Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to run a specific lip movement observation project, particularly focusing on the associated code and documentation. Participants are seeking clarity on the steps required to execute the project, which involves Python programming and model training.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion about how to run the code and requests assistance, indicating a lack of clarity in the documentation.
  • Another participant suggests checking the README.md file on GitHub for guidance, but acknowledges that it may not be clear enough.
  • Several participants question what specific aspects of the README were unclear, prompting further inquiry into the user's understanding of software development environments.
  • There is a suggestion that the code is intended for developers rather than general users, which may contribute to the confusion.
  • A participant explains that the project consists of multiple Python scripts for different tasks, emphasizing that it is not a straightforward application but rather a collection of tools for data processing and model training.
  • One participant recommends obtaining the original research paper and possibly contacting the authors for additional clarification on running the code.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the clarity of the documentation or the user's understanding of the project. Multiple viewpoints exist regarding the accessibility of the code and the necessary background knowledge for running it.

Contextual Notes

There are indications of missing assumptions about the user's familiarity with programming environments and the specific steps required to execute the code. The discussion highlights the potential complexity of the project and the need for clearer documentation.

Have you installed an environment that can run Python code?

Indeed. OP, what is your knowledge level for software development environments? The code you have found is not really for the general public; it's meant for developers.

Your response. Reminds me of the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz movie when the balloon takes off without Dorothy.

I can't come back, I don't know how it works.

What I meant was what step in the readme wasn't clear? This code isn't something run like a game or application, rather it's a collection of tools to pre process a dataset, to analyse the data, and then train a model.

Each task is a separate python script run as shown in the readme. Once the model is trained then you can write code to read in the model and use it to analyze some new video of someone talking.

I would get their paper and maybe even ask them about the steps they take and how they run their code beyond what is shown in the readme.
