Clone the repo recursively:

git clone --recursive [email protected]:chihyaoma/cyclical-visual-captioning.git

If you didn't clone with the --recursive flag, then you'll need to manually clone the pybind submodule from the top-level directory:

git submodule update --init --recursive

The proposed cyclical method can be applied directly to image and video captioning tasks.

Currently, installation guide and our code for video captioning on the ActivityNet-Entities dataset are provided in anet-video-captioning.
