About checkpoints files

[CherryNhu]

I am currently reading your paper and conducting experiments based on the method you proposed for MedVQA. I am deeply impressed by your contributions to the field, and I highly appreciate the effort and dedication you have put into this area of research.

However, as I try to replicate your experiments, I have encountered a couple of challenges that I hope you could help me clarify:

Where can I access the first checkpoints file, and what is its purpose in the process?

The README mentions downloading checkpoints and placing them in the download/checkpoints directory. Unfortunately, I am unable to access the download link, as it requires a university email from the University of Sydney. Could you please provide guidance on how to proceed in this case?

I would be grateful for your prompt response and any advice you can provide.

Thank you very much for your time and support.

Hi

I have updated the new link for them; please try again.
The pre-trained model is used as the backbone; our method is training based on the pre-trained weight.
