# Model Card for Phikon


---


## Model Details

Phikon is a self-supervised learning model for histopathology. 

To learn more about how to use the model, we encourage you to read our blog post and view this Colab notebook.

### Model Description

- **Developed by:** Owkin
- **Funded by:** Owkin and IDRIS
- **Model type:** Vision Transformer
- **License:** [Owkin non-commercial license](https://github.com/owkin/HistoSSLscaling/blob/main/LICENSE.txt)


## Uses

### Direct Use

The primary use of the Phikon model can be used for feature extraction from histology image tiles. 

### Downstream Use 

The model can be used for cancer classification on a variety of cancer subtypes. The model can also be finetuned to specialise on cancer subtypes.


## Technical Specifications

### Compute Infrastructure

All the models we built were trained on the French Jean Zay cluster

### Hardware

NVIDIA V100 GPUs with 32Gb RAM 

### Software
