SVG Challenge 2024 Starter Kit Updates
Hey everyone! We’ve made some important updates to the starter kits to improve your development experience.
Important: Update Your Fork
Please pull the latest changes into your fork to get these improvements:
# Add the upstream remote if you haven't already
git remote add upstream git@gitlab.aicrowd.com:aicrowd/challenges/sony-sounding-video-generation-challenge-2024/svg-2024-spatial-track-starter-kit.git
# Fetch the latest changes
git fetch upstream
# Merge them into your main branch
git merge upstream/main
For Temporal track participants, use git@gitlab.aicrowd.com:aicrowd/challenges/sony-sounding-video-generation-challenge-2024/svg-2024-temporal-track-starter-kit.git as the upstream.
New Docker Testing Script
We’ve added a docker_build_run.sh script has been added to both the starter kits that lets you test your submission exactly as it would run on our evaluation servers. This script:
-
Builds the docker image locally
-
Runs the full evaluation pipeline on the sample dataset
-
Helps catch any runtime issues before you submit
Docker Build Optimization
The Dockerfile has been optimized to be more efficient:
-
No longer copies the entire repository into the image
-
Significantly reduces build time and image size
-
Makes iterating on your submissions faster
Temporal Track Fix
For participants in the Temporal track:
-
PyAV version has been pinned to a specific version prevent issues with
generate_videos. - This addresses the
TypeError: an integer is requiredingenerate_videos, which were the causes of the recent failures in the submissions for the temporal track.
How to Use the New Docker Script
Simply run:
./docker_build_run.sh
This will give you the most accurate preview of how your submission will perform on our evaluation servers. We urge you to ensure that this runs successfully before you make a submission.
Best,
