Practical overview
When it fits
Use it as a research codebase when investigating multimodal sentiment experiments or adapting the documented dataset and fusion configurations.
Who it is for
- Researchers studying multimodal sentiment or emotion classification.
- Developers exploring attention-based fusion of audio, text and visual features.
- Students reproducing or adapting experiments based on the cited research.
Documented uses
- Explore sentiment classification across audio, text and video modalities.
- Compare attention-based fusion with concatenation-based fusion.
- Configure experiments using MOSI, MOSEI or IEMOCAP and their documented label counts.
- Study utterance-level attention and speaker-independent train/test data organization.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and carries an MIT license. Its README says it is no longer maintained and points to a centralized repository for ongoing multimodal work.
- The README marks the
create_data.pypreprocessing script as obsolete and says to use the preprocessed datasets included in the repository. - The documented dataset configurations use different label counts: MOSI has 2, MOSEI 3 and IEMOCAP 6.
- Fusion can be set to attention-based or concatenation-based; the README notes that
--fusion Trueapplies to the multimodal network. - The repository's maintainers say it is no longer maintained.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Run a multimodal fusion configuration
Use a provided dataset configuration to launch a multimodal experiment with attention-based fusion.
Before you start
- The repository's Python code and preprocessed dataset files.
- Choose one documented dataset: MOSI, MOSEI or IEMOCAP, with its corresponding class count: 2, 3 or 6.
Steps
Select the dataset and matching number of classes.
Run the command below, substituting the dataset and class count as appropriate.
python run.py --unimodal False --fusion True --data mosei --classes 3
Expected outcome
Starts the model with multimodal fusion enabled and the selected dataset configuration.
Guide limitations
- The repository is no longer maintained.
- The README documents sample commands but does not provide environment installation or dependency setup instructions in the supplied material.
