Open Source Python Video Software

Elucidation is a Python module designed to be an extremely powerful backend for audio and video converters. The aim of the module is to do all the heavy lifting while applications using it are little more than interfaces to it.

PyTorch-NLP is a library for Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python. It’s built with the very latest research in mind, and was designed from day one to support rapid prototyping. PyTorch-NLP comes with pre-trained embeddings, samplers, dataset loaders, metrics, neural network modules and text encoders. It’s open-source software, released under the BSD3 license. With your batch in hand, you can use PyTorch to develop and train your model using gradient descent. For example, check out this example code for training on the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) Corpus. Now you've setup your pipeline, you may want to ensure that some functions run deterministically. Wrap any code that's random, with fork_rng and you'll be good to go. Now that you've computed your vocabulary, you may want to make use of pre-trained word vectors to set your embeddings.

video-nonlocal-net implements Non-local Neural Networks for video understanding, adding long-range dependency modeling to 2D/3D ConvNet backbones. Non-local blocks compute attention-like responses across all positions in space-time, allowing a feature at one frame and location to aggregate information from distant frames and regions. This formulation improves action recognition and spatiotemporal reasoning, especially for classes requiring context beyond short temporal windows. The repo provides training recipes and models for standard datasets, as well as ablations that show how many non-local blocks to insert and at which stages. Efficient implementations keep memory and compute manageable so the blocks can be added without rewriting the entire backbone. The result is a practical, drop-in mechanism for upgrading purely local video models into context-aware networks with strong benchmark performance.
