# VSA4VQA
Official code for [VSA4VQA: Scaling a Vector Symbolic Architecture to Visual Question Answering on Natural Images](https://perceptualui.org/publications/penzkofer24_cogsci/) published at CogSci'24
## Installation
```shell
# create environment
conda create -n ssp_env python=3.9 pip
conda activate ssp_env
conda install pytorch torchvision pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia -y
sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev
# install requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
# install CLIP
pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git
# setup jupyter notebook kernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name=ssp_env
```
## Get GQA Programs
using code by [https://github.com/wenhuchen/Meta-Module-Network](https://github.com/wenhuchen/Meta-Module-Network)<br>
- Download github repo MMN
- Add `gqa-questions` folder with GQA json files
- Run Preprocessing
`python preprocess.py create_balanced_programs`
- Save generated programs to data folder:
```
testdev_balanced_inputs.json
trainval_balanced_inputs.json
testdev_balanced_programs.json
trainval_balanced_programs.json
```
> GQA dictionaries: `gqa_all_attributes.json` and `gqa_all_vocab_classes` are also adapted from [https://github.com/wenhuchen/Meta-Module-Network](https://github.com/wenhuchen/Meta-Module-Network)
## Generate Query Masks
- generates full_relations_df.pkl if not already present
- generates query masks for all relations with more than 1000 samples
```shell
python generate_query_masks.py
```
## Pipeline
Execute Pipeline for all samples in GQA: train_balanced (with `TEST=False`) or validation_balanced (with `TEST=True`)
```shell
python run_programs.py
```
For visualizing samples with full all pipeline steps see [VSA4VQA_examples.ipynb](VSA4VQA_examples.ipynb) <br>
