# DeiT

This is a recently introduced model so the API hasn’t been tested extensively. There may be some bugs or slight breaking changes to fix it in the future. If you see something strange, file a Github Issue.

## Overview

The DeiT model was proposed in Training data-efficient image transformers & distillation through attention by Hugo Touvron, Matthieu Cord, Matthijs Douze, Francisco Massa, Alexandre Sablayrolles, Hervé Jégou. The Vision Transformer (ViT) introduced in Dosovitskiy et al., 2020 has shown that one can match or even outperform existing convolutional neural networks using a Transformer encoder (BERT-like). However, the ViT models introduced in that paper required training on expensive infrastructure for multiple weeks, using external data. DeiT (data-efficient image transformers) are more efficiently trained transformers for image classification, requiring far less data and far less computing resources compared to the original ViT models.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Recently, neural networks purely based on attention were shown to address image understanding tasks such as image classification. However, these visual transformers are pre-trained with hundreds of millions of images using an expensive infrastructure, thereby limiting their adoption. In this work, we produce a competitive convolution-free transformer by training on Imagenet only. We train them on a single computer in less than 3 days. Our reference vision transformer (86M parameters) achieves top-1 accuracy of 83.1% (single-crop evaluation) on ImageNet with no external data. More importantly, we introduce a teacher-student strategy specific to transformers. It relies on a distillation token ensuring that the student learns from the teacher through attention. We show the interest of this token-based distillation, especially when using a convnet as a teacher. This leads us to report results competitive with convnets for both Imagenet (where we obtain up to 85.2% accuracy) and when transferring to other tasks. We share our code and models.

Tips:

• Compared to ViT, DeiT models use a so-called distillation token to effectively learn from a teacher (which, in the DeiT paper, is a ResNet like-model). The distillation token is learned through backpropagation, by interacting with the class ([CLS]) and patch tokens through the self-attention layers.
• There are 2 ways to fine-tune distilled models, either (1) in a classic way, by only placing a prediction head on top of the final hidden state of the class token and not using the distillation signal, or (2) by placing both a prediction head on top of the class token and on top of the distillation token. In that case, the [CLS] prediction head is trained using regular cross-entropy between the prediction of the head and the ground-truth label, while the distillation prediction head is trained using hard distillation (cross-entropy between the prediction of the distillation head and the label predicted by the teacher). At inference time, one takes the average prediction between both heads as final prediction. (2) is also called “fine-tuning with distillation”, because one relies on a teacher that has already been fine-tuned on the downstream dataset. In terms of models, (1) corresponds to DeiTForImageClassification and (2) corresponds to DeiTForImageClassificationWithTeacher.
• Note that the authors also did try soft distillation for (2) (in which case the distillation prediction head is trained using KL divergence to match the softmax output of the teacher), but hard distillation gave the best results.
• All released checkpoints were pre-trained and fine-tuned on ImageNet-1k only. No external data was used. This is in contrast with the original ViT model, which used external data like the JFT-300M dataset/Imagenet-21k for pre-training.
• The authors of DeiT also released more efficiently trained ViT models, which you can directly plug into ViTModel or ViTForImageClassification. Techniques like data augmentation, optimization, and regularization were used in order to simulate training on a much larger dataset (while only using ImageNet-1k for pre-training). There are 4 variants available (in 3 different sizes): facebook/deit-tiny-patch16-224, facebook/deit-small-patch16-224, facebook/deit-base-patch16-224 and facebook/deit-base-patch16-384. Note that one should use DeiTImageProcessor in order to prepare images for the model.

This model was contributed by nielsr. The TensorFlow version of this model was added by amyeroberts.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a DeiTModel. It is used to instantiate an DeiT model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the DeiT facebook/deit-base-distilled-patch16-224 architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Example:

>>> from transformers import DeiTConfig, DeiTModel

>>> # Initializing a DeiT deit-base-distilled-patch16-224 style configuration
>>> configuration = DeiTConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the deit-base-distilled-patch16-224 style configuration
>>> model = DeiTModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

## TFDeiTModel

### class transformers.TFDeiTModel

< >

( *args **kwargs )

Parameters

• config (DeiTConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

The bare DeiT Model transformer outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top. This model is a TensorFlow tf.keras.layers.Layer. Use it as a regular TensorFlow Module and refer to the TensorFlow documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

( pixel_values: typing.Optional[tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor] = None bool_masked_pos: typing.Optional[tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor] = None head_mask: typing.Optional[tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor] = None output_attentions: typing.Optional[bool] = None output_hidden_states: typing.Optional[bool] = None return_dict: typing.Optional[bool] = None training: bool = False ) transformers.modeling_tf_outputs.TFBaseModelOutputWithPooling or tuple(tf.Tensor)

Parameters

• pixel_values (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, num_channels, height, width)) — Pixel values. Pixel values can be obtained using AutoImageProcessor. See DeiTImageProcessor.call() for details.
• head_mask (tf.Tensor of shape (num_heads,) or (num_layers, num_heads), optional) — Mask to nullify selected heads of the self-attention modules. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

• output_attentions (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.
• output_hidden_states (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.
• return_dict (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

transformers.modeling_tf_outputs.TFBaseModelOutputWithPooling or tuple(tf.Tensor)

A transformers.modeling_tf_outputs.TFBaseModelOutputWithPooling or a tuple of tf.Tensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (DeiTConfig) and inputs.

• last_hidden_state (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

• pooler_output (tf.Tensor of shape (batch_size, hidden_size)) — Last layer hidden-state of the first token of the sequence (classification token) further processed by a Linear layer and a Tanh activation function. The Linear layer weights are trained from the next sentence prediction (classification) objective during pretraining.

This output is usually not a good summary of the semantic content of the input, you’re often better with averaging or pooling the sequence of hidden-states for the whole input sequence.

• hidden_states (tuple(tf.Tensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of tf.Tensor (one for the output of the embeddings + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.

• attentions (tuple(tf.Tensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of tf.Tensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length).

Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

The TFDeiTModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, TFDeiTModel

>>> image = dataset["test"]["image"][0]

>>> inputs = image_processor(image, return_tensors="tf")
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
>>> list(last_hidden_states.shape)
