| # Annotation pipeline — code backup (EgoProactive synthetic data) |
|
|
| Code that produced `egoconv_dense_*` and `egolongqa_*` in this repo. Backed up 2026-08-17 because |
| the CPU VM that ran it (`217.18.55.12`) was destroyed and `/workspace` is not a persistent volume. |
|
|
| ## ⚠️ Known loss |
| `annotate_full.py` — the resume-capable driver loop that ran the 235-clip dense pass — existed |
| **only on that VM and is gone**. It is reconstructible: it iterated `egoconv235_manifest.json`, |
| called the ambient_agent per clip with `annotation_prompt.txt`, wrote one JSON per clip, and |
| skipped clips whose output already existed (that skip-on-existing behaviour is how the run was |
| resumed after the OpenRouter 402). `launchers/run_dense.sh` and `resume_dense.sh` show exactly how |
| it was invoked. The closest surviving equivalents are `scripts/annotate_v2.py` / `annotate_videos.py`. |
|
|
| ## Contents |
| - `ambient_agent/annotation_prompt.txt` — **the tuned t3 prompt** (the valuable artefact). |
| Policy: setup-phase coverage from t=0, one cue per distinct step (no target count), collapse |
| repetition, fire at onset, −0.5 s shift. Was **untracked** in the ambient_agent working tree. |
| - `ambient_agent/ANNOTATION_GUIDE.md` — operating notes. |
| - `ambient_agent/agent.py`, `llm.py` + `UNCOMMITTED.diff`, `BASE_COMMIT.txt` — local modifications |
| on top of `ambient-intelligence-hq/ambient` (see BASE_COMMIT.txt); never committed upstream. |
| - `scripts/annotate_*.py` — annotation variants from `/workspace/ambient` (a repo with **no remote**). |
| - `launchers/*.sh` — how the dense + egolongqa runs were launched, resumed and transferred. |
|
|
| ## Prompt-tuning history (do not re-learn this the hard way) |
| t2 overfit the tuning videos: 0.643 on tuning → **0.494 held-out, worse than baseline**. t3 was |
| chosen because setup-coverage + repetition-collapse generalised (~+0.02). Always validate a prompt |
| change on ≥5 held-out videos, never on the videos used to tune it. |
|
|
| ## Orchestrator |
| `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731` via OpenRouter (API key from env, never hardcoded) + a |
| self-hosted NVFP4 Qwen3.6-27B vision model behind Docker vLLM. |
