NameError when trying to evaluate model type - 'VideoChat2_it4_mistral_LinearProAda' not defined

[Joker-QDS]

I'm encountering a NameError when trying to dynamically load a model class using eval(args.model_type). The error occurs because Python cannot find the class VideoChat2_it4_mistral_LinearProAda in the current namespace.

NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[9], line 112
108 print("vision_encoder.num_frames:", cfg.model.vision_encoder.num_frames)
109 # cfg.model.vision_encoder.num_frames = 4
--> 112 model_cls = eval(args.model_type)
113 # model = VideoChat2_it_mistral(config=cfg.model)
114 model = model_cls(config=cfg.model)

File :1

NameError: name 'VideoChat2_it4_mistral_LinearProAda' is not defined

If you are working in a Jupyter Notebook or a similar environment, the current working directory may not align with the directory in which your script resides.

To inspect the current working directory, you can include the following code:
import os
print("Current working dir:", os.getcwd())

If the printed directory is incorrect, you can modify the system path or use a relative path to ensure that Python can locate your module appropriately:

import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/TimeSuite') # Replace with the root path of your project
