CVPR 2019 Accepted Papers

The main goal of these scripts is to build a page that displays the accepted papers for CVPR 2019 in a way that is easier for humans to parse (see: https://mattdeitke.com/CVPR-2019). Below is an example of what this repository will display, and following that is what CVPR open access currently shows.

Installation

0. Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/mattdeitke/CVPR2019

1. Save the HTML from where the accepted papers are displayed. For CVPR, this year, that would be http://openaccess.thecvf.com/CVPR2019.py.

2. Install ImageMagick, which can be done using sudo apt-get install imagemagick or using another supported method such as brew install imagemagick.

3. Run pdftowordcloud.py to generate top words for each paper. The output is saved in topwords.p.

4. Run pdftothumbs.py to generate tiny thumbnails for all papers. The outputs are saved in thumbs/ folder.

5. Run scrape.py to generate each paperid, title, authors list by scraping the cvpr2019oar.html page.

6. Run makecorpus.py to create allpapers.txt file that has all papers (one per row).

7. Run python lda.py -f allpapers.txt -k 7 --alpha=0.5 --beta=0.5 -i 100 . This will generate a pickle file called ldaphi.p that contains the LDA word distribution matrix. Thanks to this nice LDA code by @shuyo! It requires nltk library and numpy. In this example we are using 7 categories. You would need to change the cvprnice_template.html file a bit if you wanted to try different number of categories.

8. Generate the abstract files inside abstracts/ folder using getabstracts.py.

9. Finally, run generatenicelda.py to create the index.html page.
