# DeepIntuit

[DeepIntuit](https://bwgzk-keke.github.io/DeepIntuit/) is a progressive framework for **open-instance video classification** that evolves models from simple feature imitation to intrinsic reasoning.

## Model Description

DeepIntuit bridges the gap between traditional video encoders and the generalization capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs). Instead of directly predicting labels from visual features, it utilizes a three-stage reasoning pipeline:

1.  **Cold-start supervised alignment:** Initializes reasoning capability using supervised traces generated by a teacher model.
2.  **Intrinsic reasoning refinement (Stage 1):** Refines the reasoning ability using **Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)** reinforcement learning to enhance coherence.
3.  **Intuitive calibration (Stage 2):** Trains a classifier on the intrinsic reasoning traces to ensure stable knowledge transfer and accurate classification results.

This approach decouples reasoning generation from final decision-making, significantly improving robustness in scenarios with vast intra-class variations.

## Installation

The repository contains separate environments for each stage. For inference using the final model, set up the stage 2 environment:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/BWGZK-keke/DeepIntuit.git
cd DeepIntuit/stage2_model
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Sample Usage

After setting up the environment, you can run inference using the following command provided in the official repository:

```bash
cd stage2_model
python inference.py \
  --model_path BWGZK/DeepIntuit \
  --video_path path_to_your_video.mp4
```
