# Model Card for mr_resnest101e_timm_no_pretrain

A ResNeSt (ResNet based architecture with Split Attention) image classification model. 
Trained on gold standard annotations and outputs from early experiments using MapReader  (found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Livingwithmachines/MapReader_Data_SIGSPATIAL_2022)).

## Model Details

### Model Description

- **Model type:** Image classification /feature backbone
- **Finetuned from model:**  https://huggingface.co/timm/resnest101e.in1k

## Uses

This fine-tuned version of the model is an output of the MapReader pipeline. It was used to classify 'patch' images (cells/regions) of scanned nineteenth-century series maps of Britain provided by the National Library of Scotland (learn more [here](https://maps.nls.uk/os/)). We classified patches to indicate the presence of buildings and railway infrastructure. See [our paper](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3557919.3565812) for more details about labels.

## How to Get Started with the Model in MapReader

Please go to [the MapReader documentation](https://mapreader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/User-guide/Classify.html) for instructions on how to use this model in MapReader.
