dict_words_boxes

{img_id:(str): {
    obj_id:(str): {
        'bnbox': a list of four coordinations,
        'word':  the linguistic representation of the object
    },
},

Regular data (dictionary with all images and their object ids, corresponding words).

language_input

a tensor of word indexes.

The shape of input to main.py

< Number of Batches: int > < Learning Rate: float > < Curiosity Setting: str > < Seed >

• Number of Batches: int, (default= 40)
• Learning Rate: [.1, .01, .001, .0001, .00001] : float
• Curiosity Setting: ["curious", "plasticity", "sn", "random"], (sn: Subjective Novelty)
• Seed: The ones used to run the experiment: [123, 234, 345, 456, 567, 678, 789, 890, 901, 12, 23, 34, 45, 56, 67, 78, 89, 90, 1, 100]

Code Structure considerations

Constants

In order to manage constants I made the class UniversalConstants for constants in toolbox.py. All the code files should import this class and make an object of it with specific name uc. Here is how you do it:

from toolbox import UniversalConstants
uc = UniversalConstants()
