 0.1 --subgoal_aux_loss_wt 0.1

Models: Training and Evaluation, File structure, Pre-trained models.
Data Generation: Generation, Replay Checks, Data Augmentation (high-res, depth, segementation masks etc).
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions.

Prerequisites

Python 3
PyTorch 1.1.0
Torchvision 0.3.0
AI2THOR 2.1.0

See requirements.txt for all prerequisites

Hardware

Tested on:

GPU - GTX 1080 Ti (12GB)
CPU - Intel Xeon (Quad Core)
RAM - 16GB
OS - Ubuntu 16.04

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

Install Docker and NVIDIA Docker.

Modify docker_build.py and docker_run.py to your needs.

Build

Build the image:

$ python scripts/docker_build.py

Run (Local)

For local machines:

$ python scripts/docker_run.py
 
  source ~/alfred_env/bin/activate
  cd $ALFRED_ROOT

Run (Headless)

For headless VMs and Cloud-Instances:

$ python scripts/docker_run.py --headless 

  # inside docker
  tmux new -s startx  # start a new tmux session

  # start nvidia-xconfig (might have to run this twice)
  sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --use-display-device=None --virtual=1280x1024
  sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --use-display-device=None --virtual=1280x1024

  # start X server on DISPLAY 0
  sudo python ~/alfred/scripts/startx.py 0  # if this throws errors e.g "(EE) Server terminated with error (1)" or "(EE) already running ..." try a display > 0

  # detach from tmux shell
  # Ctrl+b then d

  # source env
  source ~/alfred_env/bin/activate
  
  # set DISPLAY variable to match X server
  export DISPLAY=:0

  # check THOR
  cd $ALFRED_ROOT
  python scripts/check_thor.py

  ###############
  ## (300, 300, 3)
  ## Everything works!!!

You might have to modify X_DISPLAY in gen/constants.py depending on which display you use.

Cloud Instance

ALFRED can be setup on headless machines like AWS or GoogleCloud instances. The main requirement is that you have access to a GPU machine that supports OpenGL rendering. Run startx.py in a tmux shell:

# start tmux session
$ tmux new -s startx 

# start X server on DISPLAY 0
$ sudo python $ALFRED_ROOT/scripts/startx.py 0  # if this throws errors e.g "(EE) Server terminated with error (1)" or "(EE) already running ..." try a display > 0

# detach from tmux shell
# Ctrl+b then d

# set DISPLAY variable to match X server
$ export DISPLAY=:0

# check THOR
$ cd $ALFRED_ROOT
$ python scripts/check_thor.py

###############
## (300, 300, 3)
## Everything works!!!

You might have to modify X_DISPLAY in gen/constants.py depending on which display you use.
