|
|
| ## 🚀 Quick Start |
|
|
| ### 1. Get the sample data |
|
|
| ```bash |
| # Clone this sample dataset (~few GB, all modalities, 43 routes) |
| git lfs install |
| git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/HenryYHW/BATON-Sample |
| |
| # Or via Python |
| from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download |
| snapshot_download('HenryYHW/BATON-Sample', repo_type='dataset', local_dir='./data') |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### 2. Get the full dataset |
|
|
| ```bash |
| # Full dataset (380 routes) — requires HuggingFace account |
| python -c " |
| from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download |
| snapshot_download('HenryYHW/BATON', repo_type='dataset', local_dir='./data') |
| " |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### 3. Extract video features |
|
|
| ```bash |
| cd data_processing |
| |
| # EfficientNet-B0 features (used in main baselines) |
| python extract_front_video_features.py |
| python extract_cabin_video_features.py |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### 4. Train baselines (requires full dataset + benchmark files) |
|
|
| ```bash |
| cd baseline |
| |
| # GRU on all modalities — Task 1 |
| python train_nn.py --task task1 --modality Full-All --model gru --seed 42 |
| |
| # XGBoost on structured signals — Task 2 |
| python train_classical.py --task task2 --model xgb --seed 42 |
| |
| # Zero-shot VLM baseline (GPT-4o or Gemini 2.5 Flash) |
| python run_vlm.py --model gpt4o --task task1 |
| ``` |

| ## 📐 Evaluation Protocol |
|
|
| | Setting | Value | |

| | **Additional splits** | Cross-vehicle, Random | |
| | **Input window** | 5 seconds | |
| | **Prediction horizon** | 1 s, 3 s, 5 s (main: **3 s**) | |
| | **Random seeds** | 42, 123, 7 — report 3-seed average | |
| | **Task 1 metric** | Macro-F1 | |
| | **Task 2 / 3 metrics** | AUPRC (primary), AUC-ROC, F1 | |
