please check the requirements.txt, it can't be successfully used.

[zhonhel]

now the requirements.txt content is:

pytorch-transformers==1.0.0
numpy==1.16.4
lmdb==0.94
tensorboardX==1.2
tensorflow==2.5.0
tensorpack==0.9.4
tqdm==4.31.1
easydict==1.9
PyYAML==5.4
jsonlines==1.2.0
json-lines==0.5.0
matplotlib
Cython
python-prctl
msgpack
msgpack-numpy
opencv-python==4.2.0.34

if run pip install -r requirements.txt, will encounter:

ERROR: Cannot install -r requirements.txt (line 1), -r requirements.txt (line 4), -r requirements.txt (line 5) and numpy==1.16.4 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested numpy==1.16.4
    pytorch-transformers 1.0.0 depends on numpy
    tensorboardx 1.2 depends on numpy
    tensorflow 2.5.0 depends on numpy~=1.19.2

I solved this by relaxing the package version for numpy
Change numpy==1.16.4 to numpy

[zhonhel]

@tejas-gokhale I also did this.

[zhonhel]

@tejas-gokhale Can you successfully execute this command? link

python train_tasks.py --bert_model bert-base-uncased --from_pretrained <pretrained_model_path> --config_file config/bert_base_6layer_6conect.json --tasks 1-2-4-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-15-17 --lr_scheduler 'warmup_linear' --train_iter_gap 4 --task_specific_tokens --save_name multi_task_model

[tejas-gokhale]

I haven't done that yet, but I was able to run demo.ipynb
Two crucial things are using the updated refer.py and vqa-maskrcnn-benchmark . Also, you will need gcc > 5.0.

[zhonhel]

@tejas-gokhale oh, I haven't notice the demo.ipynb file before you mentioned it. I think this point should be added in README.md.

[zhonhel]

@tejas-gokhale
I copied the codes in demo.ipynb to generate a demo.py.
And when I execute python demo.py, I got this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'save/resnext_models/e2e_faster_rcnn_X-152-32x8d-FPN_1x_MLP_2048_FPN_512_train.yaml'

[TopCoder2K]

I solved this by relaxing the package version for numpy
Change numpy==1.16.4 to numpy

The proposed solution by @tejas-gokhale doesn't work for me :(( I'm on Google Colab and I'm getting the following error:

[Vvvvvvsysy]

@TopCoder2K I also encountered the same problem, have you solved it?

[TopCoder2K]

@Vvvvvvsysy, as far as I remember, no... I switched to mmf: https://github.com/facebookresearch/mmf and later to MDETR: https://github.com/ashkamath/mdetr
