Summary of Changes
This pull request improves the overall reproducibility and stability of the codebase by fixing several issues and updating environment requirements. The main changes include:
Bug Fixes
• Corrected a typo in the view_selection function call in captioner.py.
• Commented out the unused use_rl_training argument in dataset construction to avoid runtime errors.
• Fixed a duplicated launch_distributed(args) call in main.py.
Dependency and Environment Updates
• Updated the networkx version in README.md to avoid deprecated imports and ensure compatibility with Python 3.9+.
• Added a NumPy version requirement (numpy==1.26.4) to prevent inconsistent behavior across Python environments.
Argument Parser Improvements
• Added a --local-rank argument to the parser to support distributed training launched by PyTorch’s distributed utilities.
Script Fixes
• Updated train.generalist.sh to use the correct dataset name (scenecold_dataset) and removed inconsistent arguments.
These fixes address multiple reproducibility issues that affected both training and dataset loading. The overall goal is to make the project easier to run out of the box.
